implantation bleeding or period?

lulabell · #1 Jul 18, 2004, 12:30 PM

I had my last period June 17 - 20, we have been trying to get p and this month I was 3 days late. I started bleeding very lightly at first then it got a little heavier, then light again, the bleeding only lasted a day and half. I also had some cramping.
Has anyone ever had this happen before? if so is it my period or implantation bleeding?

I am not sure but have been experiening similar symptoms myself. The last day of my lmp was June 29. My period should have started July 22 ( I have a 24 day cycle) and on July 20 I had little pinkish/red spotting that went away within an hour or so the more spotting again today more brown in color but I too have had mild cramping.....which has made me think my period was starting but it is still spotting.....

I would like to know if it is too soon to take a hpt? Please let me know if you get any other info on it?

Hi, I have been experiencing the same symtoms. My last period was July 2-5, my next period should start around the 1st of August but I am having spotting and a little heavier. I'm a really heavy bleeder so thats why I am wondering if it is implantation bleeding instead of my period. My periods are usually regular since I've been on the pill for a little more than a year.

If y'all have any suggestions please let me know. Does this mean I am pregnant or need to go get a hpt?

I have the same problem, My last menstrual cycle was on 07/18 & I was suppose to get it on 08/15 I have a 28 days cycle never late except for when I got pregnant 7 yrs ago. And now i am spotting very light Does that mean that I'm getting my period? Please help, I waqs hopping that I was expecting. :-[ Another thing is I took 2 pregnancy test and they came out negative, but i really don't believe on them not this soon since the samething happen with my 1st child. The only difference was that I didn't spot. ???

I have been trying to concieve for over a year i had my period on july 20th i ovulated on the 3rd of aug we had intercourse on the 1st 3rd and 4th. i began cramping on the 15th and started spotting a very light pink on the 18th the cramps went away then on the 19th for app. 6 hours i had med blood flow that was kind of dark then it went back to light pink to brown spotting for 5 days. my period is normally very heavy from day one to day 4 with a lot of cramps then it stops on day 5. i am always regular and its always the same length and flow. i wondered if i was finally pregnant so i took hpt on the 27th its seemed neg. but had a very faint second line. i have been very nauseas and tired, ive been urinating alot more then normal and have several symptoms of pregnancy but im afraid im not . i thought maybe this was implantation bleeding but cant find a clear answer anywhere. i dont want to go to the doctor if im not . can anyone offer some advice. thanx ,candie

Wait a few days and test again

Hi everyone, I'm in the same boat as the rest of you all. My husband and I are trying to get pg, I ovulated on the 31st of august and i spotted a tiny bit on the 3rd 4th and 5th. It was brownish color and it was just one spot on the 3rd and two spotts on the 4th and one on the 5th. my periods are usually very heavy and last 6-8days with a lot of cramping. I know this wasn't a period. So what was it?
I would like to think it was implantation bleeding but i hate to get my hopes up. I don't want to waste the money on a hpt and have it be too soon for it to read it. i know you are supposed to wait till the day after your first missed period but that just seems so long from now. is a pt that the doctor takes more acurate then one from a hpt?

hey there are pregnancy tests that u can take 4 days prior ur period. and a blood test at your doctors can tell you even earlier.
