Hi! I’m currently 10dpo, and the past week I’ve started to notice symptoms like tiredness, weird smells, and unusual cramps on the right side of my lower abdomen. Yesterday, I woke up with extremely sore nipples which has carried into today. I caved and took a test today, a cheap equate one, where I noticed the FAINTEST line at 5 minutes. Then about an hour ago I had brown and pink spotting though my periods are regular and not due for another 5 days. So I’m pretty positive the test isn’t reliable, because if I am experiencing implantation bleeding then I wouldn’t be seeing a positive for another day at least, or so I’ve read on google lol. There’s no way to know for sure right now, just wondering if anyone has had similar experiences, and wants to share what their outcome was!

  • I have been triggered by the presence of the phrase "implantation bleeding" in your post. If my reply does not fit the context of your post, please ignore me. Studies have not shown any link between spotting and embryonic implantation. While a small percentage of women do experience bleeding in early pregnancy, if you are spotting around the time you are expecting your normal period, it's far more likely to be a sign that your period is about to start than a sign that you are pregnant. Spotting is a natural, normal, random occurrence which can happen to any woman on any cycle whether or not she is pregnant. The only reliable indicator of early pregnancy is a urine or blood test. Please read this for information on implantation bleeding.

  • implantation bleeding is a myth. human eggs are tiny. even if there was bleeding from it it'd be so small you wouldn't notice it.

    Human Egg Next to a dime

    Tests are accurate 14 days after and definitive 21+ days after.
