Implantation bleeding or normal period?

Question

I usually have my period on the 3rd as my cycle is 31 days. During Dec and Jan 2007, my period came out as expected. But in Feb, at my very first day of my missed period, I thought I was pregnant. I took the pregnancy test, but it was negative. So, I thought it might be too early. Then, my period came on the 7th and last for about 1 week. Then, after about a week, my period came again on the (26th). The blood was red/dark red colour like my normal period. But at the same time, I also feel nausea. I don't have sore breast at the moment, but I always cramp and tired especially at night. Am I pregnant or just my feeling that I really want a baby that make me feel that I'm pregant?

Answer 1

Sometimes our minds can play cruel tricks on us. I know that since I have been TTC I have felt tons of things that I can't explain and every month I get my period. I know how frustrating it can be. Try to keep you mind off of pregnancy by starting a few new projects. If you still fell like you might be pregnant you can get a blood test. Good Luck!!

Hi,

Your Feb cycle was 4 days late - which is within normal limits - the cycle can vary month on month so I wouldn't be concerned about that too much.

You didn't say how long your bleeding from 26th lasted for or how heavy it was - if it was just light spotting that came and went over 1-2 days it is possible to be implantation spotting.

It is quite a myth to say that you must have sore boobs or feeling sick etc..........every pregnancy is different ........to give an example........with my first I never even felt pregnant until the baby started kicking, with my second I was sick from day 1 and it got so bad I had to have medication in order to keep fluid down, number three gave me cramps from day 1 right to birth.........and I didn't get sore boobs with any of them!!

If you are really concerned you should do a pregnancy test - and perhaps visit your Doctor if the sickness continues.

Best of luck and I hope you feel better soon.

Implantation bleeding is usually much lighter than a period, scanty and patchy. It tends to be pinky or brownish in colour and not heavy like a period. It simply occurs when the fertilised egg impants in your uterus and arrives shortly before or when your regular period was due the first month.
Its quite hard to determine what is happening, especially as you say you always have regular cycles. You may just be experiencing irregular cycles, this can be due to illness, stress etc if normally they come on time.
I would advise going to your doctor today. I dont want to cause you any concern but the symptoms you describe can be related to an eptopic pregnancy ( one that begins outside the womb), typical symptoms are bleeding in advance of your period and cramping. Look on nhs direct website for more info. If you go to your doctor they will check out that all is ok - even if there is nothing wrong at all I think it is best to go. x

Answer 5

ur probably not pregant and this is normal if you hadnt had ur peroid for long. and feeling nausea is normal and sometimes u feel different through each period. like sometimes my sister might be sick when she gets hers but other times she's fine and others she has cramps. if ur that concerned about it u should see ur doctor.
