Is this implantation bleeding?

I am expecting my period tomorrow (Monday).  This past Fri, I experienced some slight brownish color discharge.  Yesterday, (Sat.), I had even more of it.  Today is kind of pinkish/reddish in color.  My husband and I are really trying hard to conceive.  I used an ovulator predictor, took my temp each morning, and checked my cervical mucus.  I think that I calculated everything right.  This morning, I took a HPT and it came out neg.  I was very disappointed.  I am hoping that what I am experiencing is implantation bleeding...the blood is barely enough to fill a pad in one day...and is light (not heavy like my normal period).  Are HPT accurate at this time...the time that I tested...meaning the day before I am expecting my period?  Tonight, I am not bleeding at all now.  Can someone help???  Thanks!

Not sure if this will help, but with my first child I was nauseated with profuse vomiting the entire pregnancy. (Even at delivery) that was my worst symptom naturally, but the strange thing was I COULD NOT stand the smell of my husband, or to look at him. honestly I would walk into the bedroom see him lying there in bed, and then i would run to the bathroom and vomit, NO JOKE! So u very well maybe prego....Congrats...

I have a question, DH and I had sex throughout ovulation time (at least I think) I have experienced sore breasts for about a week that have since subsided (yesterday) and I have had some nausea pretty much throughout the last week or so, and more frequent headaches along with food cravings. My period isn't due for 2-3 more days and I have started a small amount of brown/pink spotting as well as light cramping. Could this be implantation bleeding or should I just assume it is my period? I am pretty regular and have a 28 day cycle.

I am in the same situation. I've been going through IUI with my husband and I am in the midst of my 2ww and just started having a brownish discharge (period? implantation bleeding?) wish I knew what this was all about. I've taken about 5 HPT (i know too early BUT) they all have a very light pink 2nd line. I was really hopeful this was it :-/

Hope you are doing fine and if you have any insight from your experience over the last three weeks I'd love to hear.

Hi everyone... So me and my husband are trying to get pregnant with a second child. My last period started on oct. 3rd and lasted 5 days. I ovulated around oct. 20 th and we had unprotected sex on the 18 th... 20 th and 21 st... I am due to start my period nov. 2 nd( tomorrow). I've had times during the day where I've felt nauseated and I've had random small headaches. Yesterday morning I woke up and had brownish discharge in my underwear. And then this morning I had very light pinkish brown discharge when I  wiped after using the restroom. Could this be implantation. I really hope I don't start my period tomorrow. Please if you have any advice I would like to hear from you thanks.

I am 23 and have three kids a set of twin girls and a 10 month old. For about the last week or two I have been having really bad hot flash's at night and for the last week i have starting getting nausead at night as well. I am also having a strange period. Since August I have usually started around the 9th of every month and i did in aug and then in sept i started on the 9th and then three weeks later. Now its oct and I started three weeks later again. Thats not normal because I usualy have my period 4 weeks apart from each other. I am on my period now and its different. I am cramping in my lower back and it feels like my uterus is cramping slightly. I also havent changed my pad but 2 times today. I am not bleeding as heavy as I usually do. Does anybody know what is going on?

  Hello,

Ok just a question! I had sex about a week ago. two days after I had sex I started spotting lightly, I decided it was because he was..a bit large. Sorry TMI ladies. Then a few days later I spotted for two days and a bit on the third day. Now its gone and my period isn't for another week, I went to the doctor and they did a pelvic exam and said everything was fine. So now I am confused. I was ovulating my my phone calendar, and I had sex on my fertile days.

I just need a bit of insight on when I can tests.
Dates.
Sex - 10th
Spotting- 11th (Stopped that day)
Spotting 13-16 (Stopped)
Period Due - 29th.

SOoo...help! lol

well thought I was pregnant cuz  I had been spotting light brown for 3 days & thought it was implantation bleeding... my period aint due till 2morrow but got outta the tub to find that my period has started.... guess that means Im not. Which I dont understand cuz Ive never spotted that long before starting a peroid. Usually a light spotting right before, then heavy 3 days, then tappers off till the end of the 7th day. (yes, 7 days) I did miscarry on July 25th...(was 7wks4days)... not sure if that has anything to do w it. Has anyone ever experienced that & still been pregnant? Im so upset, I really thought I was. Tryn not to let it upset me but it gets overwhelming @ times.

HPT do not work for me, I took one the day before I heard from the doctor I was pregnant and I was already 12 wks along!! I also did one with a friend when I was 6 months pregnant and it said negative haha HPT can be extremely unreliable

Hey everybody, I am 21 years of age and I have been having regular periods for tha past 8 months and this month I was supposed to of started on tha 2nd which didn't happen and then on the 7th I started having very light brown spotting(for 4 to 5 days), and this never happens before my period and tha brown spotting was mixed in what seemed to be like very watery cm, I've been gagging alot here lately at things that normally wouldn't bother me at all like cigarette smoke, and not to mention I threw up last week, I do believe it was last week after I ate chicken and ever since then I'm not able to eat chicken cause it makes me wanna get sick, so needless to say I don't even try to eat it anymore,lol..I've been having really bad headaches here lately and mild cramping on and off and still nothing..And tha last day that I was experiencing the spotting it seemed to turn to a light brownish/pinkish looking color..I've been gaining a little weight it seems like or I'm jus feeling like I am and I can see a little pooch at the lower part of my stomach and my dad already asked me if I'm pregnant..Can parents sense that you are before you even know you are?..Anyways, I've also been experiencing lower back pains and can't seem to sleep and when I do go to sleep I wake up within a few hours, I jus don't seem to be able to get comfortable and I don't feel like I've been to sleep at all and rested whenever I do get up and then sometimes, somedays, I can sleep for hours but still don't feel like i've gotten any rest, I feel dazzed and blurry, if that makes sense..lol..And i've had this tugging sensation at the lower part and tha sides of my tummy, and it seems like its getting bigger..and my boobs seems to have darker veins in them and puffy around my aerola and slightly darker in color and my nipples are sensative, and sometimes in tha shower if tha water hits them a certain way it hurts really bad cause it feels like needles or somethin' pokin' 'em..and i seem to have a runny nose constantly here lately and also alot of saliva..but, if you think this is implantation bleeding please let me know and if so when can i test, I didn't wanna test too early cause I know some ppl's hcg levels aren't high enough to detect yet and it takes about 2 or 3 months for them to find out..And oh yeah, did I mention that I'm really gassy which is unnormal for me, I haven't changed my eating habits or anything, somedays I'm jus so nauseated that I can't eat and sometimes I kinda force myself to eat, and I crave things..But anyways, please get back to me and any comments is greatly appreciated:)..
