Could it be Implantation bleeding

[lelrx]

Hello!
I’m after some advice as i’m really confused, I think I may be experiencing implantation bleeding
I came on my period on around the 25th April, it usually lasts 4/5 days
I came off and had sex about 2 days after,
On the 2nd May I was at work and all of a sudden felt really faint and had to stop what I was doing because I thought I was going to pass out, this eased off after around half an hour I had a yoghurt cause I just thought it was cause my blood sugars had dropped or something. A few days passed and nothing then on Friday 11th I started to bleed, had a headache, I was tired, lower back and tummy ache (only dull) was going to the toilet frequently number 1 and 2 and then became constipated and I know it sounds odd but I said to my fiancé I just know i’m Pregnant. I don’t usually have any period cramps or back ache or anything only sore breasts around a week before i’m Due on . it’s the 3rd day bleeding and now i’m starting to doubt myself as I feel like it’s just a period, I wouldn’t say it was heavy buts it’s enough and it’s very frequent. Now if I am it would mean I conceived literally as soon as I come off, is that possible? As far as I have read online your IB comes around 10 days after you conceived, which would be about right if i’ve Worked it out correctly. I don’t have any children so I’m worried that if it’s not that it could be something else. I have done the cheap tests and nothing comes up but I guess it’s way to early to detect if I am or not, I also did the clear blue (6 days before missed period tests) which came up VERY faint that I am pregnant on both, which I also don’t know if that’s something to go by, i don’t know how long this bleeding will continue for, has anybody else experienced this and could give me some advice, I keep getting very stressed and i’m very hormonal and inpatient with my partner so anything would help
Thank you in advance x

Have u got a picture of the tests? I'm 13 weeks and thought I was having a period however turned out to be implantation bleeding stopped after around 3 days which I thought was weird and got a bfp. X

The problem is I've taken it earlier than the 6 days if that makes sense so it's ridiculously faint but we can definitely see it, I've only just joined mumsnet and it won't allow me to post the picture 😩

Oh right I see. Try again with first morning urine the line might get darker if not tomorrow then definitely within a few days, good luck

Thank you!
At what point did you get IB, also was it more than just spotting? X

My implantation bleeding looked like the start of a period. I didn’t have it with my previous pregnancies so I did just think I was starting my period. It didn’t last very long though, it was just a bit of pink/brown spotting. Implantation is just spotting, not heavy period style bleeding.

If the tests are giving off faint positives then it’s possible but you will have to wait till close to your expected period and take another test then.

I don't track my ovulation or anything like that so I've no idea what day it was etc if that makes sense all I know is I was due to come on or there abouts my cycles are all over place and the bleeding started then when period was around due and stopped after 3ish days x

And yes more than spotting like a light period that's why I thought it was the start of my period as that's how they usually start was quite brown aswell at some points sorry for tmi x

Just thought i best add the blue dye clearblue tests are notorious for false positives.

Oh really, is there any others that you would recommend, I think it's way too early to tell, I'm just really confused as to why I'm having another period a week after coming off, It's never usually irregular x

First response pink dye.

Not sure about the bleeding im afraid.

Thank you, I did try and find one of those but there wasn't any 😩 anybody know how good the Asda digital ones are at detecting early on x

I had implantation bleeding with baby number 3. I was breastfeeding my 9 month old at the time and my periods hadn't returned then one day I started bleeding. It was full on bright red blood and I thought it was my periods returning. It lasted 2 days with pink spotting for one day after that. After 2 weeks I started using ovulation sticks as I wanted to track my ovulation and the line appeared for a week. I Googled it and basically it said if this happens you could already be pregnant!!!! Mad dash to the shop for a pregnancy test and low and behold 2 blue lines!!!!

I had implantation bleed with second baby was at work and suddenly felt like I had wee myself bright red blood ...then spotting then bleeding on and off over a week was sure I was having a miscarriage had cramps and big clot but baby was fine !

Ive used the asda pink dye tests and found them reliable and i think theyre pretty sensitive too.

Pink dye is always good, OP.

Sainsbury's blue dye is obnoxiously mean about giving false positives. So avoid that brand.

Good luck.
