Please HELP!!! Implantation or period?

My period isn't due until next week, but I am spotting today. I thought maybe implantation bleeding, but there is cramping too. I just feel lousy today, stayed home from work. Could my period be out of wack or does it sound like I'm pg? My boobs have been sore for a couple of days--very sore and really hungry. It's a hell of a clichè, but I am really craving chocolate--mostly chocolate shakes. Any advice? I'm scared and alone. My boyfriend and I were trying and now we're broke up. Please, I just need some comfort. I am so ready to be a mom.

Some women do experience cramping in early pg too. So this could be IB for you. All your signs are very promising.

And the chocolate - is my best friend!!!!

Please sign on anytime and there should be someone here to help you, offer advice, and comfort you during this waiting to test period for you.

Wishing you all the best!

im in the same boat as you. i started to spot a week ago and my period wasnt due until today which the spotting hasnt changed. the first two days i had cramps. now im tired well have been tired for the past 2 and a half weeks. ive started to eat alot more then normal.i get tired just from walking up a flight of stairs and i only weigh 123 pds. i feel old when i try to stand up. its too early for me to take a test. was your spotting only when you went to the bathroom like a couple drops and then when you wiped it was a light red. just enough to wear a panty liner?

it is so unfair when you are so ready and then you break up...

especially if you COULD be a preggy...

all i know is...being a preggy alone is the hardest thing any woman can endure...

if your relationship is shaky...you should not be trying to conceive with your boyfriend...

making an adult decision doesn't mean you just do what you want...sometime you make a decision based on what is best for you at the time...

maybe the timing just isn't right...

trust me when i say...things can change in a day...what may not be the best outcome today...could be perfect in just a short time...

on to your question...don't even stress or test until you have missed your entire cycle...

implantation bleeding....you won't know until you either start your cycle...or miss it...

good luck

I'm so glad to hear from someone in the same situation. Yes, my spotting was very light and only when I wiped--it was only for one day. I am tired as well, I feel exhausted all the time, but when I try to sleep at night I feel restless. Is this a sign too? Good luck--let me know how it turns out.

well today i have stopped spotting i think. earlier this morning i had some spotting but none now. i still feel tired and i wake up in the middle of the night having to go to the bathroom more and i never use to. if i take a deep breath it hurts. feels like my rib cage is hitting against something but its at the bottom of my rib cage. i notice that when i get up and start to walk i get light headed and nausa and goes away. i feel like im i could get sick but i either burb or it goes away and never get sick. i really do think i am pregnant as i know my body and this isnt normal for me. if i push slightly on my lower abdomen it hurts which i dont know if its a sign or not?
