Can this be implantation bleeding?

Question

My husband and I tried concieving on feb.14 , which was the day I should have been ovulating. About 4 days later on feb. 18 I had some light bleeding only when I wiped it was a light pink color ( it only happend once) Can this be implantation bleeding? Or is 4 days to soon . I know wasnt my period . If its not implatation bleeding what can it be. And its to soon to take a pregnancy test.
We've been trying to concieve for about 5 months and this has never happend. Has this ever happen to anyone?

Answer 1

Yes, it certainly sounds like it could have been implant bleeding. It takes a few days got the egg to get back down the tube and implant, so timing sounds right... :-)

Yes it certainly is too soon to test, but since things sound good, you could talk to you Dr. about getting a blood test as soon as they can do it for you. Hey go for it!! Things sound good for you!!

Good luck, relax and give things time to settle into your body and the hCG levels to get to a readable point. Than test and hopefully it is good news..

Answer 2

Implantation Bleeding


If you think you are experiencing implantation bleeding, now would be the time to purchase pregnancy tests.

BabyHopes.com offers inexpensive, sensitive pregnancy tests that you can have delivered straight to your door.

What does implantation bleeding look like?
Implantation bleeding is vaginal discharge which usually contains a small amount of pinkish or brownish blood. Only about a third of pregnant women experience implantation bleeding.

When does implantation bleeding usually occur?
It can happen at the time the fertilized egg implants in the uterus, on average between 6 to 12 days past ovulation.
Should I worry about implantation bleeding occurring?
Unless accompanied by cramping, backache or increased bleeding, a small amount of blood being discharged should be considered as implantation bleeding which is nothing to be concerned about.
If this is implantation bleeding, when can I test to see if I am pregnant?
Home pregnancy tests are based on a very simple principle. They work by through the detection of the hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in a woman's urine. This hormone is a hormone secreted by the developing placenta shortly after a fertilized egg has been implanted in the uterine lining.
If a woman is pregnant, the amount of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in her system should be around 25 mIU at 10 dpo (days past ovulation), 50 mIU at 12 dpo, 100 mIU at around two weeks dpo. Because of their high sensitivity factor ( 20 mIU/ml hCG ) in detecting human hCG, both the AimStick pregnancy tests can confirm pregnancy as early as 6-8 days past ovulation. To help lower the chances of a false negative, the best time to test at 9 or 10 days past ovulation would be advisable.
