I have done some research and found implantation bleeding happens 6 to 12 dpo. On my 12th dpo, I received very light brown mixed with discharge and only when I wiped. Nothing more. The next day (yesterday) I received (after going all day with nothing) very light reddish brown bleeding so I put on a panty liner. Nothing came out onto the panty liner until just an hour ago today and even that wasn't enough to cover the liner. Now its red with still some brown and blood clots that are not solid but stringy... I knew a girl who had this same issue and she turned out to be pregnant... But I didn't think blood clots were normal with IB... I'm not due for a period until the 18th and I am never ever EVER early. Not once. And I always have very very severe cramps the day I get my period and I've been having light pressure down low for awhile now... I have a couple other pregnancy symptoms and I just want to know if this is somehow a very light period (since I always flow heavy at first and then it lightens during my period) or could it be implantation bleeding? And I was told IB happens 3 to 7 days before your period is due?

Also forgot to mention the blood is not like period blood in the sense that it is mixed with discharge and my period blood never is... It also smells straight of rust and my period never does...

Like Alty told you in a thread that was finally closed (and this applies to this thread too) --

"I think we need to cut to the chase for the last time. The only way to determine pregnancy is with a pregnancy test, either urine or blood. A urine test can be taken with first morning urine 2 weeks after a missed period. If you test negative you wait until your next period is due, test again if you miss it, or get a blood test.

For the final time, there is no way, NO WAY, to determine pregnancy by symptoms."

Yes I understand that. I just want to know if its IB or not...

We have no idea. Only God knows. Once you find out that you are pregnant, it very likely is.
