Worried
Hello
I need some answers... I am 34 years old and have just taken a pregnancy test last night and it said positive right away. I had noticed breast swelling and tenderness, for a good week now. During the week (7 days) of March 2rd, I had my last period. It was longer and different that my usual menstruations - it was light to very light or spotting for the entire duration. On my 25th day of my cycle, I noticed a faint red spot so I assumed I was going to start my periods - but nothing appeared, The next day and yesterday, there was only some pale brown spotting and today, again with the light pink (only when wiping). I am very worried! It is the weekend, and my doctor is not available until Monday morning. I am also feeling some cramping in my lower abdomen and back. My questions are the following: Could the bleeding me implantation bleeding? Can this light spotting be a sign of something else? Could I be pregnant from the last ovulation date (mid february?)...Any help is appreciated...

i thank that you are prego and it just implantation bleeding i had it with my son and i dint know till the next mt that i was prego cause i thou it was my . mine was havey at lest but at frist it was just spotting No periods or lighter bleeding. The most obvious sign that lets a woman know (or suspect) she is pregnant is missing her menstrual period. However, not all women experience 'no bleeding at all', and this can confuse them about whether they are pregnant, or if their pregnancy will continue.
A few women will experience what is called an 'implantation bleed'. This is where a light bleed occurs as the growing baby burrows into the lining of their mother's uterus (usually about 12 days after the egg has been fertilised, or 'conceived'). An implantation bleed will typically occur just before (or around the time) the next period would have been due. However, it is usually not as heavy, or as long as a normal period. Caregivers will usually try and find out if a woman's last 'period' WAS normal, to avoid calculating the baby's due date from an implantation bleed, which would miscalculate the baby's actual due date at about 3 to 4 weeks later.
Occasionally, a woman will continue to have a small, red or pinkish vaginal loss for a day or so around the time that their period would have been due (for example at around 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks of the pregnancy). This is more common during early pregnancy, but can persist into later pregnancy as well.
Some women will experience bright spotting (fresh bleeding), or brown spotting (bleeding that happened a day or so ago), at some stage during their pregnancy. This may appear as a heavy bleed (like a period), a 'light period', or as something that she notices when wiping herself after going to the toilet. About 50% of women who experience bleeding during the first 12 weeks of their pregnancy will continue to experience a normal pregnancy. However, up to 50% of women will experience a miscarriage at some point after the bleeding starts. Early pregnancy bleeding is usually investigated by an ultrasound.
NOTE: Any bleeding during pregnancy should be communicated to your caregiver.

When was your LMP?
If I read right, you are saying it was March 2-7th. If your cycles are regular that would make your egg day round about the 16th. From what I have read on the internet, implantation can happen up to 12 days after fetilisation but is usually 4 -6 days. So this is possible. I have never had it though so don't know what it looks like or how much you get. Also it's about time for you AF so this would be the perfect time to test. Mmmm I would say that you are pregnant :) I'm sure my friend said she had some cramping with the implantation bleeding she had which is why people can mistake it for a period.
I definitely don't think you are pregnant from the period before in Feb.
When I had my miscarriage I had bright red blood.
I'll keep my fingers crossed xxx I don't think you should worry. But soon, some others will post because lots of women on here have had it and know exactly what it's like.
