Am I having implantation bleed?

[amylou85]

Hiya guys! Just signed up!

I'll try to summarise. When I came off the pill in August, I had some strange bleeding, as expected. I would:

-light bleed for 7 days, brownish blood, no pain.
-8th day have horrendous period pain and then heavy bleed for 7 more days.
-Then 2 weeks of not bleeding, Then repeat!

It's been like clockwork since August. 14 days of bleeding!
So this month, used my CBFM and DTD at 2 bars and 3 bars. Got to my expected day of light bleeding (Which I worked out using my monitor was the day after I ovulate), and nothing for 5 days. Then yesterday, at 6dpo, I got very light pink creamy discharge. Today it is still creamy but has gone slightly browner. It is like how my light bleeding would start but it has been delayed by 5 days. Could it be implantation bleed? I have also had slight cramping on my lower left side, but that could be wind!
I am due on thursday, so 4 days to wait. I hope I don't carry on bleeding!!! Its very light though, what do you think?

It's got darker and still going tonight, how long can implantation bleeding last?

Could be, or could be the start of your period.
You could test; they have tests now that detect pregnancy before you miss your period, although they're not always accurate.

Sounds like spotting before your period.
