Implantation bleeding or period? So confused :(

Hi all,

Just want to see if anyone has experienced this and what it can be.

My husband and I started TTC during my fertile week (w/c 29/10). I have always had my periods regularly. I did a pregnancy test on 8 Nov and it was negative, I know I did the test very early so it could be wrong.

That night I had some brown blood on a tissue wipe. The next day I had more blood all day but not as much as a normal period. I am not due my AF until another 8/9 days. According to the fertile window, if we conceived I should have implantation bleeding around 8 Nov.

I've read so much about the difference and I cannot tell if I'm having an early period (which has never happened) or implantation bleeding.

Other symptoms, my breasts have been very sore for a week now. When I'm on my period, they don't get this sore and it's normal just 1 or 2 days. I've had cramps which were light and different from my period cramps but I'm wondering whether they are light if you have an early period. I had a tingling sensation around my nipples yesterday which I've never felt before.

The blood itself is what is confusing me. I've ready that it's not much blood literally drops. I have been getting more than just drops more like a light period but not as much as a normal period. The colour seems a little brighter. Texture is also different from a normal period. Today is day 2 of period/Implantation bleeding.

I'm really confused because I've had regular periods for so many years and this is new but it feels like a light period. Has anyone else had a similar situation?

When I was pregnant I bled on and off from week 0- week 16. Led to many panics about mc but have a healthy DD who is now 5 after those initial 16 weeks of worry!

@mila1988 any news? Did you find out why it was happening?

It was my AF :( same thing happened this month. I think my cycle has all of sudden changed from 32 days to 25 days now which is strange! i'm seeing the doctor today to see why
