Pregnancy Info HOME

I had implantation bleeding with my first and again with this pregnancy - this time it was cd18. sometimes woman bleed a little bit when their af is suppose to start - that's different than implantion bleeding. Implantation bleed takes place about 5-8 days after the egg and sperm join - they then travel up the flopian tube and burrow in the uterus and that burrowing is what causes implantation bleeding. Hope this helps.

I had a smear of brownish discharge at 16dpo and a little the next morning. Then it went away. I think it was implantation bleeding.

Jess - are you still there? I hadn't noticed you are a midwife - I have LOTS of questions!! nice to know you're there -

Have any of you experienced cramping along with the implantation bleeding/spotting?? We have been trying for two months now and think i may be experiencing this! The spotting is a brownish discharge/very light accompanied by the crampy feeling right before my period. It started 6 days before my period is supposed to come. Should I take a test tomorrow or wait a while?? I also have increased urination and breast tenderness.
thanx

The tests are most accurate 30 days from the first day of your last af. If you want to take one, though - go ahead if it's neg wait a week and try again. The crampy feeling usually doesn't start until a bit later - but you never know. If your af is suppose to start in 4 or 5 days hang in there - waiting is something to get use to - first waiting to know - then waiting the other months!! Hope to hear about your bfp within a week!

Thanks for the response,k it was very helpful... I will wait the 4 more days to take the test again. I took it this am and it turned out negative. Still experiencing some spotting which is getting a little heavier now. ALso have other symptoms ...tired, sore brsts. How long does this spotting last? I've been reading 5 days for most.

I always have I.B. and cramps. The major difference is the amount of blood (less with IB) and the amount of cramping (less intense). The only time I didn't have Implantation Bleeding the embryo didn't implant properly--miscarriage at 5.5 weeks). So in my case, as in some other peoples ( I assume) it is a good sign.

I had cramping and implantation bleeding both times. I suppose it varies from woman to woman, becasue I notice here some women said they had it and others did not. Congrats to you, it sounds very promising!

Hi! I am sure that I had implant bleeding but the doctors cannot confirm it. I have read alot about it and am sure that is what I had! It started as a pinkish discharge and then lead to a slight bloody discharge. But there was no pain! This happened about 3 weeks into my pregnancy which is apparently when the implantation occurs. I did not even bleed enough to have to wear a panty liner or pad. I have had no bleeding since.

well I know im in the wrong board but couldnt help but put my two cents in. Im currently 19 weeks but in my sixth week I spotted and it was brown sometimes with more or less. I also had some little tissue pass but was always brown, I also had real bad cramps so I thought it was over for me. About two months later it stopped and the baby is fine and is kicking and jumping around.

I've had some brown spotting for 4 days now, enogh to wear a panty liner, also some brown tissue, no pain, no tender breast or cramps yet, I had a pregnancy test this morning with an equate test that is supposed to give results 7 days before period is due and it was negative I still have 6 more days till my period is due. When am I supposed to test again?

no--you are not on the wrong board-thanks for sharing your experience with us! it gives us hope when we see wacko things that we do not want to see!

For those that had implamentation bleeding, were you temping at the time? Did your temperatures fall?

Vanessa - Just an FYI...I took an EPT, the one that is supposed to show results up to 4 days before your expected period. It showed negative each time. Finally, the day I was supposed to start, I tested with one of those $1 store tests, and it showed a positive! So it was first to show a + and it isn't even an early result test! I also had brown spotting for one full day just a few days before AF was due. So, you never know! Good luck!

Hi I'm new to the board and I have question my cycle is to start on 11/21/05 and I started spotting light pink they where drops not alot on 11/14, and 11/15 but now it's 11/16 and no spotting or any thing could this be implantation?

IT SURE SOUNDS LIKE IT TO ME!!! If you don't start within a week you should grab a tester! Good luck
