Hi,
i'm new to all this so please bear with
me.
I have been actively trying to conceive
for 6 months and need some advice
please.
I had a very light and short period just
over a week ago, for the past three days
i've been feeling a bit queezy and vomited
once on sunday morning.
I haven't yet taken a hpt, I just wanted
to ask is it possible to have had a peiod
and still be pregnant.
Thanks
jdgirl :?

Wha you might have experienced is
implantation bleeding. It can seem like a
light period. And if it was about a week
or more ago the timing might be right for
you to take a pregnancy test. Your
symptoms could be that of pregnancy or
simply pms. The two can be very similar.
Good luck to you and let us know.

Wouldn't implantation bleeding be prior to
a period and not at all like a period?
People say it can be similar, but unless
the implantation occurred right when your
period was due and so light as so not need
a tampon or a pad, I would consider it a
light period and not implantation.
Period symptoms seem to mimic some
pregnancy symptoms. Sore breasts,
bloating, etc.
If you think it could be pregnancy, try
taking a test with first morning urine
when the hormones are at their highest
level. Good luck and I hope you get
pregnant soon!

My implantation stage was actually in
place of my period. The morning of my
period I was spotting brown... I figured
it was from stress of having to evacuate
from .Hurricane .Katrina. Through the
duration of my "period" I experienced
brown discharge only when I wiped. 2 days
after the 7 of spotting, I passed a tiny
clot. I thought it was my period so I got
the tampons ready. When I went to potty
later that evening, there was nothing. I
waited about a week and tested. To my
shock, it was positive. I took 3 more and
they all came back positive.
I didn't believe it until I heard the
hearbeat...And I was still in denial after
that because I didn't "feel" preggy!!
Good .Luck and I hope you get the results
you want!!!! Baby .Dust your way!!!

Implantation is when the newly fertilized
embryo attaches itself into the wall of
the uterus. When this happens (anywhere
from 5 to 11 days past ovulation) the
embryo starts to produce the pregnancy
hormone hcg- pregnancy tests are designed
to pick up on this hormone.
Sometimes when implantation occurs, a
small amount of spotting can be seen. Not
everyone gets implantation spotting and
there is no way to tell if you will have
it. Some women who have been pregnant
more than once may not have it, or may
only have it once. There is no pattern to
implantation spotting.
The spotting can be red, brown, or pink.
It can be watery and very minimal.
Implantation spotting isn't heavy, nor is
it a sign that something is wrong. Many
women can mistake it for their period.
Most women notice it when they go to the
bathroom because there is such minimal
bleeding it might not be evident any other
time.
Some women notice a small amount of
cramping with implantation spotting, thus
making it harder to decipher it from their
periods. Cramping is common in the luteal
phase, so it is not proof of implantation
if you are cramping.
There are no rules to implantation
spotting other than it not occurring
before 5 days after ovulation because the
egg has to have 4-5 days to prepare and
travel down the fallopian tubes into your
uterus

I never had cramping and it was only
present when I wiped, so that's why I
thought my period was on it's way. I just
passed it off a stress delaying my
period.
Good .Luck!

most women have implantation just before
or right when their period would be due.
I know women who have had what would seem
like 'periods' during early pregnancy.
Implantation is not always just spotting.
You can still have a light to medium flow
of blood and still have a healthy
pregnancy.
The only way to know for sure...Is to take
a hpt. If that's still negative and you
still feel you are pregnant...See a doctor
and have a blood test done.

Hi again,
still feeling queezy, have a scan booked
at my local hospital for friday (part of
ongoing fertility investigations), so i'm
going to wait until then to find out whats
going on.
I suffer from aps and know that any
pregnancy will be hard work but worth
it.
Thank you all for taking the time to reply
to me.
