Liz,
how long is your normal cycle? It could be spotting, or implantation bleeding. 14 days does sound a little long. You might want to go to the doctor or take a hpt.
Ivillage:
how can I tell the difference between an early period and implantation bleeding?
I would suspect implantation bleeding if it occurs a bit earlier than expected, if it were scanty, spotty, pinkish and not red and heavy like a period, and does not follow the normal pattern of a period (light to heavy to light).
The bbt should remain elevated and not decline to preovulatory levels.
There is often the feeling that it is a period with light cramps and bloating, but the bleeding is shorter, lighter and just not normal.
If a woman is usually regular, and now all of a sudden develops this type of early spotting, and of course is "at risk" for a pregnancy, I would strongly suspect conception.

hope this helps.

My normal cycle is 5-7 days. I am so scared to try another test because I am let down every time and it depresses me and I dont want to disappoint myself again. But yes the spotting was about a week earlier than my normal period. Also, I was wondering if implantation bleeding last more than 2-3 days. The spotting I had was off and on, but it was so light I just wore a liner everyday and it never became close to full. But thank you for your help I really do appreciate it.

Thanks b-fly

Liz,
go and see a doc for a blood test. I had those spotting stuff before. If it is dark brown, it is not implantation bleeding. Cos my period came after that .

Yeah, I know all the frustrations going thru' testing and see the neg. Results. It is depressing...:(
