Implantation bleed?

Hi everyone,

My husband and I started trying this month and tried to hit all the right days. Then, to my excitement, I started to bleed a little five days after my suspected ovulation.

From what I understand, that's when implantation would have taken place. But now it's three days later and I'm still bleeding. Could it be that my period just came early?

How can you tell the difference between an implantation bleed and menstruation?


Thanks!!

Is the beeding bright red or is it dull and brownish? If it is bright red I have heard that that is your period, but if it is not then that is a good sign of implantation bleeding. Good luck to you!!!

It's both... but I decided this morning it's probably AF.

Many people find out they're pregnant when they're late, and nobody says, "My period never came! Except for that period I had last week."

How annoying that AF came the day I was expecting an IB. At least I'll be ovulating again sooner.

Good luck to everyone TTC!
