I got my last period Nov. 27th. Dec 14th I noticed spotting it stopped the 15 came back the 16th. The 17th was still very light this time pink instead of brown and today it is a little heavier and a tad bit darker also had a few cramps. Could this be implantation bleeding or a rather early period? :confused: What are your opinions?

I apologize that your question went unanswered for this long. I know you must be concerned, but I will try to shed some light on this. Generally, the length of your menstrual cycle can fluctuate from 3 weeks to 5 weeks, without alarm. Implantation bleeding is vaginal discharge which usually contains a small amount of pinkish or brownish blood accompanied by cramping. Implantation bleeding is normal during pregnancy, but sometimes it's a sign of miscarriage. You may want to take a pregnancy test to see if your pregnant. If you continue to spot or bleed please see your doctor right away.

I forgot to mention that my period that began nov 27 ended dec 2 (first of my period usually last 7-8 days this one was also dark brown)
I also forgot to mention that my fiancé and I have been having unprotected sex and he has ejaculated in me. I told him the 17th that I had been spotting the 14th then it stopped the 15th and came back the 16th and we were both excited about the possibility of a child (which was the first time we have actually talked about having children). However we did have sex a few times that day (the 17th) and that night now that I think of it that's when the bleeding started (It was a light pink). Could that have caused any problems? We decided to wait until the 28 to take a test so it should be more accurate. Which I am going out of my mind here waiting. The bleeding has indeed continued it's now the 19th and the bleeding is about the same still pink with brown how ever it also at times has had red in it and yesterday had some blood clots. I also am concerned because I do work at PetSmart and I take care of animals all day such as reptiles, birds, small animals, and fish. So I'm sure you all understand where the concern is there.
One last thing I have noticed the past month I have been rather tired, a couple times I have got rather dizzy standing in one spot, cramps, and lower back pains. Confused doesn't even explain how I feel right now.

Misunderstood311, the symptoms can occur the day of unprotected sexual intercourse or up to 6 days after unprotected sexual intercourse depending on if there is an egg waiting and if the sperm are still around. A home pregnancy test will usually be able to detect any signs of pregnancy within fourteen days after fertilization. So before taking a home pregnancy test, you should wait at least fourteen days after unprotected sexual intercourse or until you miss your period. I also recommend that you see your doctor as soon as possible. Please schedule an appointment with your doctor so that he or she can determine the cause of your symptoms.

As PrettynPetite1 stated, we all are different and you should see your doctor as soon as possible, especially due to your current job. There is a strong possibility that you are pregnant, and this might be implantation bleeding, therefore see your doctor and explain all to him/her and get reassurance, which you really really need at this point. Please keep us posted and let us know how you are doing.
Happy Holidays! And the best of luck. http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/8/8_2_101.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZN)
