Implantation Bleeding or Period – How to Recognize It
Hi Daniella, I have a 28 day cycle, my LMP was from 22 feb-26feb. I ovulated on 8 March, had sex with my husband from 5-12 March. 4 days post ovulation, I had a stuffy nose with no fever or headache which I hardly experience with other cycles. I also sneezed alot.i lasted up to 3 days and then all of sudden it stopped. AF is due on the 22of March but on the morning of 18 March which is my cycle day 25,i had a wet feeling down there and I wiped to see stretchy mucous tinged with blood but not bright red, more of a dull color.i have been having mild cramps too. Also my period is quite regular and does not start 4days prior to the due date, I can only start a day or 2 days before. Could it be implantation bleeding? I didn’t experience such with my first baby, my fingers are crossed and I hope for the best.
Hi there Jane, yes, there is a chance that this could bleeding due to implantation having taken place. Take a pregnancy test after 7 days of your missed period to confirm pregnancy.

Hi there Valencia, the best way to determine if you are pregnant is to take a pregnancy test 7 days after your missed period.

Hi Rabecca, it could be either honestly. Implantation bleeding is generally a lot lighter than a regular period. I would take a pregnancy test if you think you might be pregnant. Good luck!

Now confused .some help pliz
Hi Louise, it could have been that it didn’t take, that’s quite a possibility or that this was your period based on the hormones changing your cycle. Generally implantation bleeding is lighter than a regular period so I would naturally assume it wasn’t that. I would keep an eye out and then you should be going for another test correct? Good luck.
Hi I have my LMP was on 10 august 18, took Inj HMG 150 IU from 12.08.18 to 19.08.18, ovulated from right side 2 mature follicles and did iui on 21&25 and from 03.09.18 having brown spotting. What do you think it might be please give answer
Hi Madhu, it could be implantation bleeding. Or it could be spotting before your period. Take a pregnancy test. Good luck.
I had done my iui , on 29th july,today is 13 day of iui and started spot from day 11 th day of iui .the spot is just like some clot but small amount ,like some discharge and blood..i had some cramps to the abdomen.. i am confused is it implantation or im having period because my period is also very near to the date tentatively 12th of august and today its 25th day of my cycle. Can you please tell me about this.
Hi Maneen, generally passing clots is reserved for actually having your period. Implantation bleeding is usually lighter than a regular period and more spotting than anything else. I would wait until after the 12th and take a pregnancy test or wait until you go for your follow up with your specialist. Good luck!
thank u Daniela..today is my 28 day cycle…at 24 day there was few spot with few cloth and yesterday was 27 day there was brown spot when wiped..I had back pain which is more than normal period..can I test it after 28 days…
Hi Mamata, you can if this is when you anticipated your period but generally we recommend waiting until a few days after a missed period. With that being said, tests now can test up to 5 days before your missed period so it’s up to you.

Hello Ayesha, take a pregnancy test if you think you might be pregnant.
My last menstrual was June 6-9th. I had unprotected sex on 15,17,18,and 21st of June. Ovulation was from june18-22nd. My period was due July 4th but nothing. On July 5th i had dark brown spotting. I didn’t change my pad at all that day. I only have to use 1 pad a day that’s how light it is. July 6 still dark brown with dark red spotting. Then stopped completely mid day. Now July 7 started back spotting dark red. No need to change pad at all each day. I’m normally a heavy bleeder. Could this be implantation bleeding or an abnormal period? Also I had very light cramping the first day now no cramps at all.
Hi Cheree, could be implantation bleeding as it’s completely different from your regular cycle. I would recommend a pregnancy test in another few days.
Hello. Im 32 and my husband and I is trying to conceive. First day of my period was June 7 and last day June 11. I had unprotected sex during my fertile window also did an IUI on June 24. The symptoms I have are: nausea, feeling full, light cramps from my back radiated to my right leg, the cramps comes and go and I feel it when I’m tired or feeling hot or seating or lying in uncomfortable position. On July 5 I noticed slight pink spotting after I clean while using the bathroom; June 6 I saw bright red blood with small clots but not heavy in the morning then stop. I’m in my 2 weeks waiting period before going back to the doctor for a blood test. My appointment is on July 9, two days ago longest 2 days of my life. I feel like im going out of my mind especially when I see the blood. What do you think it might be? Any feedback will help. Thank you.
Hi Loyalty. COuld have been implantation bleeding, however generally that is more of a spotting than actual bleeding, especially with the clots. I would just wait it out until you see your doctor. Good luck!
