Is this very common? I didnt have it when I got pg w/ Ollie, so I'm not sure what its like. Is it like spotting? Or like the beginning of a period? Thanks!!!

    I didn't have it but from what I understand it's more like spotting than period bleeding.

    I did spot when I was pregnant with Ben.  Right when I should have gotten my period.  And it totally felt like I was getting my period.  I odn't know if that was "implantation bleeding" or just regular old spotting.  I don't really understand the idea of implantation bleeding actually.  It's not like the egg "crashes" into your uterus and would disrupt the lining enough to bleed.   I haven't ever seen a real explanation for it.

    Well, from what I've read, the fertilized egg releases an enzyme that eats away at the uterine lining so that it can burrow in. I assume that the bleeding is from the lining that gets displaced? (I realize it's a tiny amount, so maybe that's not it.)

     (TMI to follow)...I had the faintest bit of implantation bleeding. I just noticed a pinkish tint when I wiped.

    Thanks ladies! I did some reading too, and I think what I have is possibly ovulation spotting (?). I think its too early for implantation bleeding, since my last period ended about 2 weeks ago. Either that, or I am having another period, but I dont know if its even possible to have another so soon.

    We use condoms, usually. We would be fine if I was pg, I was just hoping to get thru the summer before ttc, since I was hugely pg last summer :) I want to enjoy the sunshine and not be hugging the toilet this year! I am hoping to start charting, if my cycles are regulated. I really dont want to go back on anything hormonal, since I get really bad side effects (tons of nausea, etc). even on the lowest dose.

    lol, I dont think I am though, now that I've "researched" it. :) I think its just from ovulating, which I would be according to the ovulation calculator.
