is it AF? PLEASE HELP!

Ok, for the last 6 months or so I have gotten AF on the 12th of every month. I woke up this morning bleeding. It is very dark, almost brown, and really light. This is not how my normal period starts. It usually starts heavy and bright red. Is this AF, or did my husband and I actually get lucky this month and is it attachment bleeding? How can you tell the difference?

I'm sorry but I don't know the answer to your question but at least wanted to post to you to "bump" it back up to the top so that someone else might be able to share their experience with you. Personally, I know I spot for about 2 days prior to AF, then she comes with a vengence. I hope it's implantation for you. GL to you!!!

I'm sorry I can't help you much. It's not unusual to spot for a few days before AF shows up in full force; even if this is not typical for you, it could be just spotting. (I usually spot 2-3 days before AF; this month she just showed up full force.)

I do know, though, that implantation bleeding is actually considered rare. I know we all obsess about it and think it will happen to us, but it really only happens in a small minority of pregnancies.

Good luck and keep us posted!
