Can implantation bleeding be heavy?

[lisalisa64]

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.

By Marie , I had all the symptoms, high basal temperature. Last month I had my regular period, starting on the 7th of March, this month which is April I started to spot 4 days earlier barely spotted for 2 days then the 3rd day I begin to flow a little heavier with a little blood clot. I just had a tubal reversal on February the 9th. I  am confused, I think I go the old ways just ignore if it happens it happens.the only thing is I wonder if anyone had that same symptoms.

I am 24 and I have been spotting, today will be day 8. I am on BC and did not miss a pill (the only other time I have spotted between periods). My period is not due for another 4-5 days making it about 2 weeks before my expected period that I began spotting. It started pinkish brown and slight then to bright red and a little heavier, then dark red, then back to pinkish brown, and now almost black but always with an almost discharge-like consistency. I have taken several negative HPTs (I work at a health clinic, so why not?) but I think it's still too early to test as I'm not due for my period for 4-5 more days. Never been pregnant, not trying to conceive but would secretly be elated with a positive test.

Do not let anyone tell you that you can't carry a baby to term. You carried your son didn't you? Doctors told me I couldnt carry a baby to term. I lost my first, then gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Then proceeded to have a miscarriage of twins at 5 months and another miscarriage at 9 weeks. Following that I carried 4 children to term. I dont know about anyone else but I feel that my faith brought me through all this so I could help others in this situation to have hope. I believe whatever is meant to happen will. Good luck!!

Could it be implantaion bleeding? Am i pregnant? And when is the right time for me to take a test?

As far as I've read, it usually occurs 6 -12 days after ovulation and before your period.  Unfortunately, I am having a somewhat similar "confusion" issue with implantation bleeding, and this is the first time I've tried to get pregnant, but above is supposedly the "norm".  It should be light brown or light pink and should only last a few hours or upto a few days.  I hope that helps (:

My husband and I are trying to get pregnant for the first time.  I am 29 years old and have had a consistent 32 day cycle for the last 3 months.  Yesterday, I would have been 8 days past ovulation and in the morning I had a light brown discharge when I wiped.  I figured it was implantation bleeding and got very excited, but as the day progressed, the discharge became darker and began to resemble a dark red blood.  This morning I woke up and I am still bleeding.  I am not bleeding like a period, but I am bleeding enough that I am having to use a panty liner.  I took a pregnancy test today, even though I am not expecting my period for another 5 days, and it came back negative.  Any thoughts are much appreciated.
