Anyone had any experience with implantation bleeding?

Hi
Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with implantation bleeding?
I know it's not very common but some women do experience it, I've had spotting one yesterday (pink) and once the day before (red/brown) both only a tiny bit when wiping then nothing since, I have irregular periods ( between 25-30) days so periods die anytime from yesterday to in 4 days time, I do normally get one day of spotting before AF but it's normally a lot more than that and only one day with lots of cramps too, I've not really had any cramps 🤷🏻‍♀️
Knowing me AF will start as soon as I've posted this but just wanting some advice if anyone here has had anything similar?
Thanks

Not quite the same, but during both my pregnancies I had a little period for the first 2 months, bang on time when my actual period was due. Both only lasted 2 days and were very light with no cramping. My MW told me not to worry and it was pretty common .

@Redannie118 ah thanks for replying, was it just like a light period? Or less?
Thanks

A light period- enough for me to need a towel, esp on the first day.

I had an implantation bleed with my first babe. It was 5 days before period was due and just some pink blood on the tissue when I wiped. Only the once x

I think it's around 20% of women that experience implantation bleeding. Therefore 80% of bleeding often leads to a period. Each time I've had spotting it's then lead to full blown period 1 or 2 days later. Unfortunately you'll have to wait and see if anymore comes today or tomorrow. If not, you could do a test?

Yes the month I got pregnant with my second DC and was actually trying, I did notice implantation bleeding but it was honestly the tiniest spot of pink :)

Had I not been trying avidly then I wouldn't have even noticed and I do usually get a little bit of spotting a couple of days before my period but this was different - lighter and less periody if that makes sense.

@CloudyVanilla thanks for sharing!
I've just had a little bit more pink when wiping, thinking 3 days is probably too long for IB, if AF doesn't arrive in full swing by Wednesday I'll test, I've ordered one to check with my online shop that comes Wednesday! Gonna hold out till then!

Hi, I've had bleeding with two pg's. Once was around a week before AF - I noticed it twice when wiping - once it was pink, then there were two drops of blood.

Then I had a lot of actual red blood with my second at around 7 weeks and turned out it was something called a subchorionic hemorrhage x

I had what I thought was a period, red blood that needed a pad and lasted a couple of days.. I’m now 23 weeks pregnant x

@Ginini I had similar last cycle (very light spotting which only showed when wiping). It varied in colour from red to pink to brown then back again for 5 days. I took a test on day 4 which showed a line so faint I thought I was imagining it and then again on day 5 but ever so slightly darker line.
Unfortunately later that day AF came and the next day a test was stark white so probably a chemical pregnancy. Fingers crossed you get a strong line and a sticky baby!!

I had IB. For a full 7 days before my period was due so definitely longer than usual. I actually tested 2 days before AF was due whilst still having IB and it was a clear positive. Also it was enough for me to be using pads but the blood was never very dark and no clots so I knew it was that! Best of luck

Currently 3 days late, BFN, Gina give it a few more days (try and hold out) and test again! 🤞🏼
