If you are 12 days before AF is due then this could be implantation bleeding.

is this normal? how long should bleading last. and when can i test

i don't know ow lond, i have never had implantation bleeding, but have read lots of people do.

Implantation bleeding usually occurs about the same time you would be expecting AF.  If AF is still 12 days away, then I wouldn't think you are experiencing implantation bleeding.  I suppose anything is possible though.  Spotting can be caused for so many reasons. I started having premenstrual spotting when we were TTC and it was horrible.  Worse, was that I could not get my GYN to take me seriously.  I still don't know why it was happening.  Anyway, wait until you are late for AF to take a HPT.  If you wait that long you are more likely to get an accurate result.  BTW, if the spotting continues each month then you may want to see your GYN just to make sure there's not any problems.

12 days before AF is due, which is only 2 dpo seems very soon for implantation. The earliest I ever had it was 3-4 dpo. You might be experiencing ovulation spotting, as some women do get it time to time. If it was indeed implantation bleeding, you should get a BFP real soon!

I started spotting a week and about two weeks before my period was due and now I am 31 wks pregnant  They call it implantation bleeding. If that's what it is, it should only last a few days or more. I took my test a few days before i was suppose to get my period and it was possitive. I hope that helps.

Anybody any ideas??

Hello,
I'm new here and hoping that someone can give me some advice that I can't seem to find when I search online.  Here's my story:  I’m 23 years old.  I started to take BCP when I was 16 years old.  I’ve been off BCP since February 26, 2008.
I always had a 28 days cycle before I was on the BCP. I was on the BCP for 8 years and always had a cycle of 28 days except for one cycle it was 29 days.  I always started spotting 1-2 days before I started my periods.  I started charting my cycle since January 2008 and this is what it looks like.

This is my 4th cycle charting.

Cycle #1: 28 days, annov. Start charting mid-cycle.  Last month on the BCP.
Cycle #2: 28 days, annov.
Cycle #3: 29 days, Ovulated on CD16, 13 day LP
Cycle #4: 38 days, Ovulated on CD38, and in progress . . . .

My problem is that I started spotting most of the time after ovulation. And when I ovulate and I start my periods it is a length of 13 days I spot 7 days on my cycle #3 and this cycle so for I spotted 4 days.
What can I do to stop the spotting are do you know what it my cause my spotting.

Thanks for your help

Melanie

Girl, I don't know I am having the same problem. I Started spotting a week or two before I started a normal flowing period. It went on as normal and then a week after my period went off I began spotting again. I have been spotting for about 2 weeks now. I don't know whats wrong. I have a 3 year old and a 16 month old and I am praying I am not pregnant again. Did you ever find out what was wrong with your cycle? I am not on any birth control but me and my partner use condoms most of the time except for maybe 1 or two times months ago. Please help, somebody!
