implantation, or ovulation bleeding? help! I'm new here..

well, I don't know if I've had ovulation bleeding, or implantation bleeding! I know that sounds crazy, but I have no cycle at all due to PCOS. It all started on Thursday, I started spotting brown/orange/light pink discharge - I thought I was coming on it because that's how my periods (when I get them) always start! however, it never got heavier! so Friday came, I woke up with the same very light spotting, then at around midday, I passed a lot of egg white, very stretchy mucus! (sorry, TMI!). It had a smear of red blood through it :/ but since then, I've gone back to this very light spotting!  in fact, it's pretty much stopped. It's only when I wipe, no way heavy enough to need a pad. I don't know if I should test or not, I don't want to see another bfn :(

oh, I've also had very sharp pains, on and off! they're not like period pains, more in my ovaries than anywhere else! 

thank you in advance for any replies. Thanks

I have seen a few threads like this and in the majority of causes it seems to be an odd AF cycle and not pregnancy. I'm sorry to be negative!

I just wanted to sympathise though. I have heart heartburn and cramping which I have only previously had when pg. I had a few negative tests on ICs and then I had two days of very light spotting, two days of dark AF bleeding (though very little), then a day of spotting, which is very unlike my normal cycle. I have heartburn still and today my jeans were tight at the very top. I'm driving myself nuts imagining the possibilities but the reality is that it's probably all in my head!
So good luck and you have my sympathies Smile

I just did a pregnancy test, negative. I'm not surprised, as my period isn't due for a while yet! However, I'm frustrated as I just want to know what this is :( how long after implantation bleeding, do you get a positive pregnancy test? X

I think I have read that it takes at least a few days for HCG levels to build up, which is what a pg test measures.
