Hello! Hopefully I am posting this to the correct discussion board. My husband and I have been ttc for a little over a year and a half. I'm starting to get frustrated with the negative pregnancy tests and issues we have been having. I have an app on my phone that I track all my periods and ovulation with. My period was due to come on the 15th this month which I did start bleeding on the 15th but it wasn't normal period bleeding. The flow was light and the color was darker/brown. I stopped bleeding then in the evening on the 16th. It is now the 19th and I haven't bled since. My periods are usually very heavy with a lot of cramping and usually last between 6 and 8 days. I took a pregnancy test on Monday after the bleeding stopped and it was negative. I took another test this morning and it was negative as well. I read a article that said sometimes the urine test won't show pregnancy until 5 days after the implantation bleeding, I also read an article that said there is no such thing as implantation bleeding. I'm just so confused. I am going to try and take another test on Friday and see what happens. Do you think I could be pregnant?

These responses have been much tamer than usual! Everyone must be in a great mood. I don't mean that to be rude, @shank2012 , it is just the way it is. We cannot tell you anything more than the HPT tells you, and unfortunately it is telling you that you are not pregnant at this time. Implantation bleeding is a very rare occurrence and even if it does happen, is rather light (like a few drops, not like you're describing).
If you are temping and charting to confirm ovulation and not just counting to the 14th day of your cycle, great! If not, now would be a good time to start and a good time to consult with an RE about what is going on. Chart in the meantime so you can go into your consult with some information. Fertility Friend has AWESOME tutorials and really teaches you things you will NEVER have learned in health class.
