  Hi--coming over from ttc board.
  
  I am 13dpo and I noticed some brownish discharge this morning. My cervix is still high, but my vaginal walls have been super tight the last two days.  I had weird cramps from 7-12dpo that were fleeting and didn't feel like period cramps. I have no other usual period symptoms. Usually I am fairly bloated and craving salt & chocolate. 
  
  Does this sound like implantation bleeding? I never had it with my first and had a chemical last month. I'm trying to stay hopeful, but am also realistic. Thank you! 

  Do you have a positive hpt? Because otherwise it's probably the start of your period. It's against the rules to ask if you're pregnant, even in a roundabout way like you did. Implantation bleeding is pretty rare, and usually only confirmed in retrospect. I.E., you thought you started your period then go on to get a positive test.

  I never asked if I was pregnant. I asked what implantation bleeding looks like.

  Implantation bleeding is typically pink or brown spotting *shrug*. There's no way for anyone to tell you whether or not what you're experiencing is IB or not. 
  
  Like @meggyme said, implantation bleeding is uncommon and can only be confirmed in hindsight. 
  
  .... and people might not assume you're asking if you're KU if you didn't include your other symptoms.

  @lund thank you. The question was geared more toward people who have experienced it. I only included other info to put it in perspective so people could accurately answer the question. For those who had it, I'm curious as to what it looked like.

  I had a tiny drop of red blood once when I wiped and got a BFP 2 days later. I wouldn't have noticed it if I wasn't obsessively checking CM for IF related reasons.

  The two months I had "implantation bleeding," I wasn't actually pregnant. (It wasn't IB, just spotting before my period). The month I got pregnant, no spotting.

  I had implantation bleeding with my last pregnancy. I was about 5 days before my cycle was due and had brownish red bleeding. Very little but more than spotting, and thought my period was starting way early. Lasted 2 days then just stopped, never got heavier, and no associated period symptoms just random bleeding then a missed period 5 days later with positive test. Unfortunately that pregnancy resulted in miscarraige, and have not had implantation with my first successful pregnancy and currently pregnant again without IB.

  I had what I know now was implantation bleeding, but it wasn’t pink or brown like Dr. Google describes

  I had what I know now was implantation bleeding, but it wasn’t pink or brown like Dr. Google describes. It was a small streak of bright red blood. So small it could have been from a popped pimple or something, except I didn’t have a pimple. It happened 8-9DPO and I tested positive 13DPO. I wouldn’t have noticed except I was obsessing over TTC, lol. 
  (Had to repost, couldn’t get my full comment to post originally, or edit the post for some reason!)
