Implantation bleeding? Am I pregnant?

I was off my pill for a few weeks because I actually thought I was pregnant (turned out i wasn't.) My period came a week early (it came on the 30th of November instead of December 6) And I had unprotected sex quite a few times after my period. If I am pregnant, according to calculators on the internet, conception was around the 14th of December. So if implantation bleeding accurs 6-12 days after conception, is this bleeding I have implantation bleeding? It was really really light the first two days, today is the 4th or 5th day, and yesterday was the heaviest it was. It was brown/pinkish the first few days, yesterday it was bright red and today is pinkish red. I did have a bit of cramping/pain at the beginning. My boobs usually hurt when I'm on my period, but they don't hurt yet.. My next period isn't due until the 3rd of january. I also feel pretty tired and rather sick..

Usually it takes 3 months after birth control to regular AF until then you can have some strange ones. Implant bleeding which most people don't have which I did have is very light spotting VERY light and pink. It does not last more than 2 days. I'd say it's your period

your best bet would be to wait until your next expected period. its possible you could be pregnant, but you really wont know until you take a HPT. if you miss your next period, take a test right after you realize it hasnt come. best time is first thing in the morning. best of luck!

I agree. Implantation bleeding is normally very light lasting maybe a day or two max. Its also uncommon, with only around 30% of women ever experiencing it. Is IS possible to experience vaginal bleeding though which can be similar to a period. Take a pregnancy test if you suspect pregnancy.

Hmm I dont think that implantation bleeding is usually that long or bright red. Usually you hear about just some spotting and light pink or brown blood. Take a test in a few days. This might just be your body trying to get back on track since you have recently got off the pill. Good luck to you!

Hi, that sounds more like a period to me. Implantation bleeding is light and pinkish and it only last about 2 days(someone correct me if I'm wrong). I'd say wait until your expected date of the 3rd to see if you get your period. If you don't take a test when you're at least 4-5 days late. Good luck:-) Keep us updated.
