Could I be pregnant? Is this implantation bleeding?

[Jrie1]

Hi, I am on here because Im really confused with what is happening with my body right now. My LMP was 06/18/2010. I had intercourse with my fiance 6/25 7/1-7/6 and my I have a normal 33-35 day cycle. I have been experiencing very mild lower abdominal cramps for the past week. My pd is due tomorrow 7/22 but on monday afternoon 7/19 I starting spotting this light red/pinkish color (only enough to use a panty liner). It stopped by noon today 7/21. My normal period comes early morning (wake up time 6AM) , and is heavy from start to finish. I went to the doctor and got a blood pregnancy test on monday 7/19 which came out negative. I wanted to know if this could be implantation bleeding. And if so, am I right when I say the pregnancy test (blood) wouldn't come out positive until 3 days after implantation takes place or 5 days with a urine test due to the hcg hormone not being released until the implantation has completly taken place. If anyone has any input please dont hesitate on replying. Thanks a bunch!

Sorry I miss read your post! Sorry!

If your next test comes out Neg, like the above post said see your Doc and ask for a HCG test :)

If you spotted a red/pinkish color a few days before your period was due, then it is possible that it could be implantation bleeding.  It could also just be an early, light period.  Implantation bleeding does not happen to everyone, and there is no proof that it really exists (although, personally, I did have it).  With the information that you provided regarding your LMP and your normal cycle length, it does sound like you DEFINITELY had sex during your fertile time, so you certainly increased your chances of conception.  

If you only started spotting on Monday and had the pregnancy test on Monday, it is certainly possible that it would have shown up negative.  If you were just experiencing implantation, your levels may have been low enough that a qualitative hcg test would show negative.  Sometimes their cutoff is like 15 mIU.  

My advice would be to take a test today or tomorrow with urine that you have held for at least 4 hours.  If it is still negative but you still haven't technically gotten your period, then I would ask the doctor to do a repeat blood hcg test.

Best of luck to you in the outcome you desire.

I haven't had any clots. I didn't get my period at all. All that I have seen was very light spotting from monday afternoon until wednesday morning. I only had enough spots to use 1 panty liner a day. My pd was due today. And I have nothing. The spotting that I had has completly stopped.
