Heavy implantation bleeding? Or period?

[Incognitoez]

Apologies in advance for a lengthy & blood referencing post but would appreciate hearing any similar experiences or opinions.

(My partner and I had sex multiple times during my peak ovulation) I was due my period on Sunday, but last Tuesday I experienced spotting when I wiped - which never happens.

Sunday arrived and I got what I could only assume was my period, but it was quite sparse and watery, it went away within a few wipes. It eventually was a little heavier later in the day but bearing in mind I always need to use tampons, as I have a very heavy and consistent flow from day 1 do day 4/5, and I last for a week. This was nothing like what I usually experience.

I decided to wear a pad, which I never do but didn’t want to risk anything by wearing a tampon. When I have previously worn pads on my period I constantly have to change because my flow is very heavy but it’s not been nearly as heavy. Today it’s been more heavy than yesterday but still no where near as what it usually is.

I have had trouble sleeping, constantly needing to wee, feeling nauseous and experiencing headaches which isn’t something I usually suffer with. And also very emotional too. This has been going on for the last week or so.

I don’t want to get my hopes up, I have taken a couple pregnancy tests but negative so far. Would be interested to hear if anyone has had a similar experience and if so, the outcome?

Thanks!

I had what I thought was my period, but it turned out to be implantation bleeding. It lasted two days, and was considerably lighter than usual. I'd wait a few days and see what happens then take another test.

We weren't TTC so I just assumed it was one of those things and I'd just had a lighter month...it was only a few weeks later when I got fatigue, nausea and food aversion and I thought hmmm, I'll take a test!

Hi, I've got the same thing at the moment I thought my period had come Monday which was a few days late but this happens occasionally, it never really got started was barely there when I wiped n barely anything on a pad nothing like a normal period for me I always have heavy bleeding and have bad cramps I had no cramps at all but it lasted 5 days We always use condoms and I've never had one fail so I'm thinking for me it's probably the start of perimenopause Im 38. I did a test Sunday evening because I've felt nauseous and tired plus achey boobs and it was negative which I was sure it would be like I said never had a condom fail. I hope it's good news for you Though!

Also have a really awful taste in my mouth that won't go! Our bodies are so strange sometimes!!

Going through this now. And had a + very faint 3 days ago now having brown spotting 2days before AF and now say if no sign of proper period. All tests negative

I had the same thing 2 days before my period was due and got BFP (digital!) 1 day after it was due. Was negative until that point

EDIT and that was only 3 days ago. My symptoms are similar to yours, tired and moody

Hi, I know it's a long shot but what was your outcome on this situation. I am to going through the same and just need answers

Thanks
