implantation bleeding???

starting getting light pink on the toilet paper last Friday. it has been on and off like that this whole week. Have not needed a pantiliner. I've also had cramps on and off all week. Confused because DH and I have not BD since my last period which started on 9/21 and lasted about 5 days. It was my first AF since I had DS in late June. It was a very heavy period for me.

Do you think this implantation bleeding or flow is just taking a looooonnng time to show up? Not sure because I've only had one AF since baby and my cycles were not all that regular before baby anyway.

I know i just need to test, but curious what you experts think

Re: implantation bleeding???

From what I have heard, implantation bleeding, which is super rare, is brown (old blood)....not sure if I am accurate! Hope that helps!! Good luck!!!

Re: implantation bleeding???

I had implantation bleeding with both my pregnancy's. With DS I happened once and was a very small amount. With this pregnancy, I actually had a few days of spotting. Not only brown either. I also had low progesterone and bleed alot my first trimester. I had AF cramping with both.

To me it sounds more like your cycle is just messed up. Once I got AF back after DS, it was just a a mess. I would get it and then a few weeks later start to spot for a few days. So you never know!

I had implantation bleeding, but it was just one day and it was dark brown. It happened the day before AF was due.

DS2 was born on 7/22 and my 2 cycles since birth have been exactly as you described. very light for a few days (not even enough for a pad/liner), then finally, on like day 5 or 6, a normal AF.
