Implantation Bleeding

[Shananigans12]

So im new to this. I, like many women, have had missed periods due to stress but this is unlike missed periods Ive had. I had my last ACTUAL period in the beginning of Sept. Unfortunately my boyfriend knows my period schedule better than I do. He said it was around the second week. So lets say Sept. 14th. Well, on Oct 15th we got a hotel room, and we were both thinking lets try this and see what happens. He did try for 3 months with his ex a few years back and they couldn't get pregnant.

Well, I ovulated like a week later, and have yet to have my actual full blown (heavy bleedingwith really bad cramps) period. I started spotting yesterday morning. Very light. I change my tampon every 4 hours and there has only been very little blood on them. I have gone to the bathroom 3x already today. and usually its once or twice a day. I don't have tender breasts, or ANY cramping and my blood is dark red/brown in color. I looked up IB and it says that it happens 6-12 days after conceiving. Well the day I "conceived" is the 15th today is the 27th which makes it the 12th day. So I could very well be pregnant.

Heres the kick:

Ive taken 3 home pregnancy tests 2 a couple weeks ago and the other last Friday the 24th...and those were negative. I went to my family planning and had my annual pap smear done and they also took a urine sample and that test came back negative. I have another apt this Wednesday for another test.

Does anyone have any advice?? I'm really confused as to whether I am pregnant or not. We both want me to be. So its exciting but nerve racking as this will obviously be my first time.

my understanding of IB is that it's bright pinkish and very very light. It is meant to only happen for 1-2 days but every woman is different. Maybe wait a couple of days and retest. If it was Implantation then it would take min 48hrs for Hcg to start developing....Good luck xx
