i've searched all over the web since i'm
aware that there are many q and a's
regarding implantation bleeding but have
been unable to find any answers regarding
my own issue at the moment so thought i'd
post here.
I started spotting on day 23 of my cycle
and don't begin my period until day 30
(i'm pretty regular and never more than a
day or too off). It is now day 30, I
haven't started my period and i'm still
spotting! So in total i've been spotting
for seven days...It's really sparse (all I
need is a light panty liner) and the first
day I had a pinkish discharge followed by
(and remaining) brown spotting.
Absolutely no red blood-just brown. What
could this possibly be??? I'm not on the
pill and i'm always really regular so i'm
totally confused. Does implantation
bleeding possibly last this long? I
always thought it couldn't last for more
than a couple of days...
As for symptoms my breasts are sore like
they are before my period and i've been
really tired lately but that's about it.
Any replies would be reeaally appreciated!

: implantation happens when the fertilized
egg (now called a blastocyst) has
completed its travel through the fallopian
tube and attaches to the lining of the
uterus. The blastocyst is a cluster of
tiny cells, smaller than the head of a
pin.
Implantation happens on average nine days
(6-12 days) after ovulation and
fertilization.
Most women have no symptoms on the day of
implantation but some report a couple of
drops of blood, which can be either red or
brown or they have mild cramps. This is
also called 'implantation bleeding or
cramping.'
that bleeding is usually no more than a
couple of drops. If it's like a period,
then it's unlikely implantation bleeding.
But most women who become pregnant do not
experience typical implantation bleeding,
and many women who are not pregnant
experience some spotting.

Same Thing...is It Implantation Bleeding? Posted: 05-10-06 15:24pm
I've noticed the same thing with me. My
period was due today (may 10th),but I
usually start in the morning, and it's
always red-colored. Yet today i've only
noticed spotting on and off that's brown
in color and very light. Is this
implantation bleeding? I would go buy a
hpt, but I can't get to the store today.
So any advice is much appreciated, esp if
it isn't this and then I won't have to
waste $ on a test. Thanks a bunch!
