    I had a misscarriage nearly 3 years ago and it was horrible. From what you have said it doesn't sound like a misscarriage but you should still ask your dr. If you are not sure whether you are pregnant or not your dr will most probably tell you that you are not because it is easy for them to say that but it doesn't stop you from worrying.

    Is your period late? And but how many days

    It could be implation bleeding. Go and see your doctor and explain everything also ask them for a blood test. This is a better way of showing if you are pregnant or not by the levels of HGC in your blood (pregnancy hormone)

    I would see your dr. When did you lat have unprotected sex? A period being late is just a late period not a missed one, and this small bleeding could just be this months period. If you had 2 negative tests you are probably not pregnant. Why not take another test? There is little point in worrying about a miscarriage if you don't even know that you are pregnant! Is there any chance you could have an std? They can mess up your cycle sometimes, and cause irregular bleeding and discharge, or are you on birth control? Again some can stop your periods or alter the length and flow of them.

    Implantation bleeding is lighter than menstrual bleeding, and consists of pink or brown colored blood. Implantation bleeding occurs when the trophoblast, or tissue that surrounds the egg, attaches to the endometrium and slowly eats its way into the lining. As it does so, it eats through the mother's blood vessels, forming blood lakes within itself. When these blood lakes form near the surface of the trophoblast, they often cause implantation bleeding.

    Remember, the difference between period and implantation bleeding is the amount; implantation bleeding is considerably lighter than menstrual bleeding. Menses and implantation bleeding should be different enough so that you can tell. Here are some frequently asked questions about spotting:


    When does implantation bleeding occur?
    Usually 5-12 days after ovulation, so just around the time that you would be getting your period. Bleeding during ovulation is something different.

    What does implantation bleeding look like?
    Implantation bleeding signs are a light pink or brown colored spotting.

    How long does implantation bleeding last?
    The duration varies for each woman.

    Definitely see your doctor, especially with prolonged symptoms like this. You may be scared to hear what he may say, BUT if it is something serious, you will regret not going sooner, when it may have been more manageable. The longer you put it off, the more dangerous it could become.

    IMPLANTATION BLEEDING- Many women believe that when trying to concieve that they experience IMPLANTATION BLEEDING. It is important to understand that this is not as common as we all would like to believe. So, prior to asking “is this implantation bleeding” please read on.


    I know it would be nice for those of us who are trying to conceive to be able to have a little dark discharge or a little spotting to tell us that we are pregnant, unfortunately that is not the case. As a woman who is trying to get pregnant you probably know your cycles. Well, I would like to go in depth a little about how this works so that you understand not only when you ovulate, but the medical terms, as well as the function of each, and what is actually happening to your body during this time.

    Ovulation – Ovulation begins within the ovaries. The ovary is the organ that produces the egg cells and the female sex hormones.

    Conception – Conception occurs when the sperm and the egg meet in the fallopian tube. Approx 30 hours later the fertilized egg begins to divide. This process takes about 3 days. On about day 6 of conception the fertilized egg begins to attach to the uterus. This is the process called implantation. Implantation is complete during the 2nd week after fertilization. Once implantation is complete your body begins to release a hormome commonly called hCG.
    Occasionally, the developing mass of cells implants in tissues outside the uterus, for instance, an ovary, the cervix, or an organ in the abdominal cavity. This result is called an ectopic pregnancy. If a fertilized egg implants within the uterine tube, it is called a tubal pregnancy . A tubal pregnancy is dangerous to a pregnant woman and the developing offspring because the tube usually ruptures as the embryo (baby) enlarges and is accompanied by severe pain and heavy abdominal bleeding. Treatment for this is prompt surgical removal of the embryo and repair or removal of the damaged uterine tube.

    It is important to know that pregnancy is different for EVERY woman and EVERY pregnancy. No 2 women or no 2 pregnancies will be exactly alike.


    IMPLANTATION BLEEDING STUDY- According to a study done by the University of North Carolina, done in 2003 “Little is known about the occurrence and patterns of vaginal bleeding during the earliest stages of pregnancy. We explore this in a prospective study of early pregnancy.”


    A total of 221 women were studied and they kept a daily diary along with providing urine samples while trying to become pregnant. Out of these 221 women 151 became clinically pregnant. Clinically pregnant means that the pregnancy lasted 6 or more weeks past their last monthly period. A total of 14 women reported reported at least one day of bleeding during the first 8 weeks. Out of these 14 women, 12 women delivered babies.

    According to this study, the University found no supportive information that implantation causes bleeding. The conclusion to the study is that early bleeding in clinical pregnancies is NOT to be mistaken for LMP (last monthly period).

    The information I have given you comes from Medscape.com. Please feel free to research there, but you must have an account to view the entire article

    Wel, I've been with my boyfriend for 5 years and we do have a son together so we always have unprotcted sex and I am on birth control. If I had and STD wouldn't he have it as well. I just got a scare cause it felt like I couldn't walk from all the pain. And now 2weeks later it's just my lower back that hurts.

    If you two have been faithful to each other, I would not be concerned about an STD. But in answer to your question, yes he would have it as well. Understand though that some STDs have different side effects for men than they do women. Some are even asymptomatic (symptom free).

    Wait, before we go further. What kind of birth control are you on?
