CD 22 and Light Brown "blood"? - Trying to Conceive (TTC) Message Board

skeetersquirt · 06-25-2005, 06:17 PM

I have NEVER had anything like this happen before in my entire life. I am on CD 22, I am not supposed to start AF until the 1st of July and I have been feeling like I am going to start for over a week now. I went to the bathroom about 2 hours ago, and when I wiped (not to be at ALL graphic) there was a "discoloration" on the toilet tissue. Brownish in color, but faint. I could definately tell there was something there. I thought that it was blood, but when I start it is normally light, but bright red in color.

I have checked numerous times since then and nothing. What could this be? Could I have started AF this early? Does TTC mess up your cycles? I would think that if it was AF it would keep coming instead of just stopping?

Now I am scared that something is wrong.

I've actually experienced the same problem before it could be ovulation bleeding which I have experienced. Some women according to their monthly cycles ovulate early or late and that could be ovul. bleeding. But keep in mind it may possibly be implantation bleeding since you were TTC. I would wait till you supposedly ? start date and if you do not start take an ept test!
Just don't freak out that's the worse you can do. I've been TTC to conceive for 8 yrs things like this happen to some of us. Sometimes doctors can't even give you an answer. Let me know if I can help any further!! Good luck with your TTC journey!! God bless!

That is what worries me. I am 27 years old and I have never had ovulation bleeding. I ovulated between the 14th and 16th of June. I am not testing for ovulation, but I always have EWCM and a cramping pain when I ovulate.

I woke up this morning just KNOWING AF would be here and she is not. Nothing when I went to the bathroom. Although I am still having slight cramps.

i am having a similar issue. i had dark brown discharge on cd24 and i wasnt supposed to start until the 2nd of july. i thought it could have been ovulation, but it is still going on (from dark brown to brownish pink) this is the 9th day that this has occurred, it isnt even enough for me to wear a pad. my last cycle went 50 days, and it was a very very light period too (only lasted 3-4 days, plus i had 2 days of bleeding when i ovulated)
good luck to you, and lots of baby dust

So you are still having this happen? I was doing some research on the internet and I saw that 1 in 3 women will experience implantation bleeding. Some women will have it for days, some minutes.

I have not had this happen since yesterday. Only a little "light brownish" on the toilet tissue. I keep going back to check like a mad women, but still nothing?? This stuff is so confusing sometimes.

Has anyone ever had it one time and then it was gone.

Had we not been TTC, I would have thought that my AF was coming of I had a problem. There was definately something there, but light.
