How many of you had an IMPLANTATION BLEED when you were pregnant?

Hi all!! I had small amount of implantation bleeding with all 3 of my kids and thought at the time it was a light period (a lucky one) had no clue i was preggy till nx period was due and didnt arrive!! thinking i wud b about 5wks pg and found out i was 8/9!!
It is common and normal!! its just where the embryo (soon to b ur baby) burrows into the womb lining for a safe place to grow!! as it does this a small amount of blood is shed!! normally painless and a pinkish brown in colour!!

Hope this helps and is reassuring!!

All 3 of my pregnancies were healthy and normal, 8lb 5oz, 8lb 3oz and 7lb 14oz.

all the best ladies xxx

I had implantation bleeding and had a normal healthy pregnancy, you'll be fine.

I had implantation spotting at around 7DPO. I thought it was my AF starting again. I couldn't believe it when I found out I was finally pregnant! I'm 12 weeks now

Hi Everyone,

I am 5 weeks pregnant and started to have brown spotting on Tuesday... went in for a EPU and they could see the baby but its difficult to tell what is going on at the moment. Due for another scan next week Friday, but I have now started to bleed. Yesterday it was very light pink and now its medium ... am I miscarrying?

Had implatation bleeds with my first 2 pregnancies I think it was light spotting for one or 2 days at the very most.

just to say that i thought i'd had a period when it was actually an implantation bleed - my periods are usually pretty light. looking back it was more brown (though there was some red in there) and lighter than usual...but at the time i noticed nothing untoward, until I started feeling immensely tired and a bit queasy a week or so later! Now almost 15 weeks and all seems to be fine...good luck x

Don't worry PinkElephant, I'm staying positive, I have a good feeling about my beanie! That said, and I know it is ridiculous but any tug, cramp, itch in the tummy region has me running off for a knicker spot, crazy I know! I'm determined to enjoy the whole experience rather than worry all the time but sometimes it all gets too much and you worry don't you!

With DD2 I thought it was really strange, when I seemed to of come on again after having a period only 2.5 weeks before.

It was exactly the same as my period not lighter and bled for 3 days. For some reason I had that "pregnancy feeling" about a week and half later, I did a test and found out I was PG with dd2 so not all implantation bleeds are lighter than normal periods but weird in timing IYSWIM.

Oh MrMcJr - ignore my last message I thought you were asking for help asap - I did not realise it was the name of another MN user as I didn't read it all!! In my wish to help, I've probably got you panic stricken.....ignore me

Sorry to be the misery guts on here, but you did ask...

I've been ftc for many moons now, and I've seen bits of spotting at various dpo and haven't ever yet been pg (to my knowledge, and I certainly test!). I bet I wouldn't even notice my bits of odd mucus/blood if I didn't scrutinise the toilet paper every time!

I hope I am wrong! Feel free to come and gloat at me in a couple of weeks

MrMcJr - I'm delighted to hear you fab news!!! You see .....I told you about making a GP appointment to discuss fetility problems.....it works every time!!! I'm sure you will be fine and try not to worry too much, as it sound like you're in safe hands with you GP. If you get any cramping go back and see you GP again.....try not to think about it too much, but if it helps to know with my ectopic I had very light brown spotting which started 5days after my period was due, it was very on and off with some mild cramping. The cramping got worse by the time I was 5wks pregnant and I felt like the whole pelvic area ached constantly, which is when I sought advise from the GP who referred me to gynae for a scan and Beta HCG's and then they kept me in to monitor me for 2days. Good luck and keep you chin up

Pleasehelpmeasap - I got my BFP on Friday, I had slight spotting and a slither of lining (I think) on 3dpo then spotting, some pink and some brown until 11dpo when I got another slither, I got my BFP on 12dpo. The GP has some concerns about the spotting and is sending me for a 7 week scan when I get to that stage but hopefully it'll all be ok. There are ectopics and multiples in our family so that was another reason for the early scan. Good luck hon!

I had it with ds1 but not ds2. Even though I knew what it was it was still disconcerting.

I had it with both my pg's. First one I experienced a missed mc at around 6 weeks. The second is now in it's 23rd week and going strong.

I found it very scary both times, but it was darker (brown) blood and alot less than a period, so defo implantation.

Good luck x

Is the spotting still going on?

When is your period due? or date of lmp?

I had an implantation bleed with ds. I actually bled for a few days each month for 3 months and didn't realise I was pregnant, just thought I was having a lighter period due to more exercise, I used tampons and everything (ds was 2nd child so I wasn't a complete novice!). It made sense when I did a test and realised I was pregnant, but I only did the test because I was putting on a bit of weight on my hips despite going to the gym and working like a maniac.

Well, with ds I had a more or less normal period. Ok, it did stop and start a bit, but it was bright red blood and heavy enough to use a tampon.

It was only several days later I suspected I was actually pregnant.

Fingers crossed for you!

well, i hope you get the result you want...

i had a threatened miscarriage at 6 weeks..so not an implantation bleed..but all was well..

I have had a m/c but I can't remember if I had a bleed. I didn't with every baby and I have 3.
