implantation bleeding last period was sept 9 now went to the bathroom this morning seen dark blood put on a pad went back to the bathroom later nothing there when i wipe but god it feels like my period is coming on when should i have experienced implantation bleeding or is my period coming on

Answer 1

Implantation bleeding usually occurs right around the time you would've had your period. It's not a common thing that EVERY woman experiences when she becomes pregnant. And it's just a little light spotting for a day or two usually. But some women do experience periods while they're pregnant, but that's very uncommon. Why don't you just buy a test and see. Even if you're on your period it'll still say positive or not positive. Good Luck

Answer 2

I would suspect implantation bleeding if it occurs a bit earlier than expected, if it were scanty, spotty, pinkish and not red and heavy like a period, and does not follow the normal pattern of a period (light to heavy to light).

The BBT should remain elevated and not decline to preovulatory levels.

There is often the feeling that it is a period with light cramps and bloating, but the bleeding is shorter, lighter and just not normal.

If a woman is usually regular, and now all of a sudden develops this type of early spotting, and of course is "at risk" for a pregnancy, I would strongly suspect conception.

Implantation bleeding, or spotting, occurs approximately 8-12 days after conception. It occurs when the blastocyst (which develops into the fetus) embeds into the uterine wall. Implantation provides necessary nutrients to the growing pregnancy, which the placenta will later supply. The bleeding usually lasts from one to two days, is pink in color, and not associated with pain or cramps. The amount of blood or discharge is small, but can be mistaken for a period as it often occurs near the time of menses (in women with 28-day cycles).
