Should I Get My Hopes Up?

First thing this morning I went to the bathroom and noticed some light pink blood when I wiped. I am 7DPO and have been experiencing light cramps on and off for the past couple of days. Since then, there has been no more blood. Could this be a sign of implantation or could it be a sign of early AF? I don't really want to get my hopes up, but it's been on my mind all day. TIA for your opinions :-)

I'm sorry, but no one will know what it is until you get a +HPT or your period.

It could be implantation but, most likely, it is just mid-cycle spotting. You will just have to wait and see.

this. You won't know if its implantation bleeding until you get a bfp.

I try to never get my hopes up. Regardless of the symptoms I try and convince myself it is a BFN and it isnt my month.

That way when AF comes I already expected it and I dont really get disappointed.

I have never been pregnant so never expereicned IB and cant speak to that.

Good luck though, when will you test?

It could be, or it couldn't. Don't get your hopes up. Wait a few days and take a test. That's the only way to know for sure.

I'm trying to convince myself of the same now that I got some feedback from others. I have only been trying for three months now and if not, there is always next month. I have been pregnant before and didn't experience IB then, so was just wondering because I've never experienced mid cycle bleeding. (That pregnancy ended in miscarriage) 

I probably won't test until I get a missed period, because like you said it will be easier to not get my hopes up.

It is hard not to get your hopes up but try and wait and see.

I've had exactly what you described more than once, and I've never gotten a BFP. I don't mean to drag you down, but I wouldn't think too much about the spotting.

It could be a sign of implantation, but you won't know that unless you get a BFP. 

Good luck!

If you're sure of when you ovulated (temping) and you never have a short luteal then honestly if I were you I'd have my hopes up. Unless you recently had sex 'cause that can cause bleeding. I had implantation bleeding at 8 DPO when I was pregnant. I remember posting here, "maybe it's implantation bleeding..." and then sure enough a few days later when I took the test it was a BFP. I hope you get yours!

ETA: obviously everyone else disagrees with me and for good reason. I'm just saying that honestly -- because I had IB before with my only pregnancy -- I'd get my hopes up in your shoes. In fact, I have this irrational belief that I should not get my hopes up TTC this time around until I see IB. But that protects me against disappointment emerging from other phantom symptoms. Of course, the one time I get mid-cycle bleeding and no BFP I will have to readjust my psychology on this one. But for me, I've gotten more IB+BFP (once) than I have mid-cycle bleeding (0 times) so it works....

It could be implantation spotting or it could be just regular old spotting before you get your period. You won't know until you either get a +HPT or your period.  Good luck!

The first thing I thought of when I read this post was that you have a bladder infection. I hope that's not the case, but wouldn't rule it out. GL!
