implantation bleeding or period?

Hello-

We have been ttc and started spotting 1 day early for my "period". I am usually very regular. I assumed it was implantation bleeding b/c we were ttc and it was very light. It has now turned into heavier bright red blood. It is still too early for a hpt. Has anyone ever had "heavy" implantation bleeding before? I am usually quite fertile so that is why I'm questioning it's a period.

Thank you!

I have to say it sounds like your period to me. When I had IB it was VERY light pink. So much so it looked almost watery (don't think it was, though) and there was very little of it. I thought I had started AF but it went away and no AF came... Finally got the guts to admit it to myself 10 days after MAF and took 2 tests, BFP. I think it sounds like a period but if you have doubts or if it lightens up quickly go ahead and take a test. Get an EHPT even if you're due or overdue since it will be most sensitive..

GOOD LUCK!! Sending sticky baby vibes your way!!

hey there.... i dont want to say that it wasnt ib. My story is that i was supposed to get my period and a couple days later i started lite bleeding on and off for almost a week. I thought it was my period. I have been reading posts and such and thought well.... maybe i am pregnant. so today i took two... yes two tests cuz the first one had a faint positive line... well the second one had the same thing. So... at any rate, i am still unsure if i am or not. I would think the results would be more clear since my last period was the end of august!! But.. everyone thinks if it is faint you are pregnant!! So... if you were lite on and off bleeding i believe it could have been ib, but if you were bleeding heavy enough to soad tampons and such... then it was probably not the case. Still.... i wish you best of luck and baby dust your way!!!
let us know
