Ok, this is totally freaky. As soon as I decided to try to stop obsessing over the possibility of being pregnant, I get another symptom that I just CANNOT ignore.
I mean what are the odds of this timing? Just this morning I wrote in my journal that I am going to stop spending so very much time obsessing about whether or not I am pregnant and dissecting every little symptom repeatedly.
I had decided that I was going to allow myself one hour per day to obsess in any way I wanted. I could search the net for confirmation of my imaginary symptoms or I could talk to my other online friends who were trying to conceive about their imaginary symptoms. I could obsess over my chart or just dream about the babies I would love to have.
And I was doing just great since I made that decision. I went about my day, getting things done, working, studying, running errands and feeling quite chuffed and productive. And then what happens?
Well, I innocently go to the bathroom and look down and lo and behold, there is a brown spot in my undies!!! What the…!!! I absolutely never ever spot during periods. NEVER!
Except for once. One and only one time this every happened before – and THAT was when I was pregnant! ACK! How can I not obsess and hope that this is really it? I mean how can I deny this irrefutable sign?
It is not a subjective sign – like wondering if my boobs really hurt or not (which they totally do by the way). But this is a brown spot which I saw with my own two eyes. I am sooooooooo hoping this is implantation spotting.
If fertilisation takes place, the egg travels down the fallopian tube and burrows into the uterine lining. Sometimes this “burrowing” can cause implantation spotting or bleeding. It is usually a pink or brownish discharge. Last time I was pregnant, it was pink. The spotting this time is brown. And the bleeding is usually quite scanty.
And of course spotting that occurs just a few days before your period could be the early signals of your period arriving, although I have heard of many women have a ‘light’ unusual period which actually turned out to be implantation bleeding occuring around the same time as a period. If it occurs at least a week before the period then it is very likely to be implantation bleeding. And I am either 6 or 8 dpo today!! Can you tell how much I am trying to hide my excitement about this?
Of course if you usually spot in the middle of your luteal phase then it might not be a sign of implantation spotting or it might still be but in that case, you might be having alot of early miscarriages. Something to get checked out. Could be an antibody or autoimmune issue where your body is rejecting the fetus.
Of course I never spot, so am going to go hail my forum friends and see what they think about my new sign right now!
