I had it with both pregnancies. It happened both times around the time I was supposed to get my period. So, I had implantation bleeding instead of a period. It was mostly dark brown spotting, not heavy at all. A panty liner was all I needed. I did have an ocassion where it was red, but mostly it was brown. It was only red that one time and t was no more than the size of a quarter maybe a silver dollar. I hope this helps. If you have any more questions feel free to ask. ↑

I just got a posititve!!! Yes I had implantation bleeding around the time I ovulated. It was dark brownish color at first and then it ended wih a bright watered down red color. It lasted for 5 days. ↑

I had found out I was pregnant five days before my period. So I was very upset the day my period was due and I had a moderate dark brown discharge. Which I assumed was me having a chemical pregnancy. But when I noticed there was scant amounts the next day and my breasts were still tender then I realised it was implantation bleeding, something I'd never had with my six other pregnancies. Which all were miscarriages. ↑

I had implantation bleeding 6 dpo which was 9 days before my period was due, i only noticed it when checking my cervix that evening, it was bright pink/red colour and there wasn;t even enough to seep onto my underwear, i wonder had i not been checking my cervix would i have even noticed it? it was a minimal amount and thats the only time it happened lasted one day. ↑

hi cat -i just read you rpost. your implanation bleeding lasted for 5 days ! wow-was it enough for a pad everyday or very scant.? OHHH- if anyone can answer -how long should we wait to test -if we believe it is implantation bleeding ? ↑

I tested the week I had the implantation bleeding even though I was certain I was pregnant. It was negative. I did it again a week later and it was positive, but very faint. Still in denial( don't know why) I tested again 2 weeks later, it was very dark. It really depends on your HCG levels and the test sensitivity. I got a regular test each time, but I know there are some tests taht are very sensative. They are the ones you can use to test 4 days before your missed period. Might be worth a try, but since I was certain I couldn't justify the extra expense. ↑

Hi there kim,
I had implantation bleeding, and I got it on the day my period was due, but it was only a smear of pinky discharge. I wore a couple of tampons assuming my AF was going to come full throttle, but all there was were small spotts of pink. This happened for two days then stopped. I was due for AF on the 25th of oct. and I tested on the 28th and got a positive. Hope this helps. i also had mild period like cramps and my breasts were not tender until the day after I tested. Good Luck!!! ↑

I found out I was pregnant at about 2.5 weeks. So I experience implantation after knowing I was pg. It was a light pink to brown spotting that went to a slight red after 3-4 days with little cramping. It scared me to be honest, becasue I thought it meant the baby was in trouble. But after a dr's appointment I found out what it was. ↑
Name: ann | Date: Nov 1st, 2005 4:14 PM
so is this implantation morelike a spotting or can it be like a weird period. from the post i just read i guess it can also be red at times also....? ↑
Name: Amanda C. | Date: Nov 1st, 2005 4:34 PM
Yea, it can be red. Don't get me wrong, it was nothing like a period. It was a little watery and it varied from pink to brown and finally red. I thought I was begining to miscarry. Now I am about 11 weeks along and the baby is right on schedule. ↑

when does implanation bleeding occur ? when we expect af or before ?. or does it really depend on when we ovulate that month ? i guess the question id---HOW MANY DPO DOES IMPLANATION BLEEDING OCCUR ? (if it does occur). ↑

My implantation bleeding started at 6 dpo and only lasted one day, then at 12dpo i got a temp rise in my chart making it triphasic, this was the day i got my BFP. Implantation can take anything from 5 dpo up to 12dpo, some even take longer. In my case i'd say the bleeding at 6dpo was the start of implantation and the temp rise was the end of implantation, its only when implantation has FINISHED that HCG is given out therefore i'd wait around 6 days after bleeding to test. TO JILL- It does depend on when you ovulate, text book implantation is between 5dpo-12dpo. If theres anyother questions you ladies have, fire away!! ↑

I had implantation bleeding 4 days before my period was due. No pain - just very light pinkish coloured bleeding that lasted for around a day. For me it was heavier than spotting, more like the light bleeding that I usually get on the day my period starts. ↑

I had inplantation bleeding at 6 and 1/2 weeks and It was light brownish and lasted probably two days and when ever I had sex for about a day. ↑

I had implantation bleeding with my first and again with this pregnancy - this time it was cd18. sometimes woman bleed a little bit when their af is suppose to start - that's different than implantion bleeding. Implantation bleed takes place about 5-8 days after the egg and sperm join - they then travel up the flopian tube and burrow in the uterus and that burrowing is what causes implantation bleeding. Hope this helps. ↑

I had a smear of brownish discharge at 16dpo and a little the next morning. Then it went away. I think it was implantation bleeding. ↑

Jess - are you still there? I hadn't noticed you are a midwife - I have LOTS of questions!! nice to know you're there - ↑
Name: hi | Date: Nov 11th, 2005 12:14 AM
Have any of you experienced cramping along with the implantation bleeding/spotting?? We have been trying for two months now and think i may be experiencing this! The spotting is a brownish discharge/very light accompanied by the crampy feeling right before my period. It started 6 days before my period is supposed to come. Should I take a test tomorrow or wait a while?? I also have increased urination and breast tenderness.
thanx ↑
Name: to hi | Date: Nov 11th, 2005 10:49 AM
The tests are most accurate 30 days from the first day of your last af. If you want to take one, though - go ahead if it's neg wait a week and try again. The crampy feeling usually doesn't start until a bit later - but you never know. If your af is suppose to start in 4 or 5 days hang in there - waiting is something to get use to - first waiting to know - then waiting the other months!! Hope to hear about your bfp within a week! ↑

Thanks for the response,k it was very helpful... I will wait the 4 more days to take the test again. I took it this am and it turned out negative. Still experiencing some spotting which is getting a little heavier now. ALso have other symptoms ...tired, sore brsts. How long does this spotting last? I've been reading 5 days for most. ↑

I always have I.B. and cramps. The major difference is the amount of blood (less with IB) and the amount of cramping (less intense). The only time I didn't have Implantation Bleeding the embryo didn't implant properly--miscarriage at 5.5 weeks). So in my case, as in some other peoples ( I assume) it is a good sign. ↑
Name: to hi | Date: Nov 14th, 2005 11:55 AM
I had cramping and implantation bleeding both times. I suppose it varies from woman to woman, becasue I notice here some women said they had it and others did not. Congrats to you, it sounds very promising! ↑

Hi! I am sure that I had implant bleeding but the doctors cannot confirm it. I have read alot about it and am sure that is what I had! It started as a pinkish discharge and then lead to a slight bloody discharge. But there was no pain! This happened about 3 weeks into my pregnancy which is apparently when the implantation occurs. I did not even bleed enough to have to wear a panty liner or pad. I have had no bleeding since.

well I know im in the wrong board but couldnt help but put my two cents in. Im currently 19 weeks but in my sixth week I spotted and it was brown sometimes with more or less. I also had some little tissue pass but was always brown, I also had real bad cramps so I thought it was over for me. About two months later it stopped and the baby is fine and is kicking and jumping around. ↑
Name: vanessa | Date: Nov 15th, 2005 1:22 PM
I've had some brown spotting for 4 days now, enogh to wear a panty liner, also some brown tissue, no pain, no tender breast or cramps yet, I had a pregnancy test this morning with an equate test that is supposed to give results 7 days before period is due and it was negative I still have 6 more days till my period is due. When am I supposed to test again? ↑
Name: to vanessa | Date: Nov 15th, 2005 1:23 PM

For those that had implamentation bleeding, were you temping at the time? Did your temperatures fall? ↑
Name: N | Date: Nov 16th, 2005 10:46 AM
Vanessa - Just an FYI...I took an EPT, the one that is supposed to show results up to 4 days before your expected period. It showed negative each time. Finally, the day I was supposed to start, I tested with one of those $1 store tests, and it showed a positive! So it was first to show a + and it isn't even an early result test! I also had brown spotting for one full day just a few days before AF was due. So, you never know! Good luck! ↑
