I had the same thing, 2 days before I tested I started to bleed & was sure it was my AF starting & I still had a +ive. The clinic said sometimes the cervix can get irritated & bleed. Just relax & keep your feet up if you can.

Poor old you - let DH do the hoovering from now on.
I think my wait is over very strong signs of AF I kow this is TMI but have had a brown discharge similar to what I normally get before AF arrives have spent the morning in tears have big puffy eyes, went to the doctors about my still very poorly and bleeding foot, and spent ten minutes crying to him about tmt not having worked. Am going to see my Grandad later who I havent seen for nearly 5 years and he is dying of lung cancer dont know if I can face it have tears in my eyes now just writing to you lot. DH keeps saying dont think the worst etc but I cant help it. I know it was only our first try, but it feels so awful, I had started to feel positive but now I just want to cry.

Kerry - my heart goes to you for having to go through so much at this time. Be strong to see your Grandpa - think of how happy he will be to see you and use your husband's support and it is always ok to cry. We are here for you and feel your tears.
Kerry, am so sorry . I am in exactly the same boat as I too have experienced a small flow this morning. Tried to tell myself it’s implantation bleeding, but the colour is deepening so there’s no doubt in my mind now. Disappointing as we had such good quality blastos, but this IVF-lark really does seem to be a lottery. Guess I have to wait for my 3rd go to see if our number comes up.
I finally logged into my clinic's portal to check my numbers from Saturday (german is not my mother tongue so wanted to see for my own eyes). Exactly what she told me on the phone is on the intranet site...my HCG is only 1.88!!! They do state there is a very, very slim chance of pregnancy with a late implantation but my AF cramps are all too familiar
Now planning on round 2....although not official until tomorrow at 13:00....I am sure to be in round 2 in July.
Dancola, Traci and Kerry,
My heart goes out to you all.
Your descriptions are so vivid and I can easily put myself in your position, even though my first 2ww is ahead of me.
All the work. All the needles. All the prayers. All the @%&*!#^% waiting! To come to this! I don't take disappointment well, and I can't imagine how you are coping!
All I can say is... you are all young yet - even you, Dancola!
God bless you and give you peace through this ordeal.

It was ok seeing my grandad although he looked very poorly I managed to curb my tears for the time we were there.
AF pains seem to be getting stronger and I am still finding it hard to stop my tears. I didnt expect it to work first time but you do get those few glimmers of hope especially because of everything you go through with the treatment it all seems so harsh and unfair when it hasnt worked.
Im sorry to be so down, i just feel so sad, it seems to be the only word to explain it.
Kerry
Kerry ... I can feel how low you are .... You've got three more days to go before you'll know for sure, and I know they'll be 3 days of torture. As so many girls have said before, all these symptoms mean nothing. I hope this feeling passes for you, and you can become a little more positive. Take care

Dancola - I've posted elsewhere but really, honestly and truthfully there are stories of bleeding at this stage which haven't been -ve results. PMA for tomorrow.
Kerry. Find things to help pass these next 3 days...it IS difficult to keep positive but you must until you know otherwise. Keep posting on here, we're all here for you.
Traci. Fingers crossed for tomorrow. Late implantation DOES happen, let's pray it does for you.
