Is it implantion bleeding or period?

[p_hibbard1983]

My period was due on Nov. 3,08 and nothing happen but a couple weeks ago I had like cramps like I was getting my period. So Yesterday on Nov.7th,08,  I had light bleeding when I went to Walmart and I wipe couple of times and it was gone. On Nov.8th,08 I woke up and had blood on my underwear. It doesn't really fill up the pads but of course I change them couple times a day. I haven't taken any test at all. But should I?  Please let me know.

i thought she would be passed that.

her period was due noveber 3rd but she did not get that so her last period before that would have been around oct 6 (if its 28 days) conception would have occured Monday, October 20, 2008, and  implantation bleeding would have occured about 7 days later bringing her out at oct 27. not november 7th or November 2nd still not the 7th

Implantation bleeding can occur between 6 and 12 days after conception. So, it could be implantation bleeding. Even though it is occuring after your expected period, you still fall into that time table. I would take a test to know for sure.

a period is a period and not the same thing as implantion bleeding. i cant tell you what you had because im not you. you know what your period looks like.

my period is 5 days long. heavy at the start and winds down towards the end. TOTALLY different from implantation bleeding.

implantation bleeing....

"Implantation bleeding, also called implantation spotting, does not look like a regular menstrual period. Implantation bleeding is scanty and usually pink or brownish discharge."

"Implantation bleeding is a tiny bit of spotting at the time that the embryo implants into the uterus. It usually occurs approximately 7 days after conception, which is typically about 7 days before you expect to get your next period.

Implantation bleeding is not a reliable sign of pregnancy. Most women who are pregnant never have implantation bleeding. Furthermore, many women who have what appears to be implantation bleeding are not pregnant. "


so you would NOT have had implantation bleeding after your period. it ocurrs around 7 days BEFORE your expected period...not after. sounds like its not implanation bleeding however it might be spotting around your period. it can happen if your pregnant. take a test!!
