Q: Is It My Period Or Implantation

Hi,

yesterday I received some light reddish bleeding and today too, my af is not due to the 7th of jan and my last one was on the 7th dec and finished on the 13th dec. I have been having sharp pains in my right lower abdonem especially last night when I was trying to sleep and lie on my tummy usually on my period I cramp on my left, it was mainly when I was trying to sleep, I feel nausea but only late at night but no vomiting could this be a very strange period or implantation that they talk about.

I tried on a new top that I recently bought and now it crawls up my tummy, I hope it's pregnancy but does any1 have have any ideas would love to hear them.

Oh yeah by the way my period is irregular but this is like ten days early and I have'nt been ill or stressed and have'nt been takeing any medication and I have been having insomnia and constipation for the past few days.

Its a lot a heavier today looks like it could be my period but still have pains in my right side. Sad

I've never experienced implantation bleeding, so I don't know if your symptoms are typical. Some of the ladies who had bfp's this month complained of cramps one week before af was expected. Do you know when you o'd?

Hi dani! Your cramps could be associated with implantation, but many women do not feel this. However, your bleeding seems way too much to be implantation bleeding. Impl. Bleeding usually only occurs for one day, and it is light red to brown in colour. If you are still bleeding today, or it has been heavy, then I would assume it is your period. B/c you have irregular periods, you say it is "too early" for it to be your af, but that's just the thing with irregular af's....You never know when to expect them!
I would wait a few days, see how you feel, and you could try taking a test, but if it comes out negative, try and wait to see what happens around the 7th of jan (when you said you were expecting next af) and then take another test. If it is still a bfn, and you are still not feeling well, or are experiencing some pregnancy symptoms, call your doctor and get in to see him/her.
Good luck and keep us posted!
