Is this implatation spotting of AF

ANGELWHITTEN · #1 Apr 2, 2008, 11:05 AM

I am TTC and for the past week or so I have been having cramps off and on, mild lower back aches, a white creamy discharge, and today I have noticed a light brownish discharge. I am 13 DPO and AF is due in 1 or 2 days from now. HPT I took this morning was negative. Could this be implatation bleeding or is it just my AF playing tricks on me? I do not normally have these type of symptoms before my AF. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanx

What is "AF" and "TTC" referring to?

AF is Aunt Flo(monthly period) and TTC is trying to conceive

A home pregnancy test should be taken a week (or longer) after you have missed your period to be accurate. Therefore taking it a day or 2 before you have even missed your period will not give an accurate result. Light brown discharge is probably the beginning of a lighter period. In a day or 2 I suspect it will start looking like "normal period blood." If your regular period does not come within the week, I would suggest taking another HPT. But only after you have missed your period. Always follow-up with your OB/GYN.
