Implantation bleeding?

I think I may be experiencing some implantation bleeding right now. Yesterday evening I started having some pinkish spotting. Today it has been brownish red spotting. I wasn't expecting my period until this weekend. I'm just wondering...How common is implantation bleeding in pregnancy? How many of you had it?

HI there,

Implantation bleeing is very common, I personally didn't have it with my DS - but did have spotting in my 2nd month (which was nothing).. but not to burst your bubble; sometimes (as you probably know) reddish/brown blood can indicate old blood, which can mean it's just left over from your last period; but it could also mean implantation bleeding. What gets so frustating is that the same feelings occur for both "getting your period" and early pregancy..

are you trying?

Thanks for the reply! I'm trying to have patience but it's soooo hard! We were not trying but if I am pregnant I would still be happy.

Yes, it is VERY hard to wait.. we are trying for our 2nd (my DS is 10 months old) and I just went out and bought a test even though I'm not due until Sat/Sunday.. I got the faintest (I mean the faintest) 2nd pink line.. will test again tomorrow am (that is the best.. FMU)

Well good luck to you!!
