Implantation Bleeding - The Real Deal
| Sun, 09-28-2003 - 9:03am |
I know a lot of women ask about implantation bleeding on here and, like me, rarely find the real answers they were seeking. I had some very strange bleeding in early August that was accompanied by very bad lower back pain. The blood was thicker and darker than usual and intermittent, usually coming out after I went to urinate or stood up after sitting or laying down for some time. Because this happened around when my period was supposed to start, I thought it was either just a weird period or an early miscarriage. Well, about seven weeks after that episode, I am about seven weeks pregnant. So, yes, implantation bleeding does exist and it does NOT always look sparse, thin, and light-colored, as I have heard mentioned on this site more than once. I am not sure if this will help anyone or not, but I wish someone would have posted this when I was going thru the implantation bleeding that no one could seem to offer much insight into.

I don't think intercourse can stop your period, though it can make the flow ease up temporarily, as far as I know. If I were you (or any woman having an episode like this who might be pregnant), I would probably test immediately and re-test after about three weeks, while monitoring for pregnancy symptoms, too.
My GYN originally estimated I was 9 weeks pregnant because my last normal period was in July. However, the ultrasound confirmed what I thought was true: I did not actually become pregnant until that weekend in August when I had implantation bleeding - at exactly the time my period was supposed to show up.
I think iv experienced implantation bleeding, vut im not sue..... around the time when i should have gotten my period i just had at first a little light bleeding then it stopped then a light( but a little darker this time)bleeding then it stoped again! IT did this about 3 or 4 more times before it just stopped all together. im soooo confused! could this be implantation bleeding?? i feel funny like iv been getting headaches all the time now but no MS, just a little upset stomach!!please write back soon!!!

Hi I amm going through the samething and to me its like having my period but I don't have any paon what so ever and its color is red to brown and only comes when I finish using the bathroom or when I stand up for a long time and I don't know if its implantion bleeding but I think it is when I read this now. My period is suppose to come on Oct.11th and its 2 weeks early if it is my period and if it is because I'm pregnant I can't wait. So thanks for answering this question I've been trying to get answered. Can you write back??
Thanks,
Maria
