Sorry, TMI, but I need your help...

Okay, so, I need your help, please.

Since last month we have been purposely "not preventing", though not trying either. And this month was a weird cycle for me, as I seem to have O'd at least a week later than usual (I think -- I don't temp or anything, but based on other signs like sore boobs which I always get in my leuteal phase, etc). So, I'm not even sure of the exact O date but I know it would be a longer cycle.

So, I spotted yesterday with mild cramps and I thought okay, AF is coming and didn't think much of it. A *tiny* spot this morning, and then it seems to have completely disappeared as of now (around 3:30pm). I *think* I may have O'd somewhere between 10-14 days ago (?), but honestly, I don't know.

You don't think it could be implantation spotting, do you? I didn't have that with my DS so I don't know what that is even like, but my spotting (here's the TMI...) was only on the TP not even the underwear so it was pretty light. (Oh gawd, I'm sorry, are you all grossed out ???). I have no other symptoms of anything.

Since my cycle was off this month, do you think the whole spotting thing is just a by-product of it being a weird cycle? My cycles, since they have reutned (when DS was 14 mos -- he's currently 20 mos) have been between 28-35 days, so not any great pattern to discern. If you all think it was implanataion bleeding, when would I even test? I'm sorry, maybe I'm all over-thinking and nervous, but really, I didn't even tell DH b/c, well, he'll have no idea and then just keep asking me about it over and over again making me more nervous about it.

Sorry for the novel. Any thoughts would be MUCH appreciated...

If you have ovulated about 14 days ago, it should show up on a test. I got the first response which is *supposed* to show up sooner. Take a test and see.

It may be implantation bleeding. With my first, I didn't have any. This time, I woke up and went to the bathroom and there was some pink on the TP. I guess it was enough to make me think I had gotten my period because I put in a tampon and took tylenol in preperation fo the onslaught of cramps. So totally forgot about all this as the day progressed and at the end of the day realized I still had the tampon in. When I pulled it out there was no blood. This happened on a Sunday. I took a pregnancy test on Friday and it was negative. So I was still waiting for my period to start.. The following Friday I took another pregnancy test and that one was positive. I definitely think that I had implantation bleeding this time.

Op Here: thanks for the replies. AF showed today, so I guess it was just a weird cycle. Thanks for taking the time to reply and calm me down!
