Implantation similar to a period

[mzswizz]

Has anyone experienced implantation like a period. My period came 11 days before the due date. My normal cycle is 33-36 days usually heavy when it first starts heavy with cramps and lasts only 7 days. My cycle never is early than 33 days if anything it will be late. My cycle started around CD24 started as spotting gotten heavier to use a pad a day and it was red. Then in the day it was heavy and then in the late afternoon it gets so light that I can wear a panty liner and then in the morning it would go back to how it was before. It has been doing this for 8 days now. It looks like it is ending today though. Has anybody experienced implantation like this and was pregnant?

i have had period like bleeding for a day and a half from cd 14, dont know what it is, if it was ovulation bleeding then thats a bummer as could not bd cause of it but i think it was too early for implantation bleed.
It will be interesting to see what others put.
Good luck

im kind of in the same boat as you hun, my cycle is usually 30 days only this cyle on day 28 i took what i thought was my period, it too is coming and going light and heavy, i took a hpt just before period arrived and got a positive result, although this is nearly the 4th day of bleeding for me so my hopes are not very high,,,it will be interesting to read what others put here and may even shed some light for me aswell... :babydust: to all xx

Do you see dark red blood and does it look like it is your period? Also you are pregnant right? Sorry if I am asking alot of questions

The month before last, I got my hopes up as 10 days before my period was due, I had one spot of red blood the first day, the second day I had two then the third day I had nothing. Then fourth day I had about four spottings of red blood. (Sorry TMI) But my periods are usually '1st Day' Red/Brown medium flow. '2nd Day' Red heavy flow. '3rd Day' Red/Brown medium flow. '4th Day' Brown spotting. As you can see, the bleeding I had was extremely different, even the consistency, texture and smell was different - I was always EXACTLY 28 days too, I had only ever been 1 day late, apart from that it's always 28 days. So I got my hopes up soo much as I really thought it could be implantation bleeding, especially as I'd been having positive symptoms too. Unfortunately I wasn't pregnant as my period from the beginning of the abnormal bleeding came exactly 28 days again. I have no idea why it did it, nor why I had similar symptoms (like going sick twice one morning, sore boobs, headaches, cramps etc).
My hopes were on cloud nine, me and my partner were so disappointed afterwards.
I'm sorry mine isn't a positive story, but try not to get your hopes up - I wish you the very best, and that this could be it for you
Best of luck

ive taken 2 clear blue digital tests mzswizz and both came up positive, although ive been advised to wait until i finish bleeding completely b4 i test again, my AF usually starts brown and by day 2 is very heavy and clotty, only this time it began reddy pink and tiny, barely noticeable clots (sorry tmi)

i really hope you get a positive end to this although i got pos results, and many preg symptoms still ongoing, ive been told it may have been a chemical pregnancy, unfortunately i wont know for a few days yet xx

 

[mzswizz]

Thanks for the help I really appreciate it. I am going to wait until Monday to test. Usually on the 1st day my period is dark red n heavy and has clots/lining throughout the cycle until the 7th day. I hope all is well with your pregnancy and contests to you. For now we are patiently waiting.

mzswizz, I had tought I was starting my persiod last month when I started bleeding about cd22, I'm ushually a 28 day girl. It was only for one day but was bright red and substantial, more than spotting.

Turned out i got my BFP on christmas. Hope the best for you!! Good luck!

 

[mzswizz]

Thanks for your experience. It really gave me hope. Yesterday (the 8th day) it was light pink the whole day. It finally completely stop around 3 in the morning. I am going to wait until Monday to test. Since I lasted so long which my normal cycle lasts only 7 days, can it still be implantation?

This is interesting. I usually start spotting at around 10 dpo (getting that check out in a couple weeks), but this month, I began spotting at 5 dpo, and haven't stopped. I'm now at 10 dpo, and it has become progressively worse everyday, but still no flow.

It started as small brown spots, then pinkish/brown tints in my cm, then went to dark brown. Then I saw a blob of red, and now it's back to being a faded brown colour.

I have LP issues and getting my physical done in two weeks, along with an ultrasound. I'm also making an appt with my ob/gyn. At first, I had some hope that it was IB, then I lost hope as it progressed, and now, this thread is making me wonder...I have been taking Vitex and B complex, and it is has been helping me, so it's weird that mine has arrived early.

mzswizz, are you under a lot of stress?

 

[mzswizz]

It finally stopped but I am still going to wait until Monday to test. I am not under any stress at all. When it started, I was just going to go pee with no care in the world. Then that's when I noticed spotting on CD24. My cycles are CD33-36 mainly CD35 so I was in shock and automatically took it as IB. Then on the 3rd day it started to get heavier but it is not like my normal period. My period is never early also on the 1st day it is a heavy flow and is dark red and won't become lighter til the 6th or 7th day. Also I usually have cramps minutes after my AF starts. With the spotting I received no sign I didn't have any cramps and it was spotting. Days later it began to turn into a light period for me because I only used a pad a day which isn't normal for me because I have to buy super-overnight pads because of my flow. Also, it didn't smell like my period and when I used the bathroom it would go to the bottom of the toilet and it looked like sand because it just crumbles or it stays at the top and looks like dried blood but on water sorry TMI. Something is going on and my Husband reminded me about the last time I was pregnant that I had heavy bleeding that lasted like two weeks and it was the same color and I found out later I was pregant. So I am going to test and see what happens from there.

i am going through a similar thing at the moment...i had a normal AF on the 13dec..i am still trying to work out my cycle as ive just had the implanon removed, but from what i remember i had a 29 day cycle. i started bleeding on the 4th jan, it was extrememly light and dark brown colour...its carried on till today, still just a very light flow, and the dark brown colour. if this my AF this would mean i had a 19 day cycle...very confused at the mo

 

[mzswizz]

do you think it's a posibility that your body is trying to adjust itself. Also did you have unprotected sex after your period? When is your next period due? Mines is due Sunday Jan. 9th but from what I experienced I don't think it will be coming. This confusing situation started 11 days before my AF was due pretty much almost 2 weeks before my actual AF. Will keep everyone posted on the results of my HPT on Monday.

 

[littlelady23]

hi mzswizz

yes its a possibility its just my body trying to readjust..but i thought as i'd a normal AF that things were back on track. yeah we had lots of unprotected sex as i was unsure when i'd be ovulating so pretty much every other day. going by my old 29 day cycle i would be due AF on the 11th jan. have done a couple of HPT but all negative so far. just very confused at the moment, as this bleed is nothing like normal AF..just been to the loo and checked and it seems to be a lot less than yesterday(sorry TMI)

 

[mzswizz]

I'm nervous to take a test because I don't know what to expect and maybe it's still to early to detect the HCG if you are pregnant. I wish you good luck on your situation. Also I just want to know did it ever turn red? Because mines is like a light period compared to my normal periods and I don't know anything that will cause it to come too early because when I'm stressed it is late not early. I am soooo lost but I have a feeling that it is a good possibility of being pregnant. Hopefully this is it for us.

 

[littlelady23]

im hoping it is just too early for the HCG to show. yeah there has been little bits of red but mostly a brown colour. oh i cant help myself with the tests...i find it hard not to do one everyday. I am going to try and hold off till wednesday to do another. what date is ur AF due? best of luck to u, i probably wont be online over the weekend but i'll be back on monday. fingers crossed

mcsmyth1 . . . . .I am in a very similar situation to you my AF was due on 3 Jan, but on 31 December when I went to the toilet there was light red blood when I wiped, just thought it was the start of AF, that has now continued since, with a little spotting on a pantyliner, but nothing more significant.

I did a superdrug PT on 3 jan, and it showed negative. But when things continued the same I did another yesterday morning (I had bought 2 packs of 2, no idea why) and it was positive. I called the Dr's yesterday and spoke with a Nurse who could not really give much advice other than to say I could go and see the DR or go to the EPU. I kinda know that if I am pregnant it is not going to stick this time, so just going to wait and see what happens next week.

I will prob text this time next week and hopefully this 'bleeding' will stop.

I just find it so strange but glad to have found this thread.

Good luck to you getting your BFP

 

[mzswizz]

My AF due is Jan. 9th and I will test on Monday so I will be on with the news on Monday. Hopefully it will be me saying i got a BFP!

ty littlechimpma, and i wish you all the best aswell.... just an update on my situation,,,

i am now at the end of day 4 of this bleeding and it has basically stopped, my regular period lasts 6 days, always 6 days, this time its only 4. i am going to do another hpt tomorrow as i am still gettin early pregnancy symptoms and i dont think its all in my head this time as my mother and fiance think the same.....


MZSWIZZ---- i know exactly what u mean about the "crumby" bleeding as mine has been identical, 3 out of these 4 bleeding days, ive managed to get by with pantyliners, and my period is usually on the heavy side...

i really hope anyone else experiencing this gets a good result, i have a lot of doubts about my own situation though, will update tomorrow,,, babydust to all xx

 

[mzswizz]

Thanks for the help. The bleeding finally stopped completely late yesterday evening which means it lasted for 8 days. My AF never is early, lasts for ONLY 7 days, automatically begins heavy (uses overnight and super pads like 2 or 3 a day) and continues until it gets light around the end of the 6th day early 7th day. I considered this a light period which is unusual for me and I have had 5 months of regular cycles after the miscarriage in April 2010 so why would I just have a strange period like this out of nowhere. My LMP was dec. 6th-12th and then spotting received dec.30th. Light period started on Jan. 3rd-6th which consisted of orange/red blood, bright red, dark red, crummy, enough to wear a pad a day and the weird thing is from morning to evening it will be light-medium heavy flow and from the evening to the the next morning it would be light enough to just wear a panty liner and then the cycle continues. Also I noticed that it wasn't really alot on the pad but it usually comes out when I use the bathroom. Hopefully I get my BFP!! Good luck to everyone.
