HVK · 12/02/2006 14:59

We are trying for our third child.

Im on day 21 of my cycle today(they are normally 28 days long) although my last cycle was 31 days.

Last night (day20) I started bleeding, not heavy but I still am and first thought it could be implantation bleeding as I think conception happened 5 days ago.....so could it be implantation bleeding...I have doubts as Im not sureit happen this early???Im no expert... or is it something else??? I have never had bleeding this early before in any cycle so something is not right.

Should I go to GP tommorow or leave it..Im not in any great pain just period like pain

thank you very much

@1993net hi you've started an old thread up so they probably won't reply hun...anyway the same randomly happened to me this month then af starred the same day i think it might have been the heat or something! Wait till af usually due and if nothing happens take a test x

Also had lunch earlier and felt nausea right after and threw up

1993net · 27/05/2018 03:52

trying to figure out if this says a period or implantation or bleeding I usually start my period on the 1st it started 8 days early two and a half days only lasted for about two and a half days and now feeling like not enough for laying a tampon it's a little bit pink brown not sure if that's towards an end of a. Or is it implantation plus I had the period 8 days sooner but not sure if it was a period or not could anybody help me and give me any answers please

It can take a while for a cycle to get back to normal after Depo so it doesn't necessarily mean there's anything wrong, just that your body is still finding its rhythm. You might want to consider tracking ovulation with OPKs or by temping/charting so you can pinpoint when you're ovulating and fertile.

I'm 24 I was on the Depo shot for a while got off of the Depo last year and I've been trying to have a baby since I was 23 no success yet do you think that being on that Depo shot could have pushed my chances low since being on Depo Vera?

Thank u

If it's just a one-off I wouldn't panic too much. Sometimes bodies do weird things.

1993net · 23/05/2018 10:24

Does it mean i cant have a child ?

OutofSyncGirl · 23/05/2018 09:25

It can mean that you have a short luteal phase.

1993net · 23/05/2018 09:22

I wanted to know if having bleeding is normal 8 days early ? I always got my period on the 1st of every month but as of today its 8 days early. Can someone let me know if thats normal ?

my last one was about a year and abit ago

dont think its that but has crossed my mind. Never had bleeding inbetween before. this is the first month we have started "trying" and the bleeding comes??? i think its more related to that but I think now its an early period as the bleeding hasnt stopped

another personal question (very sorry), are you up to date with all your smears? my mum wasn't and started bleeding like a period in between periods. she's now waiting results after having loads of different tests done. i hope it's nothing like what my mum's experiencing but there might be another reason for the bleeding, maybe ask the doctor to see whether this could be a possibility?

no, not rough in bedroom dept...doc asked me if i had any bleeing afterwards and i said no..bleeding has come 4/5 days later??

I have been and got a first response preg test which I will do sunday when my period is due.

Keeping my fingers crossed but I dont think I will be, as I'm still bleeding, lightly though.

Got my fingers crossed for you HVK. Definitely still do the PT - you never know

kreamkrackers · 13/02/2006 21:49

could you have been a bit too rough perhaps in the bedroom department? sorry for asking but you never know.

Phoned my doc who said it was likely to be an early period.

Not enough time for it to be implantation (5 days) She certainly didn think it was ectopic or miscarriage as again she felt it was too early.

Oh well back to the drawing board..will still do PT just to put my mind at rest at weekend.

I had spotting when my period was due that tured out to be implantation bleeding, didt get a bfp till two weeks later, (was on the pill and not ttc) but I hope you get the result you are looking for

thank you..just wish I could hear from someone that has had slight bleeding a week before their period was due and resulted in pregnancy!

Waiting is going to be so hard

Hopefully it is an implantation bleed then. Probably best to give it a couple of days and if you still don't feel right get yourself to the GP. Best of luck.

its fresh blood, not brown at all and could easily be mistaken for a normal period although not as heavy

Hi HVK - what is the bleeding like? I had an ectopic and the bleed went on for a long time and was thin, watery, brownish colour. It started around the time my period was due. I am no expert so can't give you advice, only that you should get yourself checked out if you are at all worried.

Got my fingers crossed for you - I know how nerve-wracking the early days can be
