implantation bleeding?
My AF is due on the 5th. I never saw anything with my first 2 boys and wasn't actively trying to conceive so didn't pay really any attention. what does implantation bleeding look like? Maybe I'm just getting AF early, but I just peed and when I wiped myself I noticed like specs of bright red blood (tiny droplets about the size of a pin head) each time I wiped. Probably about 10 pin head tiny spots. What do you think? Thanks!!

Hard to say really could be either!

test! i had 6 pregnancies and never had implantation bleeding. this last time af was due. i kept getting negative hpt but i got positive opk's. i went in and had lab work done. positive. hcg was 200 they said come back in 2 days.. that night i noticed spotting in my underwear. when i wiped lots and lots of bright red blood. then it was heavy for days. i would bled alot of bright red blood and then it stopped. i didn't go back in because i thought i had a miscarriage. i finally went in just before christmas to see why af never came back.. i was 11 weeks pregnant and there was a baby flipping around in there. doc says it could have been implantation spotting or i lost another twin, who knows but im thinking it was implantation spotting. good luck

Thanks, Ladies. I looked around online and it sounds like its NOT implantation bleeding. That is usually more blood and brownish in color or very dark red (old blood). This was really like pin pricks of bright red blood, so was probably something else, maybe the start of AF....it's rare, but I have had a 21 day cycle (which is today) so maybe I'm on a shorter cycle this month? Thanks again for your feedback & Happy New Year!

implantation bleeding is usually brown or pink-tinged CM, but it doesn't mean it's not implantation bleeding for you

Ok, well if AF doesn't come -- then I will test on the 6th, but I don't think it is that since I have no other signs of pregnancy.

i don't want to ge your hopes up and give you false hope but mine was bright red too. and i still have zero symptoms. i never had ms, i've never had sore breasts, i feel great and i honestly thought the bleeding was either a late af or a miscarriage. but that baby i saw on u/s last week is telling me otherwise. i would test again.

Implantation bleeding is usually brownish or pinkish, but anything can happen when you're on swaying supps. Cran and baby aspirin, and to a lesser extent, SP, are blood thinners that could cause implantation spotting to be more and fresher blood than what is "normal."
(for blue swayers, the same is true of garlic and fish oil)
Implantation spotting occurs in 30% of all pg and can happen even if you've never had it before.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Quick question - I am feeling ok about the spotting I just saw this morning, sounds just like this (brownish, very small amount) - it's implantation bleeding right? I got my first positive at 10DPO but today (13DPO) is the first time I've seen any spotting at all. You can get implantation bleed after a positive test, right?
My tests are progressively getting darker... so I feel confident that baby is still safe and sound. I hope
I go to the doctor tomorrow for my first round of betas.Supermom to DS1 (1996) & DS2 (2009) & DS3 (2013) & my HT beauty DD4 (2015)
