I’m confused and wonder if you could lend some advice or your own thoughts on the differences that you have experienced on this topic.
I have regular cycles around 27 days (sometimes 26). My menstruation typically starts light and is super heavy the second day (red in color). It typically lasts 4-5 days. On day 12 of my cycle I have a positive OFK and subsequently had intercourse. I either ovulated on day 13 or 14 so today would be around CD 11. Yesterday morning, I started with a very bright colored blood and then experienced nothing until later in the afternoon. Later it was more and I had some cramping. I used a tampon b/c I did not have pads. That night it was only on one side. Two different times I had a drop on my underwear. Overnight it did not fill half the tampon. Today was the same thing. In fact after six hours and then checking the tampon, it was filled about half way, but my guess is that it was not soaked all the way through. The color is not the same as usual, but it seems like I shouldn’t have that much blood b/c what I read says “spotting”. Typically, today I would be really heavy and it is about half that. It is also three or four days prior to my period so I am confused. It feels like a period, but I am unsure because of the bright color and amount. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I have a question? I am very confused. I am supposed to start my cycle on Sept 13th but this morning (Sept 10th) when I woke up I went to the bathroom and wiped myself and I had egg white mucous discharge with red spots in it. This went on thru out the day. Then stopped. Now I am having red blood but not a lot at all. I'm also having some cramps but not middle of the lower abdomen but on the sides. What is going on???? I'm really confused.
Thanks!

Hello!
September 6, 2012 - 7:46pmMy Boyfriend and i had unprotected sex August 15th and 16th and he came inside me both times. I was supposed to start my period the next week, but it never came, and i'm pretty regular with my periods. i had some bloating, sore breasts, and i've felt nauseous, but not vomiting. i've had some light spotting on and off the past 2 days, and it doesn't even come close to filling a tampon, like my period normally does. Could this be implantation bleeding? I'm only 19 and not ready to have a child yet!

I would just like to point out that I know all about TTC and have perused darn near every TTC website in existence. And from the stories I've heard, implantation bleeding can be pink, brown, any shade of red ranging from light to dark to bright red and as far as the amount, while implantation bleeding itself is not supposed to be very much, (think about what caused the bleeding, it isn't going to cause very much) but you can be bleeding bright red and a lot of it, and still be very, very pregnant, it just most likely isn't implantation bleeding at that point, rather it is something else. Your cervix could be irritated, you could have blood clots, it could be anything. All I know is although it is very common to have full on bleeding to the point where you're questioning whether or not it's your period, it should not be taken lightly and you should see a Dr. if at all possible! Please ladies, stop browsing this site looking for info and go get a pregnancy test!! And if you are PG, PLEASE go see a Dr.! Good luck and wishing all you TTC'ers tons of baby dust! =)

Hi!! Ok I started my period 3 days earlier then expected. It started off with a brown discharge on day 1, on day 2 it was light pink, on day 3-5 it got heavy with clots. I usally have really heavy periods with clots that last for a week. The week before I had bleeding I had tender throbbing breast. Last night I woke up out of my sleep to throw up and today I was extremely exhausted with doing anything. Also I slept for about 12 hours. Could I be pregnant???

Hey so I'm very confused!!! On the 23rd my bf and I had sex when he pulled out there was blood but very light. When I went to the bathroom the blood was gone. The next morning there was red blood so I thought I got my period. I put a tampon in but when I took it out there was barely any blood. I switched to pads and the blood was pink and very light. I have experienced dizziness and threw up one night. I been very moody which I never am. Now I'm experiencing dark brown discharge with bad cramps but on and off cramping not all the time when like when I'm getting my period. Im 5 days early from my expected period and took 2 test both negative. I'm soo confused and have no idea what's going on. Someone please help!!

Ok so the first day of my lmp was around the 23rd(july) of last month. My periods are heavy, thick, deep dark reddish throughout the entire duration and usually last around 7-9 days. The first day is always miserable. Intense cramping, fevering, hot flashes, sometimes even throwing up and happens every period,now to thepoint.
On the 12th of this month(aug) I had unprotectected sex, though midway we put a condom on, I know that doesn't mean anything.
This past Friday I spotted ligh watery pink with mild crampig, one drop, then nothing. Saturday, yesterday, again, one drop, then nothing until severl hours later, went to use the restroom and one drop, then ia watery red gush.. and thn nothing.. until today I've. Been having bright re spottong, but a few dop here and there. so a little more but still nothing like any period I've experienced before..
Has anyone been through this?any ideas what it is? Could I be pregnant?
