Could I be experiencing implantation bleeding a week after my period? It's the 4th day and I'm bleeding very lightly a faint pink/brown. AF is not supposed to come tntil the end of this month!

It is absolutely possible, BUT it would be a little early for implantation bleeding. Implantation occurs anywhere from 4-7 days after the egg is fertilized during ovulation. Ovulation occurs around 10 days after the FIRST day of your period. That is just the rule of thumb, it isn't the rule. Everyone is different, and our cycles can go totally whack-o at any time as I am sure you know.:-) Wait a week and start testing. It takes about 7 days after implantation for there to be enough HCG in your urine to have a positive HPT.

Good luck!

So I hear with the ovulation occurring around 7-10 days... BUT I have stopped bleeding. A couple of months ago, the same thing happened, but I knew it was leftover blood from my last period just because there were a lot more brownish and there were clots. This time it was just really weird. 1 out of the 4 days of my bleeding, I actually needed a panty-liner and the rest I only saw when I wiped when I used the bathroom. I spoke with a few friends of mine and experienced very similar symptoms as I did but not as long, so we'll see. AF is not supposed to come until the last week of this month~ I'll keep you posted. Please if anyone knows anything else please any advises are welcome!

So I was supposed to start my period yesterday or today I have been spotting. Usually when I should start, the blood just comes like niagra falls hahah sorry for being tmi. I've been have crazy food cravings, my breasts are really sore, breaking out like crazy on my face, and my back aches are constant. I have to go to the bathroom every 30 minutes. I have used an hpt a week ago thinking first response would pick it up but I did use my second pee don't know if that would have been the problem. But it came out negative. I think I'll wait this out if it were to just turn into a period or not. I'll keep you posted.
