I posted earlier about me being worried because im 8 days late and I had sex 18 days ago ive got some symptoms but what I really want to know is when your pregnant you have spotting but I dont know if I am yet and I started to spot yesterday and it really hasnt stopped but its a brownish pink color and sometimes its a darker pink but its not heavy at all. My period has never done that before with out flowing heavy. I was wondering if this is normal for someone being pregnant and how long it usually lasts??? I was wondering because im taking a test this week sometime but I would like to know what anyone else thinks please!!

Many of these girls talk about implantation bleed which is very common. I never got it though. Just be more careful and try to refrain from sex while bleeding (any kind of bleeding) if you possible may be pregnant.

Good luck

I am going through the same thing. You can be pregant to. Someone told me to hold off for a week to take a test because your body is going through changes.

It should be ok to take the test if you are a week late. It should read clearly.

As for the implantation bleeding some women might describe it as pinkish and some as dark brown or sometimes both.
