i know this was a while back but i need this answered also i think i may have had implanation bleeding but not sure. has anybody had an actual light period which was not usual for them and ended up being pregnant? ↑
I had a light bleed and assumed I wasn't pregnant but it only lasted for a day. So after a week and a half of no bleeding at all I bought a test and it was positive. The bleeding I had on that day wasn't heavy, though it was bright red as I recall. I didn't have any cramping but my boobs were already sore and have stayed sore ever since. It's NOT a dumb question by the way. There isn't enough information about this or any other part of pregnancy. You can guarantee there'll be people out there who are glad you asked this question because they thought it was dumb to ask themselves. :-) That's what this site is all about. ↑

I need some help because I feel pregnant, have been feeling a little nausea, frequent urination, bloating, nipples seem darker, etc. for the past couple of weeks. But, on Tuesday I started light spotting -- pinkish, some brown. I am on the pill so always have very regular periods that always are very heavy starting on Wednesday during the fourth week. This time, it has been light spotting on and off for a few days. I thought maybe it was implantation bleeding, but when I took a test it was negative. But, I still feel all the above symptoms. . . Could I still be pregnant? ↑

I'm with Amy. For the past week my breasts have been INCREDIBLY sore, I've felt nausea and overwhelmingly tired. My af was due today, which usually starts heavy but has only been light brown. I've taken an hpt but it came out negative. I feel like I'm going insane here. ↑

Stacie, I'm just having the same thing. I started having pinkish discharge on the 20th. on the 21st it was just a little more with brown, but never enough to get on my panty liner. So yesterday (22nd) I took a pregnancy test suspecting inplantation. I thought it was negative at first, but after about 5 minutes I looked at in the sunlight and it was a VERY light line, but definately a line. The doctor took me yesterday afternoon for bloodwork (they watch me very carefully b/c I lost one tube to a ruptured ectopic pregnancy.) Any way, they got a positive too!!!! Yeah!!! Now we just have to make sure it's not another tubal. I have a son and never spotted with him, but I did spot with the tubal, but it was bright red spotting, not a pinkish discharge. Good luck everybody!!! ↑

Stacie,
I'm still experiencing the same symptoms. But, went to the doctor and the urine test was negative. Just found out today that the blood test came out negative also. . . But I still can't shake the feeling that I am pregnant. I mean, something is just off with my body. I'm having an abdominal ultrasound to rule out other possible causes on Wed. and to make sure it isn't an abnormal pregnancy and that is why the hcg levels are not being detected. . . So still playing the waiting game. Its really frustrating. If you still think you might be pregnant but get a negative on a hpt, you should talk to you doctor. Good luck! ↑

I'm new to all of this, so any help anyone can give is appreciated! I am on a 35 day cycle and usually ovulate around day 17. This month I think I ovulated on day 19. Five days later, I am having a small amount of brown/pink bleeding, but my period should not start for another 2 weeks according to my cycle. Is it implantation bleeding or too soon to tell? ↑

I think everyone always needs to be reminded that no pregnancy is like another... Not in your own history or compared to another woman. :) I am in the midst of what I 'think' is the 3rd week of my 3rd pregnancy and I'm unsure about things myself but I know the varying things that can occur. I did not get implantation with my two pregnancies and yet with this one I believe I did. I am due for period next week and last night, 6dpo after feeling icky all day I saw a titch of pink on my, pardon me, TP and then half hour later there was red... Then nothing until a few minutes ago and that was a titch brown... I am hopeful that along with how I feel and how we were TTC that this is implantation but let me remind everyone that things can be so different and I have been afraid to ask things so many times before and that is silly... Knowing everything I know I have been online 'googling' symptoms and words just TRYING to find someone with the same EXACT experience that would prove to me that I was pregnant, but that is all just wishful thinking until either your body tells you (I think after having one baby you know some of the symptoms the next time better if you are paranoid about your body and pay close attention) and a pregnancy test... thanks for letting me in...

Glad you asked the question. Everyone is different. I had just the opposite of you. One quick gush and then nothing for days, yet I'm still not late! Ugh! ↑
Name: ahdai | Date: May 9th, 2005 2:23 PM
The same thing is happening now. Period 1 day late. I started this morning with smears of pink. Put on a pad to observe. Two hours later. NOTHING on the pad. Then I peed and kind of 'squeezed it out'. Now it feels like period blood. I dont have heavy cramping like usual. just light funny ones.. i did take a HPT last Friday.. it expired back in 2002 and was neg. I think we are trying so hard that we deceive ourselves.... unfortunately for me, I dont think I am pregnant, as much as I want it to be...I am 34 and never been pregnant..started trying 3 months ago... ↑

Name: Laura | Date: May 17th, 2005 12:09 PM
I have been going through fertility tratments. I started bleeding exactly 14 days after ovulation, but its very light - only on tp when I go to the bathroom - in two days nothing has even reached the pad, and this only occurs in the morning. By noon, there is no blood. I have no idea what to think, but am extremely nervous. Does anyone think implantation can occur this late? ↑
Name: Lori | Date: May 17th, 2005 10:45 PM
I am in the same boat. I have been trying to have a baby. With my first pregnancy, I got what appeared to be my period. After a couple more weeks, I did not feel right so I took a pregnancy test just to be sure. It came out negative. A week later-still feeling weird-I had a blood preg test done. Still negative. A month later, I found out I was six weeks pregnant with twins. This time, it is the same. It is exactly the time I should be getting my period, but it is so light. I am cramping though, so who knows. Does anyone know - if it happened before, can it happen again?

I never had any bleeding. I found out I was pregnant 4 days after missing my period. I felt as if I would start, my breast were sore and I felt crampy. Never had any blood though. ↑
Name: Jackie | Date: May 19th, 2005 11:11 PM
To Laura: With my first pregnancy I had spotting right around 14 days after I ovulated and I did three pregnancy tests but they were not conclusive. When I had the blood test it came back positive. I am currently experiencing spotting again around the same time and my first pregnancy test came back negative. I am going to try again though and see. The first time I felt so period like that I could not believe it was implantation bleeding but it was!! I hope it is this time too for me and you also! ↑
Name: Karen | Date: May 22nd, 2005 10:05 AM
I'm having same problem. Light brown bleeding on tp, some small clots just for 3 days. ttc so hoped I was pregnant + this was implantation bleeding but test says no - could I still be? It's hard getting negatives all the time so I know how u feel. good luck xx ↑
Name: Jackie | Date: May 22nd, 2005 10:31 AM
Hi Mary, I dont know much about implantation bleeding other than my experiences. Mine is usually VERY light like the very start of a period but then it just stops and is usually a pink or brown. I have never had any red blood nor have I needed to use anything more than a pantyliner and that was even too much. I am sure each person has different experiences though. I just had this slight spotting on Saturday and did a test Monday that was negative. I had spotting again on Wednesday and by Friday the pregancy test was positive! But I still felt so much like I was getting my period but also had some other slight pregnancy signs too. I hope everything works out for you. ↑
Name: Karen | Date: May 22nd, 2005 12:02 PM
thanks Jackie. I did have or thought i had other pregnancy signs so fingers crossed - I'm going to see the doctor 2moro so hopefully they can help. I've had 2 miscarriges so it would be great if i was pregnant. Good luck to u and bump. Good to know there r others in same situation. ↑

Hi, I'm having the same issue! I have a daughter and never had any bleeding, ever! I am due to start 2morrow and started bleeding this morning, 1st light pink, then bright red like I cut myself or something, then a little darker. I cried thinking it is my . but now it's not bleeding. I used a pad for 5 hrs and only a drop or 2 were on it but when I wipe it is bloody. I used a tampon but I usually fill one pretty fast on the 1st day of my period. I got some heavy cramping though when I 1st started bleeding and now I'm sore but much better. Took a test and it was -, so I don't know what to think. Could it have been implantation, period, miscarriage? ↑

i have a daughter that is we think is pregnant we have had 2 test done and they both say pregnant so waiting for gp to confirm this she had what i was told by a nures that she could have had implantation bleed last month i not heard of this as i never had it on my 3 pregnancys i was told to watch out by a friend as it could lead to a misscarriage can any one tell me if they went on to have a healthy baby after a implatation bleed ↑
Name: Jackie | Date: May 26th, 2005 12:16 PM
K- My last pregnancy I had some implantation bleeding right around the time I was due for my period. It was very light though and a pantiliner was enough. I had a very good pregnancy and delivered a healthy baby boy. I am now pregnant again and had implantation bleeding on and off for 5 days this time but I am hoping for the best with this one too! I hope everything is okay with your daughter. ↑

Can someone pls help if you have had this happen. I had sex exactly three days before my period and the condom broke and he ejaculated inside of me. I didn't take the morning after pill because i figured i was safe since my period was so close. I believed in the 14 day rule of ovulating 14 days before my next period so i thought i was safe. I got my period right on time and it was as normal as could be. Everything has been cool up until today. I am spotting. I have normal periods and i NEVER spot. some would probably say stress but even during my most stressful times my period is not affected. So i put on a pad thinking i am about to have a very early period but that started 5 hours ago and there hasn't been anymore bleeding. I am really confused and nervous. I would be 16 days past "conception" i know that i shouldn't have to use pantyliners or pads 18 days before my next period. If you have had a similar experience pls share. thanx!!!! ↑

Hi, I'm back, any good news for anyone? I was due yesturday but started bleeding on wed...light then dark. I'm confused. I'm nauseaous and cranky...w/no appetite yet hungry. I ate the whole house my 1st pregnancy so I'm not sure. I've bled more than a couple spots...filled maybe 1-2 tampons over 2 days but usually I have a heavy first couple days. Funny thing is it will stop for a few hours, come back, maybe only when i wipe, and then gone...I don't know what to think. I took a preg test on wed, -. Now i won't take on cuz im scared to. I didn't spot w/ my first and it could be my period. How much blood is everyone else having and how long did it last? Today is the 3rd day, but i'm still achy and I'm usually unaware of my cycle by now! Is there still a chance i might be pregnant? If so I guess I shouldn't test for another few days since HcG accumulates a few days after implantation right? I feel helpless. ↑
