Is it implantation bleeding or just in between bleeding?

Hi there!

I am 25yrs with one child. I had my last period on April 3rd and my cycle normally lasts 28 -30 days and is very regular. This month I had ovulation pains on April 15th and did the 'deed' unprotected on April 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th and 19th. Late last night, I noticed a bit of brown/pinkish discharge (very minimal amount). This morning, it was a bit more (needed a liner) and dark brown/maroon. I am just concerned b/c my period isn't due until a week from now and I have never had spotting or in-between bleeding ever. I do have slight cramping but nothing bad. I was hoping it might be implantation bleeding but does this seem too heavy to be that? My flow is normally very heavy days 1-3. As  much as I want to  be pregnant, it doesn't sound like it this time around.

Any advice as to what could be causing this?
Thanks!

Hi, I am 32 years old. I am married for around 3.5 years and so we thought of planning for a baby around 4-5 months back. Due to the age, we thought of consulting a gynae. I met her on the 10th day of my MC. She told me to have folic acid tablets and couple of others. I took the medicines for around a week but then while searching over the internet, I found on a web page that one of the other tablets she suggested must be avoided if you are trying to conceive.So I stopped taking them. Later that month, I had my MC on a regular cycle of 25 days with normal flow.
But after that normal MC, I had my AF twice and both started on 21st day of cycle. Moreover, the flow is not normal like before and only lasts for 2-3 days max with dark red/Brown light spotting and then little bit of small clots on day 2 and day 3 again very light. I am very confused since I want to conceive ASAP but not succeeding.

Thanks for reading all through this.

My last period was october 27 and its been about 34 days since. I had a little pink discharge yesterday and brownish discharge early today. My cycles are between 28/30 days? My boobs are tender and that usually happens a week before my cycle. What could this be? Is cycle just changing or could I be pregnant?

Ok so here's my story. I had my last normal period September 27. And today's date is October 30th. On September I was getting ready for bed that night and wiped and ah pink watery discharge. The day before t period. The day of my period I had the pink again in the morning and it went away. At night I had dark brown spotting. Not even enough to fill a panty liner or bleed through it. My periods always start off very heavy and stay heavy for 9 days. Yesterday (one day late of my period) I spotted bright red. And have been having bright red for two days now. It isn't heavy. It doesn't spot on my panty liner. It like stays up there until I wipe with toilet paper. And then it shows up on the toloet paper. Idk what's going on. I took a test and it was negative and Im 3 days late. It just isn't my normal period. It doesn't smell, doesn't feel like my period. It is so light. I've been having tiny cramps. Nothing like my period cramps where I have to sit down. There cramps like oh something is tingling a little. Then it's gone and comes back on and off.

We went for tests we are both 100% healthy. We went on clomid for 4 months, then 2 months of then fertomed Hcg injections ect. Nothing worked. Then we dicided November 2012 we had enough and stopped. Sins them my period got into a normal 28-30 day cycle, before it was 36-40 day cycle. Then begining july I took clomid again end july beginning August I had my period heavy 1st day 2nd day less 3rd comming to an end and then 2 more days spotting. Then on the 24th August I start gettin a pinkish brown discharge very little some cramping then on th 26 it stops. No from Sunday 2 September I have been so tired, I have to take afternoon naps. Weird for me yes. Also if I get up to quickly I only see stars and it goes black. Luckily I haven't passed out or anything. Can I be pregnant?
