Can implantation bleeding be heavy?

I'm 43 and TTC (first baby) - this morning i had what i thought might be implantation bleeding (pinkish or brown as it's always described, but then red appeared, more like a regular period, but still lighter than than regular flow. Still able to get by on just panty liners at the moment.  All other signs (ovulation timing, tiredness,etc.) seem to point to pregnancy.  Was wondering if heavier implantation bleeding could be common when you're over 40?  Thanks for any input.

Hi, I'm 18 and I had a weird period (weird for me). It lasted about 2 days. The 1st day for a few hours it was a dark red, then it turned to red, then finally brown. Then nothing came out on the 3rd day till later on throughout the evening but it was light brown spotting. Is that just a period cycle? I'm very confused.

Hi I'm 22 I have been on the minipill femulene for over 3 years now, I am one if 20% of women on it that do not experience any periods whatsoever, I took my minipill 6 hours late after sex the night before. Since then I have experienced what I thought was spotting brown then it turned heavier for 4 days, anyway 5 days after I stopped bleeding I have started bleeding again, the worrying thing for me is I have had my pill late lists of times and as long as I have taken ur I have never bleed the only time is when I run out of pills and didn't get a new prescription until 2 weeks later. Plearr help as ive had cramps and been feeling slightly sick, I have taken 3 pregnancy test but quite close together, I just want to find out if anybody else had experienced anything similar? Thanks!!!

I started spotting- brown then pink yesturday but then it became more like a regular period so far. my doctor did a PT but it was neg, I think maybe i tested too early, i only came off my period 12 days ago and am due back on my period in 9 days.
