Implantation bleeding or period? What is going on?

Me and my husband have been trying to conceive for a while now, and we're realizing it's a lot harder than what we thought.
The days we've had sex are...
May 1, 8, 15, 22, 29. &, June 3, 12, 15.

My period was due the 4th or 5th, but it never came.
I had taken a test on the 8th, but it was negative.
On the 17th, I went to the bathroom and thought I may have started my period. It was a dark red/brown color, and there was a little red/brown in my underwear, and a tiny bit of brown when I wiped.

On the 18th, the color turned red and it got a LITTLE heavier, but not much. Blood would come out every few hours, then stop, and happen again, and so on.

On the 19th, same thing as the 18th.

Today, it's back to the brown color again?

I understand the 17th would be two weeks from the 3rd [day me and my husband had sex] so I figured it COULD be implantation bleeding. I'm just really anxious, and now really disappointed.

I know implantation bleeding is rarely heavy, but I have heard before it's possible.

And it's not exactly heavy, it's just heavier than what I've heard implantation bleeding is.

So, has this happened to anyone? Do you think it's implantation bleeding or my period?

And by the way. My period's are ALWAYS right on time, and they're ALWAYS heavy.

Hmmm it could be implantation bleeding.. you never know until you take a blood test so they can see what your HCG levels are.  That's happened to me before (spotting) but it never turned out that I was pregnant. I guess my body is just changing and I've been under a lot of stress. So your best bet is to go to the Drs and take a blood test. =)

It could be implantation bleeding, for your sake i hope it is :) Its also could be spotting which could mean good things aswell, because alot of women spot in early pregnancy. But as far as i know implantation bleeding is a light pinky color thats barely there, only when you wipe, Thats how it was for me anyhow. Good luck to you hun ~BabyDust~
