Implantation bleeding can easily be confused with a regular period, especially in women who are actively trying to conceive (TTC). They may automatically assume that any vaginal bleeding is a period. Women who have irregular periods can also make the mistake of thinking that implantation bleeding is a period.
What makes this early sign of pregnancy even more confusing is that it typically occurs 10 to 14 days after conception. Your regular period arrives roughly 14 days after ovulation, and most women conceive the week of ovulation.
So, if you are reading this article, you are probably asking yourself, is this implantation bleeding or a period?
What is Implantation Bleeding?
Implantation bleeding – a very early sign of pregnancy – occurs when the fertilized egg attaches to the uterine lining. During implantation, the fertilized egg (called a blastocyst at this stage of development) burrows and embeds itself underneath the wall of the womb (uterus). Because the uterine lining is rich with blood, some women can experience spotting and even cramping during this process.
Experts aren’t sure why some newly pregnant women notice implantation bleeding and cramping, and why others don’t experience it at all.
For the most part, implantation bleeding is lighter and occurs earlier than your regular menstrual period. Sometimes, however, implantation bleeding may be heavier, so it can be easily confused with a regular period.
How Long Does Implantation Bleeding Last?
Unfortunately, there is no set-in-stone length of time that implantation bleeding lasts. Every woman experiences this early sign of pregnancy differently. For many women, their implantation bleeding is light – similar to a light day of their period – and it only lasts for a few hours. Other women may have light spotting on and off for several days. There are also women who claim that their implantation bleeding was heavier and lasted three to four days.
Because the length of implantation bleeding varies for every woman, the only sure way to tell whether or not you’re pregnant is with a home pregnancy test.
Like with a menstrual period, implantation bleeding will stop on its own. If you continue to experience vaginal bleeding, you should contact your doctor or healthcare provider. Heavy bleeding can be a sign of a miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy – a pregnancy that grows in the fallopian tube or in another part of your body.
Implantation Bleeding or a Regular Period?
Women who have heavier implantation bleeding can easily mistake this sign of pregnancy with a regular period. When this happens, you may automatically assume that you’re not pregnant. This can lead to errors in determining your baby’s due date in the future.
For this reason, you should pay very careful attention to your flow. How heavy are you bleeding? What color is your blood? What is the pattern of the bleeding?
There’s a good chance that it is implantation bleeding and not a period in the following cases:
- The flow is scanty, on and off, spotty. You aren’t consistently bleeding.
- The blood is pinkish or brownish. It is not bright red and heavy like a period.
- The pattern of bleeding doesn’t follow the regular pattern of your period. A menstrual period always starts off light, gets heavy, and then becomes lighter again.
- You start to bleed a few days or a week before your period is scheduled to arrive. Implantation bleeding typically occurs earlier than a regular period.
If you have always had regular periods, and all of a sudden you develop early spotting, you should take a home pregnancy test to see if you are pregnant.
When it’s not implantation bleeding, but a regular period, you will notice that the flow follows a consistent rhythm. It is light at first, and then becomes medium or very heavy for a few days, and then the last day or two, you experience light, on-and-off bleeding. Period blood is bright red, and it can come with clots. You may have strong cramps, backaches, and feel quite uncomfortable.
Still Confused? Take a Home Pregnancy Test
If you cannot tell whether or not you are experiencing implantation bleeding or a regular period, you should take a home pregnancy test, or call your doctor and schedule a blood test. A pregnancy test is the only way to know whether or not you are indeed pregnant.
Sometimes, if you take a home pregnancy test too early, you will get a false negative result – even though you are indeed pregnant. Not all pregnancy tests are created equal. Some are more sensitive than others. There are home pregnancy tests that will not give you an accurate result until the week after your missed period. If you think you are pregnant, keep on testing. However, it’s always a good idea to contact your gynecologist of primary care provider and get tested at their office.

I have a regular 28 days cycle. My period was due on April 16 but on the 11day past ovulation I started spotting only when I wiped by the next day it was like watery pinkish blood then for the next two days got heavy. Then stop but I still feel like I’m going to have another period. Is this normal? Or could this have been implantation bleeding? ?
My period cycle is normally 16th…..but i had intercourse on the 11th – 13th of may…..i had a very terrible 1.5 week….cramps, nausea, bloating, backache…..and now this morning i spotted light blood….but i m still feeling nausea this morning…what could this be??
My husband and I are ttc! The first day of my menstrual was July 26, 2012 and I stopped taking my levora birth control pills on July 31, 2012! After we had sex on July 31, 2012 I had some spotting! 2 weeks after, August 13, 14, 2012 I spotted (pink). For approximately 1.5 weeks I have been bloated, constipated, cramping, mood swings and had tingly breast. Could I be pregnant, experiencing side effects of stop taking the birth control, or period?
It sounds like it’s just because of you stopping your birth-control. This happened to me as well.
a week before my period was do i was very nauses, had lower stomach cramps, and was very very tired and also had these white little pimple like dots show up on my areolas.. Then the week of my period it was a day late but my period wasnt normal it was very light barely anything when i wiped it was a light pinkish with very little red the rest of the time it was brown this lasted for maybe 4-5 days if that.. I took a test the week before my period and it came back negative was gonna take one agian later on,, does anyone know what this could be? thank you for your replys:)
hello my name is zoe i have the same thing did you know what it was ? x please oi really need to know cause i had all the same stuff x
Great article. The pinkish – brown spotting is what alarm most women, following with implantation cramps & pain. Go get a test the minute you see / feel these symptoms.
Regards,

Period I started with a very light mostly when I wipe period 1/2 through day I thought it stopped now it is very light pink every couple of times I wipe and I had to pee a lot today. Am I crazy can it happen that quick I know I have read implantation can accure. 6 days after conception.
Sorry 1/2 way through on day 2

OnSeptember 19 and when I wiped i saw two little dots of light pink blood. Is it possible I could have gotten pregnant while using protection? My next period is due until September 28-29. Today is september 21 and for the past two days i have been having light period light cramping. this has never happen to me. especially not the light pink specks of blood. so confused

I hope everything turned out good with you!! Please let me know how you got on.
Could this be implantation bleeding if it started out spotting with mild cramps, it went from that to light to hot flashes, then to bright red then spotting then it stopped. What would this be called? please help
Hello ladies i had un protected sex with my partner a week ago. yesterday Sep 30 2012 was the day my period was due but it was pink and brown spotting, now today Oct 1 it’s the same thing on and off for hours… I have a regular menstrual cycle and my first day is always heavy. But this month is different and I’m always sexually active. Please help me and leave comments I’m so young 18 and still in school ! Thanks

Hello ladies! I know what you girls are going through. My period is not due till Oct 10 and on Oct 1 I had very light pink discharge when I wiped, on Oct 2 it turned dark brown and a little was on my underwear, and now today I had a few drops on my underwear and a it a dark red but only when I wiped. It’s not heavy like my usual period but I’m nervous as heck. My husband and I have been trying to conceive since March. I’m we are hoping this isn’t a period. I know its to early to take a pregnancy test, so I’m just waiting and hoping. I’m also having mild cramps but I think its because I’m so nervous and on edge. Anyone else, experience this and turned out pregnant?
A few days ago i spotted 2 times and ive spotted again pinkish discharge A week before my period is due. I feel im about to start a fever. But don’t. And ive been having bad headaches . Someone please help?:(
Hi my last period was on th 25th sep and am supposed to go on my MPs on th 23rd oct. Yesta had started spotting, my fiance and I had unprotected sex a week ago. Today have some abdominal pains and I swear its like a normal period bt not heavy, pink in colour to reddish. Am 12days early and we really trying to conceive. Wt is the meaning of this? Please help.
my period was due on the 18th of oct….here it is four days later and im experiencing some bright red bleeding only when i wipe…could i possibly be experiencing implantation bleeding after my period was supposed to be due….
I am not understanding your question. Did you have your period already?
If you have NOT had your period, then yes, I think it is a possibility that your bleeding when you wide could be implantation bleeding. Go take a home pregnancy test.
Hi my name is nicole my period aint due til the 24th of october but it started on the 19thth but when it started it was brown and heavy had cramps the first and second day but the ffirst second and thrid had have been really heavy could that be a sign of implantation?
I’ve had the exact same symptomes. Did you turn out pregnant?
Okay so this is probably a stupid question as I know you aren’t doctors and I’m forever saying how silly it sound when people say ‘ I had unprotected sex could I be pregnant’ lol
Anyways this is my question, its kinda tmi so sorry in advance.
I’ve been on the bar since November 2011. Since I’ve been on it my periods were regular up until the start of this month. On October 1st I started bleeding and it was continual so I went and got the bar out on October 12th. I stopped bleeding that day and I also started taking the pill. Then the following Tuesday Oct 16th I started bleeding again and bled until that Friday. Then the following Tuesday (Oct 23rd) I forgot to take my pill and also had unprotected sex. I had also forgot to take my pill on Wed and Friday the week before. Now on Thurs (oct 25th) I started getting cramps like I was starting my period. Then on Saturday I bled. Only for a bit and it was bright red and only lasted that day. Then Sunday and yesterday I had a small amount of discharge. Now I have no idea what’s what. Whether I’ve had my period, whether the bleeding after having my bar out was bleeding because of the hormone change or the bleeding before getting it out was my actual period or just bleeding from the bar as I know irregular bleeding is normal. I’ve done a test on Monday and I swear I saw a second line but convinced myself it was my eyes as a week after intercourse I doubted I could get a result already. And have done one every morning since and have had no second line. I know there is a chance I could be pregnant, I just want to know what you girls make of it all and what use think? I’m confused as all buggery -.- thanks (:
Hellllpppp!! Ok soooo my cycles run 26-28 days…last month according to ovulation prediction i o’d on the 7th…baby danced on the 7th =) i literally threw up 2-3 days after our session..hot flashes..dizzy spells..diarrhea..sharp pains in abdomen and so on. Baby danced the day before expected period (19th) on the 20th spotted once..then the 21st spotting led to heaviness but lighter than usual…usually im heavy the first 3 days but this time it was lightly heavy (if that makes any sense lol) for about a day and a half then led back down to just spotting the next 3 days (very unusual for me) and DH threw up within the last day. And ladies had this happen to them and it indicated early pregnancy??? Im dying for results but what do u ladies think?? Please respond BABY DUST TO ALL TTC =)
So what happened? Are you preggo? I’m having some concerns of my own and could really use some advice. My period is totally out of wack. It came 8 days early and is bright red and watery (which is really out of the norm for me. I haven’t had any clot days, I haven’t had any deep deep red days, just bright ass red like I colored it with a crayon and VERY WATERY) but it’s been “lightly heavy” for three days. Any news on your end?

My period is not suppose to be here yet can anyone tell me is this implantation or a period ?
Hi everyone!
I came off Birth control (oral) in August. I had my regular 28 day periods ever since. My last period was on October 13th, I was predicted to ovulate on the 27th (CD14) however I think I ovulated a little later, maybe CD 16-17. My husband and I baby danced throughout my fertile days. I was expecting my period on November 10, it has been late up until November 13th I started noticing a small amount of light pink cm after wiping. It later changed to dark brown and increased in amount (Not like a period though). I’ve been monitoring it to see if it will get heavier. My question is, I have always been regular both on and off bcp. I have never missed a period like this before. Could this be a late implantation bleed after my missed period? I dont have sore boobs like i usually do before af. I experienced lower back pain a few days last week. I’ve been testing negative on all HPT’s I’ve done. HELP!
Ok, I’m excited, freaking out and nervous all at the same time right now. My husband of almost two years and I are not ttc right now. We were waiting to start after our second anniversary in Feb. but recently we have kind a of thrown caution to the wind and we only have been withdrawing and sometimes using condoms- I stop using BCP for about 4 months and I have PCOS but not that strong. I am 30 yrs old. So to my question:
Is this an implantation bleed:
I normally get my period on the 17th or as early as the 16th and late as the 19th. It usually last 3-5 days and it is heavy with lots of clots. This month however I started to lightly bleed on the late afternoon of the 11th after intercourse. It was very bright in color and seemed to be a start to my period. I lightly bled that night and used a pad than till the next day but than it stopped on the 12th and only lightly and I mean lightly spotted that I had nothing on my pad the night of the 12th and it was gone on the 13th. I’ve been nausea but I’m usually nausea. My husband noticed right after halloween that I’ve been moody, extremely fatigue and I was. My breast were tender and the week of the 5th I was experiencing cramps on my left side- felt like it was my ovary but it stopped. This past weekend however I’ve felt so strong and had a ton of energy. I “spring” cleaned my entire house for the whole day. I’ve been feeling great and in such a good mood. Other than nausea in the morning. Also food has been tasting odd and earlier inthe month alcohol tasted so bad when I was given a glass of champagne during a celebration. I took a sip for the cheers and than gave the rest to my DH. So I stopped drinking just incase.
Could I be preganant? I hope so. I’ve been wanting to be preganant for the past year but we’ve been waiting till the time was right. But when is that? I’ve had a few times where I thought I was because we ttc for a few months but nothing happened and was sad after taking the pee stick test. My hubby and I decided to stop when he was switching jobs, which he just did. So I don’t want to take a test too early and get sad if I get a negative. But this time it feels so different- I have so much energy right now.
Sorry for the long post- I just have no one to share this with other than my DH. Our families are already thinking I can’t have babies but we haven’t really really tried yet.
my periods have been right on time all year and lasted the reg four days, cycle length, 32 days; one week late in aug, therefore, pushing reg date back a week; two more months of regular four day periods. unprotected two days after last period; next period was due nov 15; nov 9, brownish discharge, then spotted red; that stopped, then, “period” came four days early, lasted reg “strength” for one day then “tappered” off the second day and stopped. neg preg test the third morning. wacky hormones throwing off cycle or too early to test pos for preggo?
This is my first cycle of TTC. I have had cycle about every 28-30 days. Today is cycle day 31 for me and still have not started my period. Today I also had slight brownish pink discharge when I wiped. Can this be implantation bleeding? If so then why is it so late? I took a digital pregnancy test yesterday and it came up negative within a minute. I have had no other symptoms whatsoever. I’m really confused
Hey everyone!! I’m really confused about my “period ” right now. I usually get my period on the 20th and I just got it today the 15th. I always have a heavy period the first 3 days, but this time it’s lighter than it has ever been the first day. It was pink reddish first then brown, and now red but no really heavy flow like usual. I felt extremely tired today and had a bit of nausea. And this horrible headache that won’t leave me alone. I was wondering if anyone can at least give me an idea of what it is I’m experiencing ? Do I have my period or Is it implantation bleeding?
My husband and I are TTC. My period was suppose to start on Novermber 17 2012 in which i started having a small amount of dark brown discharge since the 15th of November which is not heavy like my period, when I wipe it is light pink and a small amount. I am normally irregular so it is hard to know if I am pregnant. My LMP was October 17 then before that September 18th then August 15th. I took a pregnancy test in Novermber 14th and November 19th and both were negative. I don’t know what to do….and I don’t have cramping but my breasts are a little sore.
Take another home pregnancy test or go see a doctor for a blood pregnancy test.
So I had my period on 4th of nov I had unprotected sex with my partner around my ovulation time it is now the 29th of nov and yesterday I experienced light pink mucusy blood only when I wipe and the same thing today but it varies from pink to red I wore a panty liner nothing is on the panty liner only when I wipe !! Am I most likely pregnant
Hi, my last period was the sixth of November, and according to this period calendar off babycenter, my next period should have started on the 4th. Well, yesterday was the fourth, and I had a brownish light pink blood.. not much. Nothing to even fill a pad all day. Only a few spots, and now today, just when I wipe, and I have seen some blood in the toilet. I know, gross. Anyway, it’s not anything really. And, my periods are usually like a damn masacre. Sorry for the picture. lol Anyway, we’ve been trying to conceive for a while now, and I’m older. I don’t really know about implantation bleeding. I have two kids now, and it’s been a while. I never bled with either, however, I guess there is a first for everything. Now, I took a pregnancy test today, and of course negative, but then I go on the web and it says that it wouldn’t read positive anyway, since it would be implanting. So, what do you guys think? Help an old girl out. I’ve seen a ton of posts on here, and really am hoping to see what you guys think. I’ve also had back cramps like I do when I get my period, if that helps. I don’t know if you get crampy with implantation, or how long you bleed. The whole thing is new to me, so let me know! Thanks!
Hi Ladies I had my periods on the 11/11/2012 me and my bf had intercourse on several occations,15th,19,22,26,28,30 pull out method…. my cycle went 4rm a normal 28 days to a 29-30 days cycle,and I believe I ovulated on the 27.Well I had brown spottin on the 5/12/12 and than again on the 7/12/12,I’ve been crampy like Af is about 2 come,this never happened 2 me,and I’m confuse,my period is due 2mrw….any1 had this?
hi, did u get ur af? if not, take a hpt
hello, my last period was nov 17 and according to calendar i was supposed to OV on 1 dec. me and my bf had unprotected intercourse from nov 26 til 2 dec every day. i have been feeling very “familiar” since the end of nov (i already have a 4yo son so i know what pregnant feels like) – headaches, fatigue, period-like cramping, bloating.. recently also better sense of smelling, hot and cold flashes and a little nausea. most of all, i pee like every 1,5h or so.. 7-8 DPO i experienced a light brown discharge, which appeared and then disappeared and came back again. it wasnt like period, it was just like i would imagine implantation bleeding would be like. so i went to GYN yesterday on my 9DPO and she felt my uterus quite a lot larger as normal so she suggested i should be def pregnant. then she made an US and it showed nothing! i also had my blood work done and it also showed i’m not pregnant (i dont know the exact hcg level, she just said 100% NOT pregnant). but i keep feeling very “familiar” and urinating and fatigue are really kicking in. i was wondering if 9DPO was too early after implantation for US and bloodtest to show anything? or is it just a weird coinsidence and i’m getting pms instead? I decided to wait a little before HPT, at least 14DPO, but has somebody experienced something like this and still been PG? Thanks in advance..
Took a hpt this morning and I got a BFP…
Hi, im trying to get prego .. and one week after my period was due i began bleeding a watery red, and from then on the blood turned bright red and heavy it lasted for two days and automatically stopped. Could this be implantation bleeding? HPT says negative probably because i should wait a few days till my body produces more hcg but i want to know now .. Being patient is driving me crazy bcuz i want to be pregnant soo bad.
Has anyone experienced something as similar as this and actually ended up prego?
hi my husband and i want to have a baby, on the day my period was due(12/11) i had cramps for 3 days without blood my period is very regular; 3 days later i took a hpt negative, today(12/16) my period is five days late this morning went to the bathroom wipe and there was blood i don know what is going on. can i be pregnant?
Hey! Quick question here. My last period was December 22-25. I had
unprotected sex on the 26th of that month and then again on January 1st.
On January 14, I started spotting a light brown color on and off for 4
days. I thought it was my period but it didn’t resemble my normal periods
at all. It stopped on day 4 and never got heavy. Could I possibly be pregnant?
My periods are NEVER that light and I’m usually always on time. Please help.
I haven’t tested yet because I’d like some thoughts and opinions from ladies
who have children. Thank you!!

On 28 june I then woke up one morning with cramps which is normal for my periods with a heeeavy hravy flow of bright red fresh smelling blood. it exactly like my normal period nothing doffferent what so ever. Lasted 3 days like my normal period n super heavy like normal p. 1 pad every half an hour(June 28 one) my due date is march 30. I’m wondering is this a June baby and that was implantation bleeding or??
I was 13 days late. I now experiencing some bleeding unlike my period. No cramps, very tired. Yesterday it started off as light pink. And now it’s very light bleeding. Blood like a red pink and brown mixed. Im wondering if I could be pregnant?
i had my period on march 5,2013 ..and then i am bleeding now march 17 2013..was dat possible dat i got my period 2 tyms in a month?was dat implantation bleeding?cud i b pregnant?
my last period started on 2/27/13. I really don’t keep up with ovulation times but I think I ovulated between the 9th through the 15th. My finance and I have unprotected sex and use the pull out method. However on the 8th he did not pull out when we had sex. I started spotting a light pink discharge on the 15th and it lasted until yesterday the 16th. It wasn’t heavy at all and it wasn’t a constant thing. Mostly I noticed it when I wiped. I had a few drops on my underwear. I have had cramping in my lower back and abdomen. It almost feels like menstrual cramps. Its uncomfortable but not horrible. I usually have HORRIBLE cramps and very heavy bleeding with my period. My next period isn’t until the 27th of March. My breast are very tender. Especially my nipples and they feel a little fuller and tingly. This past week I have been extremly exhausted. I could sleep all day if I didn’t have to work. I have had a little nausea but its mostly when I feel hungry. I do feel like Ive been more hungry this last week too. I took a HPT this morning when I woke up and it was negative. Its about 10 days before my period is due to start. Is it possible I could be pregnant. I have never had this spotting before my period unless its like the day before Im supposed to start but definetly not 10 days before.
I had an iui on March 21 and 22. I triggered on March 20, and I think I ovulated on March 23. Today I woke up and had dark brown spotting. It was very light in the AM, but by the late afternoon it was quite thick and heavier. (yuck) I only have the bleeding when I wipe. Otherwise, I don’t have anything showing on the panty liner. I would start my period tomorrow if it follows the schedule of the trigger shot. I would get it on Friday if it follows my regular 25 day cycle. I am really confused if this is implantation or period. I start my next iui tomorrow if this one failed. Any suggestions?
