Hello, I'm quite confused. My lmp was 6/27/15 for 5 days. My husband and I had sex July 9,14,15,16,(during ovulation ) and 24 as well as July 10 &11. I'm regular like clockwork! I was due for my period on July 31. Needless to say it didn't come. I Did the hpt's and They were negative. I called the OB and had the blood test done. Needless to say that was a negative as well. I had all the pregnancy symptoms. I usually never have any symptoms before a period.I ended up being 14 days late, then I started spotting late that night and following morning. By mid-day it got heavier,but no clots. the next day it remained the same until that afternoon and stopped completely. The next day I noticed the brownish discharge and light pink spotting, and then brown and then nothing. Now that everything has stopped, I'm still having light pain on the right side and somtimes on the left. Today I woke up nauseous dizzy, and had to urinate quite a lot. (Sry for all the tmi's ) I would like to if this could have been implantation bleeding or just a really late period as we have been ttc since March when I had the mirena removed(had 2 mirena's over 9 yrs )

Hello beighly53102,
From what you have described, this is not implantation bleeding.
The bleeding indicates that you are not pregnant. But, I wonder if the heavy bleeding with light cramping could have been a miscarriage.
Please consult your obstetrician/gynecologist for confirmation.

OK Thank you so much. I'm going to call them again and see what They say. I'll let you know what happens. Could it have been a miscarriage w/o clots?

Hello Anonymous,
Welcome to EmpowHER and thank you for coming to us with your concern.
Did you have a history of an irregular menstrual cycle before you started getting the birth control injections?
I would not call this a normal period because you said you had your period last week. This sounds like breakthrough bleeding, which is bleeding between periods. A hormonal imbalance caused by stopping the injections could be the reason.
Anonymous, if this has been going on since June, you really need to talk to your gynecologist.
Regards,
