is this implantation bleeding? confused

Hello everyone...i am new here and you would think after having four children I wouldnt need to ask questions, nonetheless...here I am as confused as ever...I was hoping since some of you have been ttc for awhile you might have a little insight into my situation...koay, my husband and I decided to ttc 3 months ago...my periods are EXTREMELY ireggular...my last several periods were as follows, February 15, March 23, May 2...So I figured based on my pattern I wouldn't O until around the end of May...we have been babydancing all month off and on not really paying attention to CM or anything because I just figured I wasnt even close to being "ready"...well, for the past 3 days I think I might be having implantation bleeding. (actually today it is gone so I had it for 2 days I suppose)Saturday morning after I went to the bathroom I wiped and there was a little bit of light brown streaking on the TP. It kinda startled me since I am not expecting anything yet so of course everytime I went to the bathroom after that I looked for it and it was there everytime...it was always either light brown or faint pink and light brown...never did it "flow or drip" just when I wiped and it was always mixed in with a little CM...I know it could not have been from sex because my husband and I were not together the 2 days leading up to this and the last time we were together it was very gentle not rough (sorry tmi)...now today it is gone...i am just really confused because I have never noticed implantation bleeding with my other children and I am way off of my normal cycle if it is IB...anyone with any thoughts I would greatly appreciate it...I have been searching the web for pics (I know, gross) of implantation bleeding but I cant find any...well, I thank you to all who reply, I am really beside myself with questions...thanks again and good luck, sticky baby vibes to all the wonderful mommies to be on this board...

Hi there! I may or may not be of help to you, but I can honestly say I am going thru the same problems. Not an irregular cycle, but brown brown and more brown. DH and I were BDing last week and I had light spotting afterwards. It was brown. Then the second time we BDed more spotting but nothing more than when I had wiped afterwards. Now, AF was supposed to be here 3 days ago, or if its a 32 day cycle then by tomorrow or next day, but nothing but brown brown brown. Its very irritating and its only a little line in my panties or mixed with CM on my tp. Gross I know sorry tmi! I too am wondering what is going on with my body at this point because this has NEVER happend to me before! And I havent noticed anything when I was pregnant 8 years ago with my DD. Hope you find the answers you are looking for and I hope that they help me as well LoL

Doubtful that you'll find pictures, but hopefully this will help:

That's certainly what it sounds like, though some women do spot around ovulation if it seems too early in your cycle to be otherwise.
