Implantation Bleeding?

[Sande84]

Has anyone ever found out they were pregnant after having implantation bleeding around day 22 of their menstrual cycle that seemed like a light flow for about 2 days? This is my case.

My period has never been early like this before. It's possibly 10 days early. My cycle is very regular + or - a couple days, and last month it was 31 days long. I keep hearing that implantation bleeding should be just pinkish spotting. I am definitely not spotting, but my periods are usually heavy and terribly painful like labor pains or something. I know when they are coming three days in advance.

I have had sore breasts for a few weeks now (I think I'm just going through another growth spurt at 25). When I woke up yesterday morning, I noticed that I had an almost unnoticeable discomfort in my lower abdomen that I just figured was an overly full bladder. When I went to the toilet to pee, down came the blood with it. That's when I realized that the slight discomfort was the familiar cramping. But it was way to early and did not become painful later on. Today, day 23 of my cycle, I still have a light flow (which is getting lighter) and no pain.

Just to add, my last period began on Dec. 20th and I was expecting my next to begin around Jan. 20th give or take a few days.

Could this be implantation bleeding or have my hormones gone wack?

When i got pregnant this time (after a m/c in june), i had brown bleeding for two days on the day my period should have been due. The dr said it could be implantation bleeding or just old blood expelling itself. He said implantation bleeding can occur from 6 to 14 days after conception but usually 8-10 days  after conception.

Not sure in your case if it is implantation bleeding or your period but do a HPT to get an idea. My positive hpt showed up at 9 dpo.

Good luck

It's hard to say. I have had implantation bleeding with my last baby. This pg I found out I was pg 9 days before my period was due with a ept hpt test. Have you taken a hpt? Take one and see what it says. Your cycle could be off but is that common for you? Mine is only off when I"m pg. Good luck and let me know what happens....
