Heavy implantation or period?

I’m really confused and hoping I might be able to get some advice! I was 12DPO (CD22) yesterday and had light pink spotting, which has gradually got heavier and darker, but still a lot lighter than my normal period. I’ve also had cramping which feels more like I’m being pulled and stretched. Normally I always start my period CD24 and it’s very very heavy. So I‘ve either started 2 days early or I’m having a lighter version of my period which could be implantation 🙈! Just very confused and wondering if anyone else has ever experienced something similar?

I’m sorry love, in my experience implantation bleeding hasn’t gotten heavier and darker, just stayed a few spots of light pink or brown. But that’s just my experience.

Have you had a positive pregnancy test? X

Thanks Tanisha, I’m probably just kidding myself but thought I was ask as I definitely feel different! No I was going to do one this morning, but I’m going to wait and see whether the bleeding continues x

I reckon do one! Usually you can get positives after 10dpo, If it’s implantation you should get a positive 🤍🤍

Or yea wait to see if the bleeding stops, sorry just saw that xx

Yeah I think I might wait, normally if it was my period I would be really heavy by now and I’m not. Stupidly feel like I don’t want to take a test whilst I’m bleeding 🤦🏻‍♀️ xx

Hey lovely I had a good 6 days of bleeding when I wiped but it was dark and red and I still stayed testing positive through out so keep testing I monitored lines to see if got darker or lighter

Hi Laura, that’s reassuring! Did you test whilst you were bleeding throughout the 6 days? Or did you wait?

I did test each day to see how it progressed xx

It was my period 😩 and I was just hoping it was heavy implantation! Hopefully you had a more positive outcome ☺️ x

I had a period and then bled 5 days after my period, a week later I found out I was pregnant, so yes you can have heavy implantation bleeding but it is rare.

hello, Im testing positive and I’ve been bleeding for 4 days and seeing your comment makes me feel better

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

One and done… or not?

32ftm. I’m starting to feel so much pressure to have another baby soon as I wean from breastfeeding so they can be close in age and be friends, but I don’t feel ready for pregnancy and newborn trenches again 😭 my husband and I are all we’ve got. Having just one baby without a village has been really tough. Am I being unrealistic wanting another one soon?

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??
