Is this implantation or my period?????????

by lhfoo, Jun 21, 2006 12:00AM
My AF is due on Friday. Yesterday morning I had some really light spotting (only when I wipe)and cramping and thought AF was about to start early. By 6pm yesterday nothing only cramping. This morning the light spotting (only when I wipe)has started again but I am still cramping. It is not even red it is pink. I did bd on my fertile days Jun 6,7,8. Last AF was May 27 and I do have a 28 day cycle. Not too sure what is going on? Any thoughts?

i've never had implantation bleeding so don't know much about it, but from what i've read from other people i do believe it can be or it could just be start of your period and it's getting a slow start (sometimes our af's can be wacky), but the only way to really tell is to take an hpt - it could still be early - especially if this is implantation bleeding so you may want to wait a few more days and see what happens - if period doesn't fully start in a few more days then definitely more probable that was implantation bleeding. i know it's hard all this waiting and not knowing, but we're all here going through it with you. again, i'd say give it a few more days and if still no af - go out and buy that test!! good luck and keep me posted.

I had implantation spotting 4 days before my AFwas due with a negative HPT. I thought I had just started. I just happen to test on my AF due date and got a BFP! Just might be!! Good Luck!

I had cramping all day last Fri and on Mon got a BFP! so if Fri was implantation (as im sure it was) then give it 3 days and test!!  Good luck to you!!!

sounds just like implantation to me!  You should be able to have BFP on Friday morning.

Can someone tell me more about this? I have read where women have regular cycles or what seems regular and they are pregnant?!?!

Implantation bleeding is actually pretty rare but regardless, if you're in fact experiencing iimplantation bleeding, it usually takes about 48 hours from implantation for enough hcg to build up to be detected on a sensative hpt. If your "implantation" bleeding started yesterday, I would give it until thursday or friday to test using fmu. Good luck.

Ive been using OPK ttc and got a positive LH surge and did what i had to. I got my period 4 days early which is unusual for me and it is a bit lighter than usual also.But not extremely light or anything. This is the 3rd day with it now and its now very light. I tested the day before AF and it was negative. I am having nausea and smells of some things make me nauseaus as well.I also have had cramping everyday on and off since ovulation... I dont know if this is actually AF or implantation or something else...Anyone had this experience?

i am about a year late with my question in this forum, but, if anyone is out there, i'd love some advice.  my period is due today.  i starting spotting and cramping 2 days ago (12dpo).  usually i spot in the morning and my period comes in the afternoon.  never two days of spotting.  could implantation bleeding be this late?  could it last two days?  would the cramping continue or should it be finished by now?  am i just being naive and overly hopeful?
