Implantation bleeding?

Nicky820

Hi everyone! I went through infertility treatments when I got pregnant with my first who is almost 3 so I have no idea what a normal conception is like. I have been getting regular periods, and trying to track ovulation. I am 1 week past ovulation according to my charts and today I had a bit of spotting. It's red, but not super heavy,but enough to have to use a maxi pad and I've never had mid cycle bleeding before (well not in the last 2 years at least). If you have had implantation bleeding, what was it like? Could this be that? If you did have implantation bleeding how many days past did you get a positive pregnancy test? Thanks so much for the help in advance!

The general conscience is a pad/tampon=period.  Are you temping?  Do you know for sure you just ovulated?

Implantation bleeding is almost always recognized in hindsight. I agree that if it was enough for a pad, it could be your period, but spotting also happens just because, so you really won't know unless you get a +. You can start testing 9-10 DPO and get a pretty accurate result if you know for sure when you ovulated (see questions in the quote). Whether or not this was IB has no bearing on when you should test.

With DS#2 I did have bleeding. I thought I got my period a week early and bled very lightly for a few days. (Used a pad expecting a period) After it stopped after a few days, I thought this was unusual, I took and early pregnancy test and it was +!
