Implantation bleeding isn't actually that common, and those who do get it would say it's only usually light spotting and more brown in colour. What your friend describes doesn't sound like implantation bleeding. Light bleeding and spotting is common in pregnancy, but i know sometimes some women say they had quite heavy bleeding and even thought they were miscarrying but turned out to be fine.
Are you sure your'e not just on your period? Maybe it's came early or something? When was your last period?

I would see your doc. Could be that you are pregnant...but the doctor will be able to take a blood test for that. Really if you were you should just be spotting and not really heavy or clots. Best to get it checked with a doc though to be on the safe side. Still strange that you are bleeding this irregularly so best to get it checked either way.

so you missed you last period altogether, yeah? and only had spotting? Then this month you are due in 2 days for your period and you started out with spotting and now it dark red with clots? Maybe a bit like a really heavy period?
Have you take a pregnancy test at all since you missed your period last month? I would maybe do that just to see what it says, make sure to use first morning urine. But I agree with the others, you should go see a doctor to see why this is happening...could be that if the test turns out negative then this might just be your period, and it's early. But a doctor will help determine what is wrong.

As the others said, implantation bleeding is NOT heavy, nor does it have clots. It's also uncommon, and around 30% of women ever experience it. I would say she had decidual bleeding, or a tear rather than implantation bleeding. You have to think about the process. It's a very tiny egg that implants into the uterine lining. It's not going to cause massive bleeding because it's not big enough.

If you're having heavy bleeding with clots, I'd say it's more than likely your period being weird and off rather than anything else.

usually implantation bleeding is brown or a darker darker red only becasue its old blood. i would say if your blleding alot and think you may be pg a visit to a doc even maybe a free clinic would be worth it better to be safe than sorry. i funy enough have been reading about this as well and have found its not too common you may feel small cramps and possible spot..hope it helps and you get your insurance quick!! good luck
