Implantation bleeding?

Question

The date of my last period was October 20th.......starting the 1st week in November I have been having signs of pregnancy...the achy breast....the extreme nausea...but i havent taken a pregnancy test because I wasnt expecting my period to come until today.......I have been having cramping for the last 2 weeks on and off....then this morning I started bleeding----but it doesnt look like a normal period and the discharge is a little light brown and light pink (sorry for the visual) . When my period comes it usually comes with a vengence!!! It is not coming out when I pee only when I wipe (I apologize again for all the TMI) and the cramping is nothing to what my period cramps feel like. I have read that implantation cramping usually comes 7 to 10 days after ovulation and a few days BEFORE your period should start. Normally my period would be starting today or tomorrow....When should I take a pregnancy test to get accurate results....has this ever happened to anyone? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Pregnancy tests can be expensive so I would wait until you actually miss your period to try.

I know it's hard when you are wondering but you are much more likely to get an accurate result after you miss a period.

Implantation bleeding and cramping usually occurs right around the time when you would expect your period, if you have "regular" cycles.

Answer 2

You could try to take a test today, as some tests advertise "early response", but honestly, you're better off waiting until you actually miss your period by a few days for having a better chance at actually testing positive if you are in fact pregnant.

Good luck!
