Is it implantation bleeding?

by Mandie15, Sep 13, 2009 03:29PM
My last period started August 20th. I have a regular 28 day cycle. I had unprotected sex on September 3. I believe I ovulated September 4 because I had some slight cramping that day. Friday, September 11 I noticed dark brown spotting when I wiped. I was for sure it was implantation bleeding. But it's still coming today and it is heavier. I have to wear a pantie liner. It's still dark brown in color, nothing like a period. I'm not cramping, but my breasts are tender. I'm just wondering why it's lasting so long and why it's gotten heavier today if in fact it is implantation bleeding. Has anyone else had these symptoms and everything turn out fine?

I can't speak from experience. But it sounds like it might be implantation bleeding!

Well, its been about 3 hours and it's not so heavy anymore. It's just barely there when I wipe. So, I also believe that it truly is implantation bleeding. I was scared because I have had a miscarriage in the past. I took an early detection pregnancy test this morning and it was negative, but I believe it was too early. My period is due Thursday, so I'm going to take another one Wednesday and see what happens.

I'm not sure if that's implantation bleeding.
Implantation bleeding isn't very common.
Less than 25% of women experience it.

I didn't experience it with my first pregnancy, but I did with this one.
It was a very light pink and JUST BARELY there.
But from what I hear it can be a little heavier.

Maybe it could be!
Good luck!

It's been a rough few days! Well, I guess it was just regular spotting, which I've never had before, so that's wierd. But anyways, heavy flow today and it looks like a normal period with normal cramping. It is 3 days early, also wierd. But I guess we women are ever changing, so what may be normal one month will be totally different the next and still be normal. Who knows?

Well in my regards, Good Luck, I know that the majority of the time we won't get the answer we are looking for unless it is positive on the stick or through bloodwork, but it happen to me my second pregnancy and my friend and sister experience it too. I really can't see how this happen to only 25% of women when it is so common. Maybe they should research it again and update it. Most cases might not be even metion to researches if you know what I mean. May GOD Bless You, I hope it turns out in your favor.

To: Riot_Queen,
hi my name is trina. this is really weird for me but i am going to ask this question i had a heavy flow of what i thought was a normal menstral cycle for 3days with heavy cramping and had unprotected sex with my partner of 5 mnths, the 4th day i wiped and the blood was gone as if it was never there and the same evening of the 4th day the cycle was there again but only this time its a litte pink with alittle bit of blood in the urine i just would like to know if anyone has had this happen. i thought it was a normal period, but my periods are usually 5 days long with heavy bleeding and cramping for 3days and the rest of the 2 days are easy with red blood. i always feel like a suffed bleeding pig. lol.  if someone has any information at all i would greatly appreiate it . thank you.

sincerely,
trina
