It Doesnt Look Like Old Blood To Me

Hello,
i recently had intercourse on 6/30(last day of af) and 7/3, which both times were protected like always. Then on 7/5 i noticed(sorry for tmi) when i went to bathroom and wiped some blood on the tissue w/ a small amount of cm in my panty. i was kinda shocked by it and thought "okay, maybe its just old blood from last af". then i continued wipping another 4 times and still saw blood even though it was getting less and less. what freaked me out though was that it wasnt brown like how old blood would look after your af, but rather like a tomato color red, like fresh blood. I havent seen it since that one time on 7/5. I am supposedly suppose to be ovulating from 7/5-7/10 and i have been experiencing some light cramping in my lower abdomen that i always have during ovulation time. I think its just ovulation bleeding, but ive just never experienced this before so im kind of jittery. my cycles are normal and consistent. Its a normal 28 day cycle(give or take a day or two). Last month(June) it was only for 26 days, maybe that had something to do with the bleeding, who knows. Its just now ive been noticing this and it looked nothing like old blood and became concerned since i never saw it before. Im beginning to think its just mid-cycle bleeding since im suppose to be ovulating now. Just outta curiousity, wouldnt that be rather very very early to have any type of implantation bleeding? Thanks

Thanks for responding and i hope i get all the answers im looking for also. I think its just mid-cycle bleeding since my af had just finished a few days ago. I havent been experiencing any burning when i urinate, just that one time of noticing blood. Thanks for for the advice though.

Hi Nicole,
I was reading your post. I think that it might be too early for implantation. Sometimes(for me)after AF stops, a day or so later, I might still have alittle red blood too. If you look at my charts on FF, you will see that on many cycles I will "spot" every now and then. So it may just be that. There is no mistaking a UTI. Everytime I get one (Unfortunately I am soooo prone to them!), the PAIN is the dead give away. It usually sneaks up on me. I go to the bathroom and suddenly OUCH!!! I usually have blood in my urine too. Sorry TMI but when I wipe, I usually do not have it on the TP.
I do hope you get the answer you are looking for.
Good Luck and keep us posted.

Thanks for responding and i think is also to early for implantation bleeding so i just think it mid-cycle bleeding. Its just ive never experienced this before which had me a little bit paranoid about what it could be. I dont even know why i thought of it as being remotley implantation bleeding when we used protection, but things can happen so i wasnt very sure. I also was told the chances of that are slim since it was CD7 & CD10 of when i had intercourse and i start supposedly start ovulating on CD16. But could you actually concieve and experience implantation bleeding 2 days after intercourse or right after your af finished? Thank you again for responding. It really helped.

Hi Nicole,
From what I have read and I maybe wrong but implantation usually occurs about 7-10 days after Ovulation. I have looked at charts on Fertility Friend and have seen it occur as early as 5 days.....going by temps. Some people do not believe in Implantation dips in temp and some do.
Keep us posted!!!!

I have heard the same thing also about implantation bleeding occuring 7-10 days after ovulation, but the thing is when i saw the blood i didnt even start ovulating yet. I dont think that any type of implantation bleeding can happen so soon since i didnt even start ovulation and being as both times that me and my SO did it we used protection like always but strange things can happen, so who knows. my ovulation day is supposedly suppose to be today. my af for the month of June came 2 days earlier than expected on June 24th instead June 26th on my normal 28 day cycle.maybe that had something to do with the mid-cycle bleeding that i saw. i dont even have any symtpoms of ovulation or impending af this month either. no sore bbs,headaches,cramps...nothing, just some ocassional gas every now and then stound my pelvic area. i also dont see any more cm. Since this month started i only saw it from 7/4-7/7 and i know that when you become pregnant your cm would increase to protect the baby. I think im just making myself paranoid as usual and jumped to conclusions, but i just found it rather unusual for me to notice mid-cycle/ovulation bleeding b/c i never had it before. Thanks for responding to my psot though. I really appreicated it. I'll keep you all posted on how im doing.

that is EXACTLY how my UTIs are too. No symptoms, then all of a sudden OUCH and a little blood when I wipe. Glad to know we can compare symptoms on things other than pg, lol
Hi,
unfortunately UTIs are not as good a getting a positive HPT...at least that is what I hear ;P
