to ask if this could have been implantation bleeding?

[Sampanther]

My periods restarted after reducing breastfeeding toddler in October. I had a regular one in November and December. In Jan I had lots of cramping as usual but it was shorter (3-4 days instead of 7) and lighter (much) than usual. I am yet to have a scan but this is my third baby and tonight I'm sure I've felt movement and therefore may be further along than I thought. Could Jan have been implantation bleeding or is it much less/lighter/shorter than that?

Yes it could. The only way to date your pregnancy is to have a scan, so I would book a private one if you are desperate to know.

Congratulations btw!

Have you had a BFP?

It could be any of those times as periods are well known to change as you get older and while your hormones are sorting themselves out.
Congratulations

I had exactly the same when pregnant with DS2. Very light bleeding that only lasted 2-3 days but I was convinced it was my period as they hadn't returned to normal after breastfeeding. I only tested when my friend persuaded me!
Agree, scan needed if you're not sure of dates. Congratulations!

Have you got a scan booked ?

Have got the booking appointment this week so probably the scan in the next week or two. Am showing quite a bit though which got me wondering whether it could've been implantation bleeding.

could have been but you can show earlier on if your muscles hadn't recovered from the last time x

I'm confused as you don't say you are pregnant in your OP
