is this implantation?

[lucynicholson]

hey everyone, i’ve just come on here because i’m really confused. i started what i think is my ‘period’ but im unsure as i got my period 5 days early and it lasted about 2 shy of 3 days. it was heavy but ive seen quite a few people say they have gotten heavy implantation bleeding. ive got bad cramps and ive been gagging this past day. my cycle varies from 23-26 days. do you think this is implantation or just a period?

I couldn’t say for sure obviously but that doesn’t sound like implantation bleeding to me, that is typically light, more like spotting than an actual bleed, it wouldn’t be soaking a pad/tampon for example.

well i wouldn't say heavy, i'd have to change my pad every 6-8 hours or so, im so unsure

With implantation bleeding there really wouldn’t (in theory) come a time when you HAD to change your pad as it was too full if you know what I mean. If it was enough to soak a pad then it’s unlikely to be implantation bleeding x

Agree with PP, I'm sorry. I've been there just wishing it wasn't my period so I totally understand. I would say maybe test when your period would have been due just to double check but sounds like a short cycle, I'm sorry

Sounds like your periods came early.
