Question

How long does it take to get a positive HPT after Implantation Bleeding?

Hello everyone! I am 14DPO today and i had some light discharge with a brownish tent two days ago (12DPO) this morning AF was due and i always wake up to it but there was no sign of it, so i POAS this morning and it was BFN!
I'm 21, DH is 24 and we've been trying for a couple months now. I don't temp. i think next time i will, but it won't be for a while because DH is active duty and just left for a 6 month deployment! So, i really hope it's a lucky month for us!
My LMP was 3April2016, and I ovulated on 20April2016 which was kinda late this cycle.
i feel like I've been having signs and symptoms since i ovulated! but they are pretty typical in both pre menstrual and pregnancy situations. But i have been having annoying cramps on and off the whole luteal phase which has never happened to me before. they don't hurt. However, they just bug me because i never get them until a day before my AF starts.
So I want to know when would be the best time to test if it was infact IB?
TY!

I would give it another day or two. If af was due today it might just be sporting but he, you never now. Good luck to you and your dh.

There is absolutely no evidence what-so-ever that "implantation bleeding" is real. All the studies on bleeding in very early pregnancy have failed to show a correlation between implantation and early vaginal bleeding, much less a causation. Because of this there is no hard and fast rule on when you'd expect a positive after "implantation bleeding." Some ladies say they get IB several days before a positive. Other ladies report getting it several days after a positive, and everything in between.

Personally, I'd try to disregard the "implantation bleeding" for now and stick to your original testing plans, whatever they were.

Also, unless you normally have a 13 day luteal phase your period would be due tomorrow, not today.

Hopefully you get your BFP. :)
