You seem to be having your share of problems right now. Here is all you should now about implantation bleeding:
What does implantation bleeding look like?
Implantation bleeding is vaginal discharge which usually contains a small amount of pinkish or brownish blood. Only about a third of pregnant women experience implantation bleeding.
When does implantation bleeding usually occur?
It can happen at the time the fertilized egg implants in the uterus, on average between 6 to 12 days past ovulation.
Should I worry about implantation bleeding occurring?
Unless accompanied by cramping, backache or increased bleeding, a small amount of blood being discharged should be considered as implantation bleeding which is nothing to be concerned about.
If this is implantation bleeding, when can I test to see if I am pregnant?
Home pregnancy tests are based on a very simple principle. They work by through the detection of the hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in a woman's urine. This hormone is a hormone secreted by the developing placenta shortly after a fertilized egg has been implanted in the uterine lining.
If a woman is pregnant, the amount of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in her system should be around 25 mIU at 10 dpo (days past ovulation), 50 mIU at 12 dpo, 100 mIU at around two weeks dpo. Because of their high sensitivity factor ( 20 mIU/ml hCG ) in detecting human hCG, both the AimStick pregnancy tests can confirm pregnancy as early as 6-8 days past ovulation though most women find that the test reports a positive at 9 or 10 days past ovulation.

I went through that too.. I was 16 weeks and when I went in for my check up there was no heart beat the baby stopped growing at 13 or so. I had the D & C as well and right after my period I got pregnant. I was so afraid it was going to happen again but It didn't and my son was born healthy and is now almost 7 years old. Good luck and stay healthy..
Best wishes,
Michelle

It could be your bowels moving food through. This is done by involuntary muscles, so you don't get to decide when it will happen. And yes, our insides do quite a bit of moving. Try eating your last meal earlier in the evening.

Have you changed your diet recently, started any different medications, that could be why, maybe your bowels are having a harder time digesting then usual.

Is it painful at all? Could it be that you are constipated? I've had that happen before and it feels like there's a snake going through my bowels. Maybe it's time to see your doctor about this if it's something you are concerned about.
