I'm 18 years old and I think i'm in
trouble my last period was about first
week of april I think the 6th was first
day it ended about 10th and I had sex on
my boyfriend b-day the 18 we forgot to use
a condom and i'm not under any birth
control at all. My periods are pretty
normal give or take a few days but now i,m
seem to be spotting which I expected to
turn into a period it has not its just
faint brown stuff and maybe a little red I
told my cousin because I have never had
this happen and she told me that when she
was pregnant she had the same thing only
it was implantation bleeding i'm not sure
what that is? And my boyreind and I just
broke up and I dont want to freak him out
he,'s grounded and may not graduate from
high school and I just got into 3 colleges
and am trying to make a decision on which
to go to and ever sice my cousin said this
yesterday i've been going crazy. Should I
take a pregnancy test? She said to go to
the doctor but I dont want to tell my
parents unless I am. I thought it might
be weight loss but that was barley 5
pounds and I have dropped more with no
period problems. I have funny cramp and
feel sick and my boobs feel little werid.
I'm scared .

: 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.
