Implantation Bleeding




According to my count down to pregnancy.com 



this is when implantation bleeding is most likely to occur:

Day Past Ovulation

6 DPO
Less Common
7 DPO

8 DPO

9 DPO
Most Common
10 DPO

11 DPO

12 DPO

13 DPO

They also say not all women experience implantation bleeding. 
So you could still be pregnant 
even if you do not experience this.
My fertility chart for my 2nd pregnancy,
shows no spotting prior to 
getting a positive pregnancy test.


According to pregnancy.about.com, 
Implantation bleeding is spotting or light bleeding 
that occurs in some pregnant women during viable pregnancies.
Not much research has been done on
why this occurs for some women and not others.
The theory is this occurs 
when the fertilized egg implants.
Sometimes implantation bleeding can be confused 
with the start of menstrual cycles 
or early miscarriage bleeding.
Extremely light bleeding 
could be confused for a menstrual cycle.
Miscarriage or chemical pregnancy bleeding 
may begin as spotting and then 
become heavier bleeding with clots.

The exception to early implantation dips theory I have found is that  some women get early positive pregnancy tests as a result of having a multiples pregnancy, some women gets dips in many of their cycles that do not result in pregnancy and some women like me don't get dips during a c...

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test (Blue Dye)

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test  with Blue Dye (+ / - ) This is what a negative looks like: Side Note: Blue dyes are often said to more frequently give false positives than pink dye. Some online boards that will tweak (alter) a pregnancy test photo to help individuals identify if the test is a faint positive or indeed negative, often will not do blue dyes.
