Early period?

by girlkitty79, Mar 17, 2008 01:39PM
Hi, husband and I are ttc.  My cycles are always 33 days, never late, never early; yet I am experiencing what seems to be my period as of yesterday, which makes it eight days early.  I track it using fertility software, so I know it's not a miscalculation. It's moderate flow.  I haven't been on oral contrac. for over a year.  Could it be implantation bleeding or is my period just early?  Thanks!

Hello,

Time will tell.  See if you have a period when expected.  If not, take a home pregnancy test.  If negative, repeat it in one week.

Best regards,

Dr. Downing
