Q: brown discharge implantation bleeding?

Hey everyone. I've never felt more stressed or confused in my life... I can't talk to my parents about this so I thought asking for help here may useful...

I'm experiencing this brownish stickish discharge and it's been going on for a couple of days (3 4?) I had sex on July 19th, and I'm guessing this discharge started around the 22nd.

I read up on implantation bleeding and what I'm experiencing seems to match the description. However, my last period started on July 12th and ended on July 18th/19th (Yea, i had sex right when my period ended). My cycle is approx. 35 days. He wore a condom and I am not on birth control.

Is it possible that this is implantation bleeding? It doesn't really make sense because my cycle has been a regular 5 weeks long for a while now... What else can explain brownish discharge a couple days after having sex?

terribly nervous Sad

I'm not even sure when I can get tested for pregnancy because it's so soon after my last period.. everything just seems so off. I'm feeling tired but that may just be because i'm stressed about this. I'm not nauseous or having weird food cravings/aversions. My breasts are not sore, but by nipples seems slightly darker but that may be psychological...

please help me?

Much Love

Sounds like you're not pregnant. The brown discharge could just be some old blood left behind from your period. Implantation bleeding does not happen to everyone. And if it does, it happens about a week before a due period and you are no where near that.

Thanks so much for your response. I hope you're right. If unfortunately it IS implantation bleeding, when would be a good time to be tested for pregnancy? If I am pregnant, it should show up as positive by now right?

So far no other pregnancy symptoms and the brownish discharge has stopped. *crosses fingers*

You should test when your period is due/late. If you get a negative and still no period, test again in a few days.
