Does anyone have any experience of implantation bleeding?

I have been reading lots and lots about it, and although some women say they had it for a few days, a couple of websites say that it's 1-2 days and that if it's any longer that there's probably a problem?
I'm not sure if what I have is IB, but today is the 4th day of it. It's too light to really even use a pad, and has been changing in colour. I know it's not af, as mine are extremely recognisable by the severe cramps, and very heavy flow.
I think I may be pregnant, and would like to know of anyone else's experience/knowledge of IB.
Thanks in advance.

I would recommend taking a test! It does sound like it could be an implantation bleed, as it doesn't sound at all similar to your usual flow.

Do you have any other symptoms? Is your AF due around now?

Sounds like IB. I have heavy periods and when I was pregnant I had this about a week before AF was due. I thought it was a period, but then thought it odd as it was too light then stopped.

Thank you for replies. Going outta my mind googling!!!!
Af is a bit hit and miss, but definitely not due just yet, it's never been on a 28 day cycle. Had 'accident' with dp on day 16 of cycle. It's now day 29. Bleeding started monday (although a couple of spots saturday), and still going. Done a couple of tests, but bfns. But I was 5 weeks before I tested positive last time.
It would be mad if I am pg, as we weren't trying, and dp didn't want another, and due to stressful situation (not with dp, just in my life in general),we have not been particularly 'active' as it were. I will be over the moon if I am,and dp will be okay even though it'd be unplanned. How long after ib stops is good to test again? Different websites say different things from 1 day to 5 days. How long before any of you got bfp's??

Have had couple of other symptoms Stasi. Had sore tingly boobs for couple of days, and they've been fuller than usual. Also had dark nipples, and a big blue vein appeared on one of my boobs. I had an 'almost passing out moment, and have had a couple of bouts of severe tiredness.
I just can't figure out if I'm putting the pieces together wrong, and if it's just me being more aware of my body because I may be looking for things?
But, the bleeding is definitely not af, and I can't think of anything else it could possibly be.

Think I got a positive about a week/ week and a half later if that helps

Jenn1982 · 18/11/2011 09:33

Thank you, that is very helpful to know. Although a little frustrating coz I'm so bloody impatient! It'll be 2 weeks since the accident tomorrow. I was hoping I may get an accurate result then, but not expecting one Hmm
