I am 40 and I think I had implantation bleeding on day 13 or 14 DPO. I haven’t gotten my period yet. I’m afraid to take a pregnancy test bc I always get negatives. I am currently 6 days late on my period. Gonna give it a few more days and take a test if I still haven’t gotten my period. Hoping and praying for a baby. 💕🎉

I started spotting when I would wipe on Saturday and then light bleeding yesterday and it’s a week early from period. No cramps and no normal PMS before symptoms. Except now that I’ve spotted and lightly bled I’m nauseous. Tired. And breast tenderness. This information helped a lot because I didn’t know if it was period or implantation.

@deogratias6337 2 ай бұрын

I'm 8 months postpartum after having my first baby last September. I've been breastfeeding which has been preventing my cycle from returning. So technically the date of my last period would be 12/20/22. But last week and the week before I noticed what seemed to be a return of mucus. I was checking body temp every morning and May 1st is when it rose from average (ovulation). Today (May 8) I've been feeling mild cramping and started spotting. During my first pregnancy I had implantation cramps but no blood. So now im just trying to figure out if this is implantation bleeding, a failed implantation, or the return of my period.

Dr Natalie, my husband and i’s “normal” time for the deed is about once a week, we’ve been trying for baby #2 for a year now with no success. According to my tracking we’ve done it before, during, or after my spike in lh levels. Is once a week enough to truly conceive or should we consider doing it more during my fertile week? I have an apt with my doctor next week and I would love if you could help me know what to ask her in regards to my fertility or any testing you would recommend or any tips in general for my situation. I am 33 years old and had my first at 30. Thank you and I appreciate all your videos! 💕🙏🏼

Is regular implantation cramping without pregnancy normal? I’m TTC for my second and for the past 3 months I’ve had the cramping on one side around day 14 and then cramping on day 22 and then getting my period regularly on day 30. I haven’t had spotting and my next appointment with my doc is after 6 months of trying so I don’t know if the regular day 22 cramping is a reason to call her sooner. My first was a c section which also makes me wonder if it has to do with my uterus having a lot of scar tissue or something

She mentioned some other things that could be causing the mid cycle bleeding at the very end. Such as hormonal imbalances, or fibroids. I would say it’s worth a appointment.

I have an appointment with my obgyn on the 14th of August I already told them I don’t get periods haven’t in months which has made my body relax I would bleed or spot whatever it’s truly called but it doesn’t last more than like 2-3 days and it’s not heavy I barely have clots .
