Q: Implantation Bleeding Or Period?
asked by: vanessarae on July 26th, 2005

Alright. I've been having some spotting which is brown/red in color which usually fills one normal pad a day. My period is supposed to be at the end of this week but my spotting started 7 days ago. Today it is very very light. I was wondering if this could be implantation bleeding, my period or something else. I had sex with my boyfriend at the beginning of the month during my previous period with a condom used correctly. I am so confused as to what may be going on, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Ive heard brownish blood is **old blood ** from your last period or from an injury with intercourse, sharp fingernails while being f***ered: if you know what I mean.?? Could have been just trapped in there since last time. Now, I have read on here many woman who are pregnant or think they are have had the brownish blood maybe if its implantation bleeding, if it takes longer to come down, or takes longer to come out.--**old blood**

i do know you can get pregnant at almost anytime in your cycle--even while having your period, not likely but possible. You also said you used condom. Well, most likely not preg though, I would think

Alright. My spotting or bleeding stopped that day but now I have abdominal cramps below my belly button. The cramps really hurt when I sit down. My period is suppose to come around today but these cramps do not feel like period cramps at all. Anyone know what could be up?

Usually implantation bleeding occurs around the time you suppose to have your period. That's why it's so confusing for us .

Implantation usually 10 to 14 days from conception. Which on 28 day cycle would be right around when period is due or a few days be4.

I never had the implantation bleeding with any child I carried to term. I did however have a full blown period the first month of my pregnancy, on a miscarriage of 4 1/2 months along.

Implantation Bleeding
I had implantation bleeding during the week before my period was supposed to come on.Just very light spotting and then I bled a little more ,but no quite a period.Did cramp a lot and then the blood went back to very light again for about 4 days.The pg test may not come out positive at first because of hcg levels not that high yet.You may want to seriously get a blood test at the docs to make sure if you are pg that all is well with you and the baby. Some women just mistake impl.Bleeding for a abnormal period,but at that time ,it is already 2 weeks after conception and 4 weeks after you last normal period.

implantation bleeding...
TO ANSWER THE ABOVE PLEA!!!!
ok...first of all...relax. Sweetie,let me give u some valid facts!
Implantation bleeding occurs on AVERAGE 9 days after fertlization, on other basis it occurs 7-14 days after. If your period is due afterwards and hasn't shown there is a big chance u r preggerz...then again u might not be due to the fact that sometimes sex can cause irregulaities in menstration. In your case howev. u have bled and "missed ur period". to c how all this happened go to TEENWIRE.COM there is a section on it in green that says "DO" it gives u an animated timeline and process from sex to pregnancy and its clear cut-its called HOW PREGNANCY HAPPENS-ITS A CARTOON BY THE WAY! as for u bing 17- it isnt like old days wher u get preg early and you r stuck at home and left back in society- u can always continue ur education with discipline thr r all sorts of programs..DEVRY, LINCOLN TECH., ITT-maybe even some local ones...find a local one even- visit a teen center whr u can get financial help etc. of course u'll get the mombo jumbo from ur family but let them know uve got this. and thr r even younger ppl thn u...im 16 almost 17 and as i type..i might be having implantation bleeding! GOODLUCK!!!

Implantation or period?
I had bleeding that exact day my period would have started, and it followed a very similar pattern, only the slightest bit lighter. If anything, it lasted a day longer than my period usually does, and on the last day i had bleeding that sounded similar to implantation bleeding; light brown stringy in clear mucous like stuff that was very light (but being near the end of my suspected period I guess that part would make sense). I used a tampon instead of a pad, so it's hard for me to know exactly what it looked like, other than the color appearing the same. I also had strange mild cramping from around the time of my ovulation all the way through to when I started bleeding. So I mainly was just curious if anyone who ended up being pregnant had implantation bleeding so similar to the period as mine? and advice would be appreciated, thanks!
