I' m writing from the NJ wedding board! Well to get to the point, I don?t know if what I have is just an early light period or Implantation Bleeding. I usually get my periods around the 22,23,24,25 every single month. Well yesterday my breast were very tender which I found early and then I was spotting brown(sorry TMI), also every time I go to the bathroom there is a lil bit of dark blood in the urine. Everything is continuing on today I just have a panty liner on and it just has a little bit of brown stains on it. Every time I go to the bathroom and clean there is blood on the tissue. I also have some minor cramping and fatigue. Please note that my periods are always very regular and also VERY heavy and never early. Could this be Implantation Bleeding anyone experience something similar?

TIA

Have you POAS yet? Might be your first step here since we cannot look into your vag.

I'd POAS. That will be slightly more accurrate than anything we can tell you. But yes, implantation bleeding is usually light and brownish in color.

Yes, it could be, but it's more likely that you're getting your period.

Just because you usually have regular cycles doesn't mean that they won't be off every once in a while. GL!

It sure sounds like it to me. I'd wait until the 22nd to test though since it's on or around the time you normally start AF. A pregnancy will not detect hormones prior to or during implantation.

Best of luck!

I meant pregnancy test!

You will only know if your spotting can be attributed to pregnancy after you get a postive HPT. Implantation bleeding is pretty rare.

Sounds like you got your period to me. Not everyone gets implantation bleeding but from what I've heard its extremely light pink spotting. And no one is always regular.

What's a POAS? Sorry girls, I have never posted here before.

It's "pee on a stick."

Also implantation bleeding is fairly common. I'm sure you've done your own research, but here is a good link:

Pee on a stick. i.e. take a home pregnancy test (hpt).

I had light spotting a few days before I had a positive hpt. It was 13 days past ovulation (dpo) and 14 dpo, then I tested positive on 16 dpo.

Implantation bleeding may be common for pregnant ladies (20-30% of them have it), but it is rare for women trying to get pregnant.

Here's why:

Consider a group of 100 women who are trying to get pregnant, and let's see how many have random spotting in a given luteal phase.

Of those 100, if 20 are pregnant (20% chance of getting pregnant each cycle), that means that 4-6 of them had implantation spotting according to the 20-30% statistic from FF. Also, 12 of them had spotting that wasn't due to implantation (using the ~15% statistic from FF).

So, of the 16-18 ladies that spotted, only 4-6 was from implantation.

4-6 out of 100 ladies. That's why people say it's rare.
