I am having the same problem. My last period was June 24th which put my ovulation at July 8th. My husband and I had sex around on and around this date. I am now a few days late and have been experiencing swollen, tender breasts, frequent urination, neausousness, headaches, emotional sensitivity, etc. I have taken 4 hpt's and all have come out negative. I just am beside myself as this is my first time to experience this. Then yesterday when wiping I had saw light pink and then today a little darker. No need for a liner, but seeing this has me upset that I might be starting my period. Everyone tells me this is normal, but I just don't know. If I am pregnant, when will it show up on an hpt?

If it has not shown up on HPT it is probably not implantation bleeding. It is possible that you are just having a light period, which is not unusual.

Your current period should have started around July 24 anywhere through Aug 3.

I would try again for an HPT after Aug 3, there should be enough hormone in your system by then.

Are you on any form of birth control? If so, what kind, how long? What is your age?

All of this is important for me to determine the possibility of pregnancy.

I was on birth control for over 10 years, but went off in June of 2006. I am 32 years old. My husband and I have not be actively "trying", but hoping that it happens. I might mention that I am always like clockwork and have never been late in the past.

You do not specify what kind of birth control. That is Extremely important.

We were not using any type of birth control.

Please read this post. If there are still more questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

My situation is exactly the same. Except for the dates. I was suppost to start on the 14. My cycles are always normal, but now I am spotting and it is kind of a medium flow, but it is still not enough to use a tampon or pad!

Has anyone ever had this happen before? if so is it my period or implantation bleeding?

Sounds complicated good luck

Hi everyone,
Well I'm having similar problems. Around the time I was supposed to get my period (they're irregular) I bled for 1.5 days. It wasn't spotting but it was nowhere near as heavy as my periods. I've also had a lot of cramping that comes and goes (not bad) since a week before the bleeding, and I had frequent unprotected sex around the time I ovulated. Is the bleeding to heavy for me to be pregnant? My breasts aren't sore (tho they seem more sensitive) but I am tired, moody, and have had a huge appetite change. I urinated a lot anyway since I drink a lot of water so I can't tell from that. If I am I would be nearly 7 weeks. I can't test for a few days because I live out of town (australia) and it'll be another week before I can get to a shop. All I want to know is if anyone's implantation bleeding that wasn't just spotting. I just feel pregnant, but then again I could be letting my imagination go crazy. Good luck! :confused:

Hi, were you pregnant? I am experiencing the same thing, my period is not due till August 3/08 (tomorrow) I'm usually 28 days give or take a day-2 days late. This is our first month trying to conceive and I've been experiencing pregnancy symptoms. 4 days before my period I noticed a light brown discharge then a couple of hours later bright red blood with dark blood clots, this happened for 1.5 days and today it's getting lighter. Took a blood test and it came out negative. If I am pregnant it could just be 2 weeks, could this be my period as the days are so close? Could the blood test be wrong? My periods are heavy for the first 2 days then stops for the 3rd day then resumes on again on the 4th day. Don't know what to think of all of this?? Anyone experience this before and if so what is this?

I have been off birth control for about 4 months now . My periods have been getting back into a normal cycle since I have came off the birth control. I am now a week late. Since I have been off birth control every month around my period I get bad acne, Cramps, lower backaches, headaches and usually have to go to the bathroom a lot. This month has been differnet I have had to go to the bathroom a lot but that has ended, mild headaches,lower backache,bigger breast,loss of sleep,vivid dreams every night, leg cramps and upset stomach. I have had some brown discharge but no cramps. Should I take a pregnancy test or believe my periods coming

Wow, this seems to be a common problem. My husband and I are also trying to get pg and my period was due today. I took a few pg tests over the last week. The type that claim to be able to read from 7 days prior to a missed period. The first one I took had a faint line after a couple of minutes, the next was negative (but an old test that I think may have expired) and the third I took yesterday was a clear no. I woke to cramps this morning that usually indicate the start of my bleeding but when I went to the toilet there was only the faintest hint of pink. I inserted a tampon anyway and went back to bed feeling sad that I wasn't successful. When I went to change my tampon a few hours later, it was almost mostly 'clean' when it would normally be soaked. I just removed my second tampon and it was the same as the first. My cramps haven't eased but I haven't got my usual back and upper leg aches. Fingers crossed but I am thinking that I am not pg.

Hia ladies. I have a similar situtation too I guess. So I've been charting for 10 cycles now. But my 9th cycle I lost my therm and haven't been able to temp. I'm in my 10th cycle now, and just found my therm recently so I still can't use it till cycle 11. This cycle for me has been crazy. I don't know for sure when I O'ed, but I'm defintely having some PG symptoms. My period was suppose to start yesterday or today. Well this morning I woke with my usual period cramps and when I went to the bathroom, I was bleeding... Or so I thought. I'm not really bleeding at all. It's more like light spotting. It's not red, but more like pink/brownish and sometimes even orange looking. And it just keeps getting lighter through out the day so far. I've been super super emotional for the last couple of weeks. My boobs hurt WAY more than a normal period. I have been peeing more than normal and smells are making me queasy. I have 2 kiddos, so I know my body PG. But I'm feeling confused right now. I took a dollar store PG HPT on Mon but it was negative and before my period was suppose to start too. Even though I've started spotting today, none of these other symptoms have gone away like I thought they would. So I was wondering, does anyone think I should spend the money on a PG test even though I'm spotting and everything else that's going on? Has anyone been in a similar situation to this one and WAS PG? I would love to get any advise, stories, opinions... Anything. I would greatly, greatly appreciate it. :)

I've had similar situation since oct 2009 missed a period but had the symptoms was never trying so my mind wasn't playing tricks on me. When I was a week late I considered pregnancy so I took a test and it was negative.three weeks later missed another period went to the gyn had a blood test and it was negative too had an ultrasound but nothing. I was having pregnancy symptoms except heartburn and sore boobs.I still believed that I was pregnant because I even felt pain down there that I have never felt before.by nov 21 I bleed lightly for pantyliner for 6 days. Doctor considered that my period but I didn't. By December 19 I was to get my next period and after going through the same thing period symptoms running to the bathroom thinking was here.that stopped for a week.took a test negative.then 1 week ago my boobs started to hurt which I have never had in my life and I started to cramp a little and with that said I bleed for 2 days couple times enough for a thin pad.idk if it was implantation as now 3 days since it ended I still have mild cramps my cervix is high closed and soft but tests are still negative with pregnancy symptoms.I will test again in 1 week.I got so used to the idea of having a baby now I'm trying for one lol. I would say for all the posts if there is a possibility that you might be pregnant being that your sexually active I say get blood work done and trust me it will relax your mind and if that doesn't help get an ultrasound done. Any bleeding after ovulation is possible implantation bleeding even after a light period you might still be pregnant. You know your body better than we do. We can't say for sure if your pregnant but if you feel different and know something's up. Then go to your doctor and find out for sure. I also recommend purchasing in bulk 50 pack pregnancy tests on Amazon they are the dipstick tests and its only 11 bucks they are the kinds used in clinics and health depts.you can test whenever you have a suspicion without hurting your pockets for $10 for one or 2 tests.im still trying as we are ready for our first child together and I just ordered them. I wish you all the best in your baby making endeavors lol. Wow I wrote a lot...

I have been doing the same thing and usually I ama very heavy bleeder, at first my cramps came then the lightest of blood flow to were I didn't even have to wear a pad or tampon. But, the next day it got heavier then lighter again. Implantation Bleeding can last for 3-5 days and is often mistaken as a period the blood can be light pink or a brownish red... its best to see your doctor.. or if you are trying to getpregnant like I am.. turkey baste, this procedure is done in the safety of your home. For more information on this procedure to make sure it is right for you, do a little bit of research (also do ovulation research for better results)..

Good Luck,
Hoping For a Little Miracle:)

Actually, I had the tiniest spots of brownish/pinkish discharge at 15DPO... I only thought to test at 23DPO (may have been able to be detected sooner, who knows?), and it was a VERY dark BFP. Never give up hope, good luck!

I have a question. I keep track of my periods and its usually 31 days.

Like I'd get it on the 19th 18th or 19th it really depends.

I had sex on oct 15 he didn't *** in me or whatever which was my 27th day and I was hoping to get a period on the 19th but instead got it on the 21st. I'm an athlete so its really normal. The flow was really normal like my usual period it didn't look weird

I haven't had sex after the 15th of October.
On nov 21 I got my period. (I expected it that day) IT WAS REALLY LIGHT. I didn't need a napkin. Just a panty liner. The blood was red and then after a few days it was gone... its so weird because I haven't had sex...

Since i have my implantation done i always bleed is that a normal thing or no? It been now 3 month.
