Can implantation bleeding be heavy?

I'm 43 and TTC (first baby) - this morning i had what i thought might be implantation bleeding (pinkish or brown as it's always described, but then red appeared, more like a regular period, but still lighter than than regular flow. Still able to get by on just panty liners at the moment.  All other signs (ovulation timing, tiredness,etc.) seem to point to pregnancy.  Was wondering if heavier implantation bleeding could be common when you're over 40?  Thanks for any input.

I believe I am pregnant because I am 10 days late for my period which is normally around the 26th but no later. I have been gaining weight, eating more than usual, and my breasts have been getting bigger and sore yesterday which was the 5th when I went to the bathroom i was bleeding but it was a light pink, but today it is heavier than yesterday but not like my normal period. I need someones input

Had unprotected sex with hubby on the 10th.  After 4 days started feeling burning cramps in stomach. Still cramping as I speak.  Husband didn't *** in me.  Could I still be pregnant?  Period is due in a week.

Hi,  I do have a question. I havent started my period for this month (december) and usually I have it between the sixth and fifteenth. yesterday (18th) I got period like cramps and lower back ache which for me is normal for a period. BUT only thing that threw me off was the bleeding was very light and like a light princess color pink. Today (19th) blood was more like a period for a little bit then  later on went back to light. So being this is tecnically the first day should I wait a few days or test or what? Im pretty in tuned with my periods and they have been the same for 24 yrs which I am 24 yrs old now. Its just this month seems different. I did do the baby dance 2 weeks ago so if anyone can help and give advice I would appreciate that. Am I pregnant, is it too early to test???
