I have irregular periods with no pattern. My menstrual cycles are anywhere between 35 - 120 days in length. Now that I'm trying to conceive, I cannot pinpoint when (or if) I ovulate. I have a doctor's appointment scheduled, but the earliest they could see me is in three months(!). So here's my question:
I had intercourse on February 7th. Three days later (Feb. 10th), I felt a period coming on, but instead of a period, all I had was brown discharge, like old blood. It only lasted for a few days, with no actual blood, and it was never heavy enough for a tampon or even a liner. Now it's ten days after intercourse (Feb. 17th). I took a pregnancy test this morning, which was negative.
Was the brown discharge I experienced implantation bleeding? Can implantation bleeding occur only three days after sex?
