Question

Is it AF or implantation bleeding?

OK ladies, I'm probably clutching at straws but here it goes!

Last month my cycle was 30 days long and according to FF and CCTP my luteal phase was 17 days. Just as I was getting exciting to test on 18DPO my AF started. Typical! I usually have a regular 14 day luteal phase.

This cycle I ovulated on CD10 when I normally ovulate on CD13. So 3 days earlier. Because of my long cycle last month I'm now confused with when I should actually expect my AF.

I'm 13DPO today (Sunday) and yesterday I had a bit of spotting when checking my cervix, and today so light I didn't even fill one panty liner. Light pink and brown (not red). So if I take my longest cycle from last month, I'm not due for another 5 days - Friday. Could it be possibly be implantation bleeding or is this early spotting before my AF?

BFNs so far, but I read it would take at least 2-3 after implantation bleeding to give a positive test anyway.

Your thoughts are appreciated!

It really could go either way! I believe that until af really starts you arent out. All you can do is play the waiting game.

Thank you! I think I'm clutching at straws but at least I now have more data to refer back to in future cycles and compare! xxx
