This isn't one of those threads where I am trying to believe my period is an implantation bleed - I know it's my period - so please don't shout at me - but I am interested generally. So those of you who bled then got bfp, and those of you who had implantation bleed - how long did it last for?

Hi,

I have had very light spotting since last Friday. Thought my AF was arriving early as wasn't due on until the Wednesday. However the spotting keeps stopping and starting. I did a test on Monday afternoon and then Tuesday morning both were negative. Do you reckon it could be implantation or a very weird period. On my period I only usually bleed for 3/4 days and never spot like this. The colour is keeps changing from a bit red, pink and even brown. What do you girls reckon?

5 days of light brown spotting. It started on CD8. It's getting lighter (BBT is still high) but I wonder if this spotting might be due to low progesterone?

So I have irregular periods and ever since I've been with my boyfriend for a year I've never had a regular period till recently but it came a few days late and has been light on/off bleeding for a few days, the first day it started out brown and then it turned a pinkish red the rest of the time. With my normal periods they become unbearable and cause the bathroom to be my best friend, but I was okay this time around, but my allergies started to act up out of no where, my nose hurts, and my head hurts occasionally when I get up from laying down, I've never been pregnant before but I've been trying for one, if anyone has had something like this happen can you please tell me, I just want to know I'm not crazy. Thank you.

Well after i was wk early ive had nothing really but bad back ache, pelvic ache, headaches and those little lumps /like goosebumps around my nipples. Took 3 extremely cheap tests which were negative. So really dont know i think im going to have to wait to see if i have another period.

gossipgirl28 · 23/02/2019 03:53

The month I got pregnant was a weird one.
I know I ovulated on cd25 as I was tracking my temp. I then got what I thought was my period at 8dpo. It was like a normal period for 4/5 days. I took a test on 14dpo as I was due to have my tubes tested with dye a couple of days later. It was a BFP.

I'm now 24 weeks! Xoxo

Bbrbgirl · 10/12/2018 20:14

Ok so I had my period the 4th of November and it ended on the 7th of November I have irregular periods so it’s not a month to month and it stay on for like 3days. I have unprotected intercourse on the 19th of November and a week later I started having swollen breast and my nipples was kinda sore and my nipples got hard even when I wasn’t cold or anything. I start spotting and cramping on the 2nd of December and it was on and off light and I only really seen the spotting when I wiped. Now I’m experiencing nausea at night kinda hard for me to sleep a sometimes. I took a pregnancy test like a day after I stopped spotting and than I took one today and they both said negative. Can someone help!!

Hi sorry to open up an old thread. I really need help here. I thought my periods were about to start. I came off the pill in August. And beginning of Septmeber had my period as normal. Now after 3 weeks I thought I starte my periods again but this time my cramps were very mild compared to my usual menstrual cramps theyr severe abdominal cramps. I stared getting mild cramps on Monday when I went to the loo and wiped I saw bronwish discharge then I use a pad. Later that night my period colour changed to black (it was groooss) the perish was very stretchy and very dark black. The next day (Tuesday) the colour of the period changed to brown then light pink / red. Then Wednesday I had a dark red blood I thought to my self I'm on my periods. But after a bit of research on google It said blac/brown discharge could indicate implantation bleeding. Last week I did got it was negative I did one today it was also negative. Im also getting throbbing pain in my right side breast on/off. And abdominal cramps. Cn anyone help me here guys . :( and sorry for opening up a lm old thread. I'm just so confused. Not been to a nurse yet

Singlemommy3 · 21/09/2018 02:59

I'm in a confused situation. I was ovulating on August 29 and had unprotected sex. He "pulled out" but not sure if he got out fast enough. Lol. I started out spotting on the 13 of September. It got heavier as the day went but only for the day and it wasn't as heavy or dark as my normal period but it was enough to change 2 tampons. Then on the 14th it went to pink spotting. Got heavier only during that night but not heavy enough to fill a pad. I spotted the 15th as well. Then nothing. Could this have been implantation bleeding??

SamLillie83 · 15/09/2018 22:44

Hi, @Katagirl3000. Your message is encouraging! Did you end up being pregnant? I share your experience of never even getting a faint positive. Hubby and I have been TTC for about 2.5 years, although I must say we've probably missed a few windows due to travel and life getting in the way. My last cycle was completely off, spotted very very faintly from Monday to Thursday (literally 1 spot a day) then Friday was like the flood gates were lifted *TMI!! literally seeing bright red blood throughout with very minimal cramping and then on Sunday I constantly experienced clots around the size of a dime, Sunday next to nothing, and then nothing on Monday, come Tuesday I started spotting again, and only stopped yesterday. I really don't see the point in testing but I do feel that a couple of things are off. Ahh the joys of AF (not)... Sending baby dust your way.

katagirl3000 · 05/07/2018 05:55

Wow, this thread is 10 years old! But I'll add my experience anyway. I've been having many pregnancy symptoms: vomitting, nausea, running to the bathroom every half hour, crazy heightened sense of smell.....but no part of me thought it was pregnancy. I just thought I had the stomach flu because I haven't been able to get pregnant for 7 years. Well the other day, I saw very light spotting when I wiped myself. I then thought....could this be implantation bleeding. So the next day, I took a pregnancy test and wow, it was positive. I haven't seen a positive test in over 7 years. I'm a little scared of the light spotting (which has been going on for 2.5 days), to turn into a period. But so far, it hasn't. Your stories have given me hope. I will retake the test tomorrow. P.s. I haven't been able to keep any food down all week. I've lost 12 lbs in 8 days. This is the weirdest experience ever. I just hope it ends with me having a baby!

cj84 · 26/06/2017 21:26

I know this is an old post but i scrolled through so many of these when i was looking for answers so i thought i would share my experience as you only really know for sure that its implantation spotting after you get your bfp but it might be helpful for someone else on what to be aware of. My last period began on May 26th, that was my first break through bleed from coming off the pill so not technically a period but still. I had sex on the 11th and 13th of the month, i always had 30-32 day cycles before the pill so i just guessed it would still be similar. I started spotting about 6 days ago, mabye last Wednesday or Thursday. I have never had implantation spotting with either of my sons but this was very strange, it stayed for 5 days and was so different to a period, its how i knew i had conceived before my bfp. Mine was very light basically only when i wiped, never turned red or pink was brown and never got any heavier then it went away itself. I had cramps one day it was really bad. I got a very faint positive last Friday and pregnant 2-3 weeks on a digital today. Theres a search on google i cant remember what its called but if you put in all your info it tells you the day implantation would occur for you based on cycle length etc and mine was spot on to the day that it started so might be worth a try. The biggest difference apart from the colour for me was the flow it never get any heavier like a period does so anyway hope this helps somebody :)

Lolzaa97 · 01/02/2017 11:25

Hi, I've been really confused these past few days, my period was due on the 19th and on the 29th I had light bleeding, but I wiped and then nothing else came for a few hours and this has continued for four days now. The blood has been pink, red and brownish. My periods are normally really heavy. I did a pt two days ago and it came back negative, me and my partner have been trying for a baby, but now I'm starting to get disheartened 😔 as far as I'm concerned I haven't had a period last month. Should pi test again in a few days? What does everyone think is going on? Could this just be a really light period? 😔

Jenandjay2010 · 08/07/2015 10:36

I've had miscarriage March 22ND about 4 weeks. Had sharp pain left below belly button about 2 1/2 week ago and now been having thick brown bleeding not heavy for about 6-7 days. Don't know what's going on is it late period implantation what?? With my period I'm normally heavy and in agony this is mild and light ( about 10 pence worth each day on pad and some when I wipe) no other symptoms normally have sore boob's with period. Belly a bit tender to touch but docs seen that and was fine about it saying was hormones. Last took test 23 rd june I think. Sharp pain was 26th and 28th . Started whatever this bleed is on the 1st July later on. Please help!!!

sheena76 · 11/11/2014 11:50

Hi can anyone help me please ?I had a miscarriage 4 weeks ago then ovulated 2 weeks after and a week after I ovulated a had slight bleedinf which is not enough to fill a pad ?I been experiencing lightheadedness ,frequent urination and vivid dreams ,could I be pregnant ?xxx

middles809 · 10/11/2014 07:19

How long are your cycles normally? To be honest I think it's unlikely to be implantation bleeding as you usually ovulate around 14 days before AF is due (obviously that's dependent on the length of your cycle).

I could be wrong. The best thing to do is just see what happens over the next day or two.

guinness18 · 09/11/2014 21:18

I'm just hoping to hear your experiences, especially those who have had red implantation bleeding or other bleeding early in their pregnancies! Smile
On 28th October the condom split, hence no real protection.. I was due to come on my period on 2nd November but it was a no show.
I've had a few pregnancy symptoms, as well as just feeling pregnant which I've never had before! Today I started bleeding, it is red (brown at first) and more than spotting but no where near as much as I usually get even on the first day of my period.
I don't know if it's a late, light period or heavy implantation bleeding.
Would appreciate any stories or advice you have to offer! Please help!
Ps sorry for long post xx

louisesh · 06/01/2009 12:47

HI yes have tested up to today all BFN [obviously!!!] aware may be a bit early kind of convincing myself this is going to be AF now.

Its just soo frustrating not knowing!!!!

sandcastles · 06/01/2009 12:46

Nothing with either pregnancy.

HeinzSight · 06/01/2009 12:43

With this pregnancy I had 4 days implantation spotting, first day was red, then the other three were brown, wasn't even enough to need a panty liner

Have you tested louisesh? Although it may still be a bit early.

I tested on first day of (what I now know was) implantation bleeding, got BFN, thought it was AF, tested again four days later and got BFP

louisesh · 06/01/2009 12:35

Hi ALL did your implantation bleeding consist of any fresh blood loss? I had a MMC in oct 08 then 1 long AF in Nov , then 1 normal AF on 17th Dec .Think i ovulated around 27th Dec BD 25th and 27th Dec then 3 days ago had intermittent loss of pink and brown discharge.That stopped yesterday then a fresh blood discharge enough to mark a pantyliner today!!!

Orginally thought was implantation bleed but now not sure if AF? Af due around the 12th of jan.

Any ideas?
