Is it implantation bleeding or just in between bleeding?

[Kiki02]

Hi there!

I am 25yrs with one child. I had my last period on April 3rd and my cycle normally lasts 28 -30 days and is very regular. This month I had ovulation pains on April 15th and did the 'deed' unprotected on April 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th and 19th. Late last night, I noticed a bit of brown/pinkish discharge (very minimal amount). This morning, it was a bit more (needed a liner) and dark brown/maroon. I am just concerned b/c my period isn't due until a week from now and I have never had spotting or in-between bleeding ever. I do have slight cramping but nothing bad. I was hoping it might be implantation bleeding but does this seem too heavy to be that? My flow is normally very heavy days 1-3. As  much as I want to  be pregnant, it doesn't sound like it this time around.

Any advice as to what could be causing this?
Thanks!

sometimes implantation bleeding can look like a period.. My friend thought she had her period for 2 days and when it stopped and never came back, she took a test and found out she was pg...Dont give up hope!!

Good luck!

I had fairly heavy implantation bleeding with this pg.  It wasn't heavy enough for a regular pad, but I definitely need a pantyliner.  This is my 2nd pg, with my 1st ending in m/c.  I didn't have implantation bleeding with that pg but did with this one.  My implantation bleeding was red, pink, and brown.

I had implantation that sounded like that 3 times. Once I remember I spotted w/o cramps for 2 days, which was 3-4 dpo. I had a BFP 9 dpo.

The 2nd implantation I experienced I thought was my period. It came a week early, was heavy and very crampy. The whole AF works. Lasted 5 days total. I got a BFP 9 days after the bleeding stopped.

The 3rd, and last implantation was also very crampy. The spotting would come and go, all shades of blood. I think I bled 2 days, spotted 3 other days. I got a BFP on the last day of the spotting.

Try testing tomorrow or sunday. you should get a BFP soon if it is the implantation bleeding.

Everyone's implantation bleeding's different. Some say spot only 1-2 days max w/o cramping. Mine bled like a period.

Good luck. Keep us updated

Thanks Ladies! I'll keep you posted.

It could be implantation bleeding. I did not believe in that until monday or tuesday I started having a little bleeding. Light pink with some cramping. Tested on Thursday and had a positive hpt. So you never know. Good Luck!

Congrats April! Best of Luck

[april73]

Thank you so much. I am still in shock. I dont think it has really hit me that I am pg. I have my first dr appt. next Friday, so maybe it will sink in then. Let us know when you get your BFP!

I also am new to the site. Forgive me I am not good with the abbr. I have been regular all my life to the day! I was suppose to start my period on April 4th, and It was spotting.. didn't think to much of it other thatn on my honey moon April 1st we had sex of coarse! and my period was the strangest one i've ever had. It was lite for like 3 days.. meaning spotting, then 2 days of light bleeding then spotting for 3 more days, then two days in a row i put a tampon in, went to my sons game, came home.. blah blah... before bed went to change and clean up. This was like 5 hours and nothing on my tampon, so i thought.. oh i'm done, next day around 11 i'm baking and a slight air pocket and wet.. bled thru my pants bright bright red.. then nothing again all day, then the next morning same thing happend while making breakfast and nothing since. So I bled like brownish then two days of bright red, the kind of blood you cut yourself..not period blood.???? this all started on the 4th and ended the 14th. Now to day is the 21st and i'm having cramping and i'm bloated and cry at everything! Tested tonight and its negative.. am i crazy? could i be pg?

Familybugs, Just wondering when was your last normal period and how long are your cycles normally. Also, did you recently stop the pill or any type of birth control? I think there is always a possibility of pregnancy if you have unprotected sex, it just depends if it was during your fertile time. If you are pregnant it could be that need to retest in a few days, try using the first urine of the day or at least waiting several hours before using the bathroom, (to help get a good specimen). Stress could also be a culprit. The bleeding you are having does sound abnormal, if it persists and pregnant test still negative, I would consider calling the doctor. Keep us updated.

Thanks 2songbirds for sharing your episodes of implantation. I know it is different for everyone. I hear so many different stories about implantation versus period bleeding.
On April 18 I started (what I am calling AF until proven otherwise) spotting variations of pink/maroon/brown. It was very light (nothing like my usual period, no cramps either), and by April 20 it was just faint brown when I wipe. HPT has been negative as of April 20. Not sure if I should test again in a few days, we will see. The only reason I even consider retesting is because of my exhaustion, excessive hunger, and my husband keeps noting my mood. These are never an issue during my AF normally, but I know the body can change. I know no one can tell me what is going on, just looking for an outlet.

I had a normal period March 6-12. I have never in my life taken birth control. I have never had a m/c. This past year I have had cyst on my ovaries which develop every month, then go away after my mense. I always cramp during ovulation aswell. yesterday and today i have been cramping like crazy along with wet discharge. I guess i'm ovulating now which would be correct, by why the 10 days of abnormal bleeding? I do go to the doctor on monday. i will let you know.. thanks for listening.

[2songbirds]

I don't know if you'll see this, as it's been a couple days since your last post. Did you retest? It sounded like it could've been implantation bleeding.

I'm still waiting for my AF to come. It's been 8 weeks today since my dnc. I had a teensie weensie bit of spotting last week with some cramps. I thought it was coming, but nothing. Now that's got me wondering if it too was implantation. I'm cramping today. I took an internet cheapie early this morning, 4amish. There's some pink color to the evaporation line, so I'll retest again tomorrow or next. I'm going to try to resist testing later on this afternoon.

Good luck. I hope you got the result you were hoping for. Keep us updated. I'll keep an eye out for you.

Im new to this whole internet question thing but I have something thats driving me nuts. My Husband and I have been trying to get preg. and this month I thought for sure that I was. I have had headaches and have been sick to my stomic but after eating I was fine. But I started having a small amout of bleeding a few days ago. It started out pink and only when I wipped and now its dark brown and still only when I wipe. THe thing is its lasted for about 4 days now maybe 5 and I didn't know if that was normal for implantation bleeding. Oh and the other thing is I always have BAD CRAMPS with my cycle and this time I have had none. Can anyone HELP PLEASE!!!!!

[gloworm1]

Hi DocBMadden.  I stumbled on this thread as I am in your same situiation.  I am TTC and I too have symtoms but more importantly I have been spotting since this monday so going on 4 days.  It started out pink and now is more brown.  I am having lower abdominal slight cramping as well.  I never spot between periods nor do I ever have cramps. I usually am like clock work. So I am starting to worry.  I bought a home pregnancy test and will take tomorrow morning as the test recommends. I will post tomorrow and let you know.  I'm trying to stay positive as I have read that this type of spotting does occur during implantation.  Sorry not much help but lets keep our fingers crossed.

[DocBMadden]

Well I hope that everything goes well when you take the test. I am in my first year of med school and I work at a hospital so I had my blood drawn today at the lab and had a friend run a HCG Blood test for me. The results aren't back yet but I'm hoping to hear from her soon. I have been bleeding sence Monday as well. But its been so lite and so abnormal but today it started to get a little heavy so Im thinking that its just my period acting funny to us TTC. So I'm try not to get my hopes up about this Blood test just incase. I guess we will just have to keep trying. Thats really all we can do. I hope everything works out tomorrow and please Keep me updated I would love to know how it turns out.

Hello, I am new to this I am experiencing a very odd thing to me.  My husband and I have been trying to have a baby since November so recently I started using ovulation test sticks, which on April 14th showed I had my LH surge so I continued to have sex for the next 4 days straight. Recently I have been feeling very tired and nausia all the time.  This morning I fely wetness all the sudden and went to the bathroom and found a large drop of bright red blood, now it hasnt happened since and just pink when I wipe.  I am curious to know if this could be implantion bleeding or not.

[gloworm1]

Hi Everyone. I Took a HPT this morning and it was negative.  Then this afternoon I started.  Good luck to you and I will keep trying.

Take Care

[CYW20]

Okay well first off I'm 20 yrs of age. I'm a Child and Youth worker and I have learned about alot in pregnancy in school, with friends, onine reading etc etc and providing care for young teenagers whom are pregnant. Anywho, I am sorta way too informed on this-shoulda been a doc maybe eh? lol..Anyways my question is, I had my last period march 27 -April 5th. I was due to have my next period on the 24th of april. I was caught up with diffeent hings that I hadn't noticed I was missing my period. Anywho, on thursday I noticed and was like uh oh etc etc etc...on thursday I start having little uncomfortable feelings in my lower abdomen...more like a ticklish sensation. For the past week I have been extrememly tired, nauseated, dizzy etc...Now, I've seen a doctor yesterday and they have given me a pee test and it was negative. She is sending me for a blood test cuz most times it won't show on apee test this early for some women. Well my main question here is, I start friday April 28th went to go pee and had wipped myself and it was brown. Thinking it was probably my period...I put a pad on and nothing, wipe myself and there's a little bit of pinkish/brown/redish. I am still having uncomfortable feelings and it doesn't feel nor look like my period at all(I am a VERY heavy bleeder) could this be implantation bleeding? or just a normal period?

[Mshopeful]

I'm asking this question myself.  I'm sure, like me you have been trying to find out info about this crazy bleeding going on that you suddenly never had. Before I found this form I thought I was the only one, well until I told my mom.  The books I looked at only had one or two sentences about the subject.  Closing with: "we don't know why this happens."  That is not good enough for me.  My mom at 20 had this going on with her. She lived on a base and the Naval doctor told her it was stress.  A month went by and cat food made her sick one day, she went back he did the test and she was over a month pregnant with me.  Now I'm asking her all these very specific questions and she says "That was 36 years ago I don't know how many days I did this or that, I just know I did." I guess at any age a person may have a month of this and learn it may be a sign of pregnancy and find then, there is not much info out there for us that have this going on.  Our doctors say wait and test.  I still have a few days to wait to know for sure, if I'm neg. I'll try next month for a Feb. baby. :)

[Big Fi]

Hi

My situation is almost sme as yours.

Have either of you had BFP yet???

[2songbirds]

It took a couple minutes to find the post your were talking about from above. I replied to that one as well. The spotting I had was impl bleeding, and i did get bfp's last week, but it ended w/ yet another m/c. Ugh, at least now I can get back on track w/my AFs

[Vilmithien]

I finished my period two weeks ago. Last night I had the slighest ever so small pink stain on mt toilet paper.
I am wondering if this could be implantation .
I also have had some slight cramps too. My periods are normally regular but I'm worried it could just be early. I guess I don't want to get my hopes up.
Any advice would be appreciated.
