Pregnancy Info HOME

Just an update... I took several home preg tests and one blood test in the past few weeks- all negative. My symptoms have pretty much gone away (or maybe they were in my head). Anyway, if it was a period that I had, it was extremely light and very early. I'm waiting until the 24th when I should start again and we will see what happens. Either my period was irregular for the first time ever, or I will be REALLY suprised and be pregnant going on several weeks now! From everyone's entries it is clear that every woman's bodies and symptoms are different. Makes it kind of hard to know what to expect....

Here is another story just to illustrate how different everyone really is. I was away on holiday in canada for 3 weeks and two weeks after my last period got what I thought was another period. I didn't think too much of it as I had had a short 21 day cycle before. It lasted 5 days and was a light period, but not so light that I took much notice of it. I had sore b___st and was extremely tired, but thought it may be prolonged jet lag. After the bleeding stopped (after about 5 days) the next time my husband and I had intercourse (about 3 days later) I had bleeding, it was red and brown in colour and I thought it was left over period bleeding. A few day later we had intercourse again and I had more bleeding. I didn't have any spotting at any other time except after s_x. We still had a few days left of of 3 week holiday so waited til I got back to the UK to get it checked out by the doctor. I was still feeling very tired all the time and my b___sts were still sore and a bit swollen. by the time I got back and headed to the doctor I had spotting of a very brown thick substance, daily. The doctor checked my cervix first and had some tests done to make sure there wasn't anything wrong there, mainly due to the bleeding after s_x. I waited a week for the results to come through and finally got them on a friday. They all came back normal so booked an appointment on the monday to see what alse it could be. I still had spotting this whole time of the brown substance. I wasn't feeling right and something just felt weird so I got a home pregnancy and it came up positive! This was all very confusing because by this stage I had been spotting for 2 weeks and had what I thought was a period before that. The monday appointment confirmed that I was pregnant and was sent to have a scan to make sure it was all ok. The scan revealed I was 7 weeks pregnant and there was even a heartbeat! They said that it was implantation bleeding and in some women it can last days or weeks. I am now nearly 8 weeks and I am still spotting the same brown substance (old blood) and the doctors said it could last another week, or another month there is no telling. Implantation bleeding is very confusing, as I had what I thought was a period and spotting for weeks now. I hope this helps someone else out there.

I started spotting on the 13th of this month and have had some each day since...it has varied from brownish to light pink and just a little when i went to the bathroom to a few drops on a pad. I would have started my period on the 13th as well, which would be 14 dpo. I have NEVER had such a light period before so i took a pregnancy test....I'm PREGNANT!!!!!!

I have been nauteous for three weeks now. Not feeling well , tired, cranky, I have been having mild cramping for two weeks now . I am supposed to get my period on Tuesday. But I had verrrrrrry light pink when i urinated this afternoon. I don't remember having implantation bleeding for my son that was almost 16 years ago !! I hope this was inplantation bleeding . I am soooooo nervous. I have the blue veins showing up on my b___sts and the dark line that shows up below your belly b___ton. I had never heard of implantation bleeding before this.

I had light bleeding like what you get at the very start of a period but no actual AF for 3 days and that was when I tested with a HPT and ended up with a BFP.

Congratulations to all you lucky ladies with the positive tests! It is so nice to hear some good news!

I am due for Af tomorrow. Today when I wiped it was pink. I have very light period cramps. Is Implatation Bleeding ever accompanied by light cramps. I miscarried in March and I dont feel like I did then, but I am scared. Any stories would help! Thanks!

kdella2, I had cramping...The day I was supposed to start my period, I felt like I was going to start, but just ended up having cramps and some light blood when I wiped...then found out I was prego!

Thanks for the feedback. When you say "light bleeding" what do you mean? It seems that since I wrote that first post, the bleeding became "spotty" brownish/maroonish. Does this sound positive or do you think its AF? I guess the only way to know is to take a test, but just wondering about others stories!

It was how you describe...at first it was light pink, as the day went on it became darker and more maroonish and was gone the next day. Thats why I came to the pregnancy conclusion and went and got a test. It was like I went through all the stages of my period in one day, but not heavy at all, so I knew something wasn't normal. I would say if you don't get your normal af soon, definitly get a test.

On 24DEC06 Ihad my son. Ihad my first ppaf 18FEB07. Since then nothing. I'm also b___stfeeding. Well on 19MAY07 I went to ER because I was sick they did a preg test and it was -. So later that day I had some pink spotting only when I wiped that ended 21MAY07. So should I take another test or not?

Well if you are b___stfeeding, that may be why your af is not normal. My af didn't return until 7 m after my daughter was born, because I was bf. When it did return, it was abnormal, until after I stopped bf completely. This may explain why you are having spotting and why it came and then left. It all has to do with the hormones that are released while lactating. I would probably wait to see if you have any additional signs :-)

Okay first let me say that I had this same thing with my 2nd child so anyway my husband and I are trying ttc and I should have started on the 25th of this month but instead on the 24th I had like pink drops on my panties so I thought well it's strange that I haven't had cramps because I usually cramp soo bad I cry but no cramps then the next day still just a few pink spots, I used a panty liner and that has gone on for a couple of days now today it's brown slime kind of. sorry for the graphics but anyway so I thought maybe this could be IB so I took a test and it came out neg...now I'm bummed :( I have normal periods every month so like the rest of you I am soo confused. Please tell me what you think :)

Anyone who has updates please let me know, I'd love to know what has ended up happening. I know sometimes people don't find out until way after because of the confusion on whether they had a period or not. Sooo if anyone has any updates please feel free to share. It gives some of us hope :)

FYI- I did have a normal period this month. I guess the one last month was just extremely irregular for me. Anyway, back to the old ttc. (9 months now). However, I purchased some Pre-seed and am going to try that route this month. I'll let you know how it goes- should O early next week! Wish me luck ;-)

Well I think it was my period. I was hopeful, but I took a test again yesterday and it was still neg. I guess our bodies just change and there is no reason for it! Heres to next month!!
