how long before testing??

[married_newfie_mommy]

I haven't had AF since March 11/05, I have had 2 negative pregnancy tests, a normal thyroid test, and normal hormone testing...now that said, the night before last when I went to the bathroom there was red blood when I wiped, so I thought "good, I am getting AF, now we can start trying to have baby #2". There was red blood there when I wiped twice but nothing after that and nothing since. We weren't actively trying to get pregnant (DR orders..he wanted me to have an ultrasound and see a OB/GYN first..but haven't done either yet), so my question is if this implantation bleeding when would I take a pregnancy test?? And what is a normal amount of blood for implantation bleeding? thank you in advance for answering my questions.

I wish I could help.  I did not have implantation bleeding with my pregnancy.  Good luck and sending baby dust from Alabama...

I did not have implantation bleeding either, but I guess you could take a test in about 1.5 weeks, or 2 weeks would be better if you can stand to wait that long.

I NEVER HAD IMPLANTATION BLEEDING WITH ANY OF MINE BUT GOT A POSITIVE 5 DAYS BEFORE PERIOD WAS DUE WITH MY LAST ONE!

Implantation bleeding would have occured way before now if you last period was in May.  Plus, I think you would have tested positive already.  Also, implantation bleeding is also pink or brown, not red.  It sounds like AF might be on her way.

so I shouldn't buy a pregnancy test? I am so confused, and sick of even thinking about it anymore. I want a baby but we aren't even supposed to be trying until the DR figures out what is going on. BUT guess what? my DR is an a**...i have told him that i want another baby, so when he sent in the request form for the ultrasound he never even marked "urgent" on it..i am sorry but going 5+ months without a period seems "urgent" to me..i have talked to my DR's receptionist and she has said that the only thing i can do is go in and talk to him about it..i have also tried calling the OB/GYN office to see if they have an appointment for me and everytime i call there is no answer...i am starting to lose hope that we will ever be able to have another baby...

I wouldn't but that might be just me.

I had red implantation bleeding the day I tested positive?

I just ran across your post today, and I wanted to point out that just because your last AF was months ago doesn't mean that implantation bleeding would have occured way before now. Implantation bleeding only happens when a fertilized egg implants into the uterine wall. If you have not been ovulating regularly (which without a period for months, it sounds like you aren't), you would not have a reason to have implantation bleeding. You may have ovulated this month, and gotten pregnant. If it were me, I'd spring for the few dollars that a pregnancy test will cost just for the peace of mind...but that's just me.
