curios..what is implantation bleeding?

Ok, can anyone tell my what implantation bleeding is? I'm just confused because I was 1 month late on July 13th. Felt some symptoms, I think, like lower back pain, and sore breasts. Tested on July 16th, negative. I went on vacation for one week, and feeling more of the symptoms. We were trying to conceive on throughtout the vacation. But on the 25th, I started to have heavy bleeding. That confused me. Well, when i got back yesterday from vacation, I looked back at my HPT and well, i see a faint 2nd line. I know I checked again before i left for vacation and was negative. When i checked again yesterday, there was another faint line. I don't know if this is old and doesn't mean anything. But can you still be pregnant when you have your period?

Someone help explain this.

Thanks.

No, I didn't test this weekend. I just afraid to. I'll just wait til tomorrow for my doc's visit and find out from there. But one thing that's weird, I have some pink discharge the other day. Just a light discharge, but alot of mucus. Now, I don't know what that is. It's just for a day. Next day it was gone. This morning I felt sick. I felt nauseated. It's either I'm hungry or might be a symptom. I don't know. We'll jsut have to see tomorrow.

Thanks for you concern.

Well, I hope all goes well. I'll cross my fingers and maybe you'll get the answer that you want tomorrow. Just be patient and try not to worry either way.

I went to the doc yesterday just for a consultation. I didn't do a blood test or urine test or anything like that. However, I did a HPT test at home before I went to see her, it came out negative. I told her that and she said that you can't detect that within a week. I would have to wait until my next menstrual and if I miss it or not. She gave me lots of advices since this is my first time going thru this. It can be very confusing.

One strange thing is, I've been getting these lower ab pains below my belly button, like twinges, now and then.

Well, when is your next AF due? Sorry things didn't go as planned but if she gave you any good advice that you could share feel free.
