[Brutus The Buckeye]

Hello! I'm new to the site, but hope someone could offer me some advice. My husband and I have been trying to conceive. So here is the deal- My last period was December 17th (I have regular cycles) and have been off birth control for 5 months. Around 8 days after ovulation I started to have some brown discharge, only when I would wipe. The amount increased over the next few days, but still was a small amount (with no red blood). Yesterday I had severe cramping and headache, followed by a small amount of red blood. I still am having some red and brown discharge, but not to the amount of a period. My period is not due to start for about 3 more days. I took a pregnancy test this morning just to see, but it was negative. I'm not sure if this could be implantation bleeding or if its just my period? Please help! Thanks :)

You don't mention your age which is actually pretty important because of hormonal fluctuations. However, it is not uncommon to have an early or late period, also a period with different flow amounts.

Please read this about implantation bleeding.

(its also not uncommon for healthy couples to try up to a year before conceiving. So don't start to worry about that yet, either. )
