I will try to hold off. I wanted so badly to stop at Walmart today and get one, but I didn't. I dont have any more spotting today and no more cramping either. I really hope this means I am pg. I guess well see. I will let you know when I test. Thanks again for the info.

Well, the general rule about HPTs is that the longer you wait the more likely you are to get an accurate result.  But, if you are really having implantation bleeding then you may already be producing enough hCG to be detected.  I think you are better off waiting until Friday or Saturday, but I know I wouldn't be able to! :)  Just keep us updated. Remember, if oyu get a BFN, it may just be too early.  Good luck and lots of baby dust to you!

It is 11dpo. Opps! The bleeding is very light. But I have a little cramping. So who knows. My temp is still up but I am trying not to go by that. Congrats on your BFP!! Hopefully I will get mine. Should I wait till Friday to test or could I test now. Friday would be the actual day of af if it comes.

Are you on CD 11 or 11 DPO?  If you are on CD 11 and have some very light bleeding I would be more inclined to think it's related to O.  But if you are 11 DPO then the timing may be right for implantation bleeding.  I'm 7.5 weeks and I got some spotting at 12 DPO.  It's happened several times now, actually.  I'm not sure if it's implantation or not, but the way that it is different from AF is that it is VERY light.  I do not even need a panty liner.  Most women do not get bleeding during pregnancy though.  Unfortunately, you are going to have to POAS or just wait for AF to show.  I hope you get your BFP!

Implantation bleeding is vaginal discharge which usually contains a small amount of pinkish or brownish blood. It can happen at the time the fertilized egg implants in the uterus, on average between 6 to 12 days past ovulation.
Implantation bleeding should not be accompanied by cramping, backache or increased bleeding. Since you did experience cramping, it's probably because your period is about due. If it turns out that you are pregnant, then you need to mention the cramping to your doctor so he can run tests on you for complications.
