implantation bleeding or early period?!

[Nickeleem]

My boyfriend and I have been trying to concieve, and I have always been regular, Then on 7/31, which was 5 days before my regular scheduled period, I "started" which is what I thought, but it was only when I wiped, and VERY light pink. Then on the 1st same thing. Then on 8/2 it was dark brown/maroonish color, when I wiped and decided to use a "backup", but there was very little on the tampon, then it finished. I have had sore/tender breasts, WEIGHT gain, my stomach feels different and very bloated and gassy feeling, VERY tired and have had headaches We want to be pregnant, but I don't want to get my hopes up, what should I do?! Any thoughts

Hi!
The most accurate pregnancy test is the Clear Blue First Response. Your bleeding certainly could be an implantation bleed.  Take a test and find out!
Good luck!

Have you tried taking a pregnancy test yet?  I suggest you take one soon, purchase one that can detect as early as 4 days before you miss you period.  Also, if you are trying to get pregnant, do not use a tampon.  Instead, a pad.  Tampon can be harmful.  It could be either way, implantation bleeding or your period.  You won't know unless you take the test.

I am very regular with 28 day cycle, ovulation around day 14 to 16. We have been trying to conceived for 9 months and have had the sperm tested and blood work done for me and everything is fine.  Yesterday was 6dpo and when i went to the washroom i noticed a semi round brownish spot in my underwear and when i wiped i had just a wee bit of brownish color on my paper.  AF is only due Monday August 24th so i'm 7 days way.  Could this be implantation bleeding?  I went for a transvaginal ultrasound Thursday August 13th....would i have discharge from that 4 days later???  This has never happen to me before and it was only that one spot the size of a dime and a little smear that's it.  I haven't had anything more.  What do you think????
