i think i have got implantation bleeding two i ovulated on the 5th may 2006 and got this bleeding on the 13th may 2006 8dpo

This might sound crazy but I think I am pregnant. This would be my 5th pregnancy. My first one I took the test long past when af was due. My 2nd one we lost to miscarriage at 7 weeks. My 3rd and 4th I tested the day af was due. With my last child I just KNEW I was preg. This time I know i am. I ovulated around the 13th and bd on the days around that. I took tests but they are all neg. Knowing its too soon to be taking those things. Today I went to the bathroom (sorry if tmi). After that I wiped blood on the tp. Since then there has been no blood at all. I keep checking. I am not due for af till the 30th. Does anyone know what this might be? Sorry so long. Thanks very much

Hi Everyone, I have been reading the posts here, its very informative.I have been on the pill for the last couple of years. 4 wks ago I had severe cramping, in fact i was doubled over with pain. This happened over a 24 hour period and happened twice. A wk later I had what seemed like a period, only it was very light & lasted about 3 days and came around the normal time for me. Now I am due to get my period in a wks time but feel strange. My tummy is double its normal size, I have cramping pains almost all the time, bb tender, terrible nausea, feel like i should be eating but then cant and I have even worse lower back pain. Two days ago I sneezed and I had a horrible pain on the right side of my abdomen - felt like ovarian pain. Took a home preg test this morning and it was negative and I was very disappointed. Not to mention I am so scratchy I bite my husband's head off every chance i get. I dont know what to think. I feel pregnant but dont know if I am. Sorry for the long post.

Hi Ladies, just want to say its great to have so many people offering their stories, its like discovering a whole new world of understanding ... its fantastic ..I have a question ... When most people mention "bleeding" or spotting" i have a slight trouble defining the difference between the two. Not having a regular cycle confuses me when i have a "brownish show" of blood. It is not spotting, nor is it heavy. It is intermittent through the day and by no means constant. I have slight discomfort. Does this appear familiar for IB?

It could be implantation bleeding. Is it around the time of AF? Take a test in a few weeks to find out.

Leslie- It sounds like you and I are in sink my last af was May 4 ovulated may 21 had s_x the previous 5 days and on 21 and 22 next af was due on June 4 I have taken 2 tests both neg. I am now 8 days late and have had most of the same symptoms of my previous 2 pregnancy . I am going to continue waiting and retest in a week good luck with yours

It is so interesting reading everyone's posts on this topic. I just wanted to share what I have experienced. I have one beautiful son who is 4yrs now and honestly with him we didn't even ttc. We just suddenly decided and BOOM I had a positive hpt just before by next period was due (about 2 days before), no implantation bleeding NOTHING! We have currently been trying for our second for 13 months now and everytime I had all the prego symptoms (I think it was all in my head because I wanted it sooo much) but NO BABY, NO POSITIVES. Last month I was so sure I was prego that I bought an early hpc and it was negative, I was so disappointed. We didn't give up and so this month we tried again and the hpt showed positive but I got my period on my due date and bled for the normal amount of days. Of course I rushed to my doctors and explained the situation..... he told me that STRESSING about being pregnant or not can have adverse effects on you body and this period is just implantation bleeding. Therefore.... I am pregnant BUT I had a full length normal period called implantation bleeding. Sometimes implanation bleeding can so be confused with a period (like me),,,,, So for all of the want to be mums please don't give up hope and just get checked out by Dr. before you dismiss any bleeding as a period!! Also just another thing, apparently it gets harder to concieve as you get older. With my first my husband and I were 24 years old now we are 30... We were so disappointed until this month becaue we NEVER had to try for our first. This time it took us 13 months!! I guess you appreciate it more when you try for it. I AM SO EXCITED THAT i WANT MY BUMP TO START SHOWING ALREADY. Good luck to every single one of you that are trying!! I hope you all get the BUMP you prey for :)

Shazz, I don't want to think negative, but I would get a second opinion on what your doc. told you. If you had a POSITIVE hpt, and THEN started bleeding, there is no way your bleeding is implantation bleeding. Inorder for your hpt to come up positive, implantation would have had to occure already. That is when the HCG starts being produced to be detected by an HPT. I had the same thing. Positive hpt, and blood test, and got my AF a week later. Well, it was a m/c. It stinks, but it happens. If it is implantation bleeding, I am happy for you, but just be causious. It sounds a little weird to me. Good luck

my answer is more like a question. I am fifteen days into my cycle and am spotting light pink/barely red - i am usually so regular that for this to be af is too soon. so what i am wondering is - could this be implantation bleeding???

i thought i was 6wk pg and had some spotting. i went to the er and was told i was 4 wk pg they did a us and said that eveything was fine. that there was no blood in the uterus, they said the bleed was prob ip bleeding but now 2 dys later its still here i've been bleeding for 7 dys +, off and on and only when i pee and i wipe. i have 2 kids and both pregnancys were fine. im really scared. if this has happenned 2 anyone please let me know. thank you in advance.

Dune, unless you have a really short cycle, I doubt it is implantation bleeding. Sometimes womans ovaries bleed when you ovulate, that happened to me once. So it is possible that is what it was. Mary, I had light bleeding w/ my first pregnancy. It is completely normal. Especially if you went to the doctor and they told you everything was find. your uterus is very sensitive during this time, and there is extra blood flow to support the baby, so it is not unusual to bleed lightly during ealry pregnancy. If it woud turn into a heavy, period like flow w/ cramps, then I would start to worry that something was wrong. Otherwise, I wouldn't stress about it too much.

Hi Tammy, I did take in your advice and went to another doctor for a second opinion, done a blood test yesterday and got the results today- I am Pregnant. I know that it doesn't sound right but who's to argue with nature, With my first child I didn't have anything of the sort, And with this one, honestlt if we weren't actively ttc I would've dismissed the blleeding for a period as I had all my usual pms signs and bleed for the normal duration and normal flow. So confusing but everything is normal and I CAN'T WAIT :)

Tammy276: Thank you for your advice. It did make me feel better, but on sunday I had what they called a complete miscarriage.

Tammy276 you were right - I called my doctor's office and they said the same thing - that it was most likely ovulation but it lasted for seven days - which I find kind of strange - we actually had to go through ivf to get pregnant and have a 3 year old daughter who will be 4 next month. I had my right tube removed because of pid and the changes of us conceiving with one tube are pretty slim. But I am the eternal optimist and hope that it will happen some day. Thanx

hi everyone this is my first time on the forum, i am a mum of 5 beautiful children and have been trying for over 2yrs to have baby number 6. both my husband and i have had our fertility tested and i am fine but my husbands sperm test came back low. this is why the drs think it is taking so long for us to get pregnant this time around but hey he has already fathered 5 children and whos to say his sperm count wasnt low then. we have been told to just keep trying but like all of you on this forum it is so heart breaking every month waiting to see if we accomplished our greatest goal in life. but i do have a word of advice for all those women trying so desperately for their own little miracles, from a spiritual point of view i believe that our babies choose us as their parents to love and nurture them and they also choose their time of conception, so in letting go of the control and leaving it up to our unborn children to decide the right time takes the pressure off us every month. instead of constantly driving ourselves crazy each and every month maybe we need to let go and trust in our little ones to just come to us when the time is right for them....

Sorry to hear about your m/c Mari. I had 2, so I know how it feels. It stinks, but I guess it's just natures way of telling us that something just wasn't right with the pregnancy. It's hard at first, but it will get easier, trust me.
