Has anyone ever had light brown spotting for 3-4 days a week before period due and were pregnant!???

I know it cant be implantation bleeding I have because it lasted for 3-4 days, but I am hoping so hard... Been ttc for 4 months now.

thanks

actually it can be implanation bleeding.  I bled for 4 days actually bright red and on the 5th day it was gone and I tested positive.  My last pregnancy, the brown spotting started at 5 weeks and didnt end until 10 weeks.  I went on to have a healthy pregnancy.

I stopped taking BC 5 months ago.  I think I am getting AF as I write this  :o(  I am really upset too because I just found out about this girl I know... she just had her third! abortion!!!!!!  makes me soooooooo sad.

I've had similar spotting for the past couple of cycles.  Two cycles ago I had spotting for 5 days before my period started, and this month, I had cramps and off and on spotting for a full week.  Unfortunately, both times AF came.  I was on birth control as well, for about 10 years, but I've been off of it for about 9 months now...when did you stop BC?

I had that same brown spotting before and the docotr told me that it was old blood and when my period did start, I had to go the hospital for the pain. I am hoping that it is not anything negative...

Thank you for your response. I have cramping... and this happened to me not last month but the month before and then i got a bad period on the day it was due.

I have never been pregnant before and I was on the pill for almost 12 years with maybe two different breaks of 3 months or so :-o

Can I have a fertility problem... I know it takes time to concieve so I ask that really only because of this brown spotting???
