Well this is like the third question I am posting. My other two NO ONE answered! I'm just looking for some answers. Okay so where can I start... my cycle is not a normal 28 day or even 30 day thing. It comes every month but it doesnt have a set time span. Doesnt matter how long the month (28 days 30 or 31) it always comes between the 1st- 3rd of the month. So I have no idea when I even ovulate. This month it came between the 2nd and the 3rd. today was day 18 of my cycle and when I woke up this morning I had a light pink cm discharge. Any ideas of what causes this? I'm not sure if it would be to early for it to be implantation bleeding. I had very light cramping. Not bad just barely noticable. I just want some ideas of what else it could be other then implantation bleeding, I doubt a uti because i have no trouble urinating or any pain. My husband and I have been TTC since early december so I dont want to get my hopes up because every time i do I end up sitting on the bathroom floor crying with a npt. You would think I know this stuff being I already had one baby! But he snuck right up on me and I had no signs or symptoms I was even pregnant! And how soon, if it is implantation bleeding, can you take a test ? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Your very mild 'cramping' could be you ovulating. I get very slight cramping one side of my lower tummy and when I brought it up with my dr, she advised that some people can feel when they ovulate and even feel which side they ovulate from.
So if that is the case - go jump that hubby of yours :)
Just a thought! all the best

Thats what I thought too (deep intercourse thing) But my husband and I havent had sex in a few days so I ruled that out. I never have spotting through my cycle either, hence why I'm confused.

To my first response, no pain with it at all. I had a little bit of cramping the night before but it was hardly noticable. Kind of like your sitting there and your like hmm Im cramping. Nothing like OMG!

Implantation bleeding doesn't occur during ovulation, it occurs after the egg is fertilized around wk 4.  If you only had pink spotting this one time, I wouldn't worry to much about it.  The cervix is very vascular,  If you have deep intercourse, or a BM after sex, it can cause spotting.  If it is a regular occurrence each month, check with your doctor.  Depending on your age, it could be a hormone surge midcyle.

It could be implantation bleeding or because you have irregular cycles it could be breakthrough bleeding as well...I would wait at least 2 weeks to take a test but you may be able to tell sooner as everyone's horomone levels will vary. With my children mine spiked almost immediately. With my youngest child I was only 5 weeks along when I found out I was bleeding and that was exactly 2 weeks after I had a little bit of pinkish spotting again barely noticeable like yours. Is there any pain associated with it? Also I am assuming you are not on any birth control so I doubt it's any type of breakthrough bleeding. (Sorry I just reread your post and noticed that you were trying to get pregnant). I hope for the best for you!! Take care!
