Light Period or "Heavy" Implantation?

**Blondie** · June 21st, 2012, 08:29 AM

Hi Ladies,

I think I am approx 10 DPO today and last night and this morning I have had a light period? My period is never usually this early?

I just wanted to put it out there...has anyone had Implantation Bleeding that could be confused with a light period?

I also have similar preggie symptoms that I had with DS....sensitive nipples, really sore gums, tiredness....

Thoughts?

Have you had any cramping as well? It could be an implantation bleed.

Yep, cramping as I type.

Sounds promising!

When are you testing?

**Blondie** · June 21st, 2012, 08:43 AM

So nervous!! I was planning on testing tomorrow morning with FMU.....fingers crossed the bleeding has stopped by then. I got a BFP at 11 DPO with my Son.

FX for you Blondie! I had a two day bleed with DD at about 10DPO. I thought it was AF. It was about 3 days later that I realised my temp hadn't dropped (I was temping) so I did a HPT & got a BFP. If I hadn't been temping, I would have written it off as AF and not realised until much later. Good luck.

Couldn't help myself....did a HPT and got a BFN

oh well. Not even a hint of a line....bleeding seems to be present, for the moment. SHouldn't have done a test but being a POAS addict the urge was overwhelming!

Rowellen - How long did you bleeding go for?

**Rowellen** · June 21st, 2012, 12:48 PM

Oh no

Bugger.

I had bleeding for 2 days. It was light (enough for a liner but not a pad or tampon) but enough that I thought it was AF (My AF is usually quite light just not "that" light). Has your bleeding increased at all? Maybe it's still a little early.

Thanks for the hug

I went and put a fresh pad on about 20 mins ago and just did a quick sneaky check at my desk

and there was only a little bit of blood...

My implantation bleed this time definitely seemed like AF, well, like I was starting anyway....it lasted 4ish days and at times I thought AF was coming for sure and would make necessary 'preparations' only to find a very small amount of blood when I checked. It was all brown blood too. If it doesn't turn into a full-blown AF in a few days I'd definitely test. Good luck!

Thanks darling you have given me some hope...its so bizarre. I never had this with DS but as they say every pregnancy is different. Man am I bloated!! I look pregnant its that bad! LOL

Update: Bleeding hasn't stopped so I am assuming its AF, testing again this morning with FMU and Negative. Annoying...but I am trying to look on the bright side....now I might just have a wine tonight
