Am i experiencing implantation bleed or is it my period starting?
920981
I am by no means a professional but it sounds to me more like a period than implantation bleeds.  I have been pregnant 3 times and experience very little blood or cramping in the beginning.  But it took me a very long time to get pregnant after going off of depo.  My periods were very irregular for a couple of years.  My doctor told me depending how long you are on depo shots your hormones can be affected for up to 5 years!   I had no idea they would affect me that much.     If you are trying to get pregnant I wish you luck!   If not I wouldn't worry to much yet that you are pregnant.  I often have a more brownish discharge after a longer time (at least several months) between periods

well hun as above have said...ur period is at intervals of 28 days...normally they come on the (or around) same date each month...to be irregular means the dates get changed and u get them later or earlier than ur normal date.... if this happens its sometimes due to change in diet, stress, weight loss, weight gain, all these reasons are enough to be looked at by ur gp, some women bleed for the normal 5 days or so but as past experiences with myself show...ive had mine for up to 2 weeks, for which i seen gp wisely, and sometimes i dont get mine every month....sometimes twice in a month....is all up to ur own body clock hun and no 2 women ever have same pattern....if u have any concern pls see ur gp and remember we get periods for a reason....never ignore the signs of problems or when it comes time to have children u might have found the problems get worse....the pill or implant can help regulate ur periods so ask ur gp... hope this has helped... tc... : )

You will need to take a pregnancy test. If it has been at least 2 weeks since you had unprotected sex, you can take the test now and may get a result indicating pregnancy. Continue to test until you get a postitive or you get your period. While some women experience bleeding that they confuse to be a period early during pregnancy, it is impossible to menstrate and stay pregnant so, if your period comes as normal, no worries. Do use proper contraception from now on unless you want to become pregnant. It's just stupid not to use contraception. \n\nImplantation spotting may or may not be a myth. It is undetermined. Spotting inbetween periods can be a sign of other things such as stress, change of diet, illness or even starting an exercise regime. Definitely talk to your doctor at your next appointment because it can also be caused by infections or certain types of cancers, but is most often nothing to worry about.

Pregnancy signs and symptoms occur either at the time of a missed period, or a week or two later. Symptoms include missed period, fatigue, tender and swollen breasts, implantation bleeding, nausea and or vomiting, food aversions, frequent urination, and increased sensitivity to odors. Not everyone experiences symptoms, and some people feel some but not all symptoms. Implantation bleeding occurs a bit earlier than expected, and it is scanty, spotty, pinkish and not red and heavy like a period, and does not follow the normal pattern of a period (light to heavy to light). If you feel you might be pregnant, your best bet would be to see your doctor at least 2 weeks after a missed period to get a blood pregnancy test done, as this is the most accurate way of testing.

Hey im 12 and got my period at your age. Wear a pad. Thats what im wearing now, Don't worry. I knew about this WAAAAY before you but we learn at diffrent ages. don't be afraid to ask your mother or another female. Even a dad or uncle is ok too. I don't get alot of cramps but I usually sleep for awhile. I have PMS thats pre menstral syndrome. That means im irritated and have symptoms earlier. Don't wear tampons at your age either. Stick with pads unless your parents say somthing. In school try to be the same as usual. You also might bloat. If period symptoms get in the way get some midol. (sp?) Also when wearing a pad try to stay away from swimming or somthing like that. For sleeping use overnight pads. If you don't have any use a normal pad and put a dark towel under you. Stay away from light clothing. If it gets stained it'll be seen like white on black. During your period wear red,dark blue,black etc. So if its stained its hard to notice. If you ever see a red stain on your pants then welcome to the woman race. Also if you have vaginal discharge (White creamy stuff) on that 'area' Then its close to coming. Be prepared. Trust me I found out I had mine because I wore a white nightgown to bed that night. I didn't know it was there until my mom literally yelled it to me infront of my brother. So if you get yours tell her. Don't make her have to shout it like its the fourth of July.  You may also get some other hormones around this time like starting to like boys. You don't have to wonder 'What the heck? I like a boy!' like I did. But don't let it get outta hand. All a period is is when an egg dies inside you. It bleeds and thats what causes a period. It isn't just blood. It can be tiny little clots of it too. This is normal to have. A period should last from 3 to 10  days. You should only get it once a month. Light or heavy be prepared. For light periods get To-Go pads instead of using a big pad. For heavy ones get thick pads. for inbetween use normal. Try to relax during a period too. Don't overdo it either. If you do you get irritated and snap at people and don't mean to. I did this alot and got into trouble. Save yourself a lecture and don't overdo it and relax. Bring a small bag to school in your backpack or somthing and put in extra underwear and pads or tampons if thats what your parents want you to use. You'll thank yourself if you do that so you don't make it public cause somtimes people are busybodies and try to see what you're doing. Do this if you are embarrased about asking for a pad at school from your male/female teacher. But don't be they do this all the time.\n\n\nIf you wanna talk email me at:\n\nsatinfairy@bellsouth.net\n\nOR use IM\n\nYIM\nqueen_zelda2002@yahoo.com\n\nMSN\nsatinfairy@bellsouth.net\n\nAIM\nsatinfairy

It's called "breakthrough bleeding" and is perfectly normal (especially when you're on the pill.)  I wouldn't worry unless you are experiencing extremely heavy cramping when this happens.  Do a search for breakthrough bleeding on the web and you should find more info...  = )

Hi there,\nI am not a physician but it sure sounds like you may have a tubal infection.  You say the discomfort started after your period.  Are you positive that it was in fact that time of the month for you.  I ask because your symptoms, along with the bleeding, could be a sign of a tubal pregnancy.  In both cases you need to see a physician as soon as you can.  If it is an infection in your fallopian tubes the doctor will prescribe antibiotics to clear it up.  Of course you know what has to happen if you are pregnant in your tubes:  You'll need to have surgery for sure.  If this is the case, the sooner you see the doctor the better.  Good luck with everything.

relax...that one inch piece of blood is most  likely a blood clot which is normal...if you're this unsure about your period you are probably younger and just starting your period...which will be irregular and last longer than normal...i once had a heavy period that lasted for 2 weeks and the i went to the doctor and they said it's normal you're body's just adjusting...so don't worry...

Spotting can be just regular due to ovulation. Or you may have an irregular period and need to go on a birth control method to help regulate it.\n\nIf you are that concerned then go to the Gyno.

Yes- this is very normal.  What I would do though is to see your doctor for a blood pregnancy test, to confirm that you are indeed pregnant.

Just relax, being that you had birth control in your system it affects the start time of your period.  Don't worry just give it a little bit, and you can always contact your doctor about the matter.  Also, being that you were spotting, it shows that your body is at least trying to prepare itself to officially start.

you could be pregnant - when wuz ur last monthly period - even if is due this week or even 1 weeek or 2 - first thing is get a pregnancy test done - we have to rule that out first priority - try getting a pregnancy blood test done - u cant be too sure with home test kits - if u do want to do a home test kit then do it in the morning with ur first urine - and please do it atleast 5 times to make sure !

You're young, and just starting to menstruate. Your body isn't on a regular cycle yet. Don't be alarmed. Cramps and light spotting are very normal. It may take up to a year before your periods regulate themselves.

its normal to have some spotting in between periods... but if your periods are usually regular and consistent, I agree with the others you should talk to the dr.   Could also mean pregnancy, could be something wrong, or could be nothing.... sorry to be vague, but a woman's body and period issues are kind of like the check engine light in your car... could be some little thing or a big thing, its hard to figure out w/out a professional!

Okay first of all, there is a chance that you can have a normal period during the first stages of pregnancy.  Second of all, the reason you are spotting (in my opinion) is because you had sex the day after your period was over.  Even though you are done, there is still residue built up that needs to clean itself out, and your man just loosened it up. Another thing to consider is that when you don't have sex for a long period of time, then sometimes you tighten up.  Did you have any pain or discomfort during intercourse?  \n\nHonestly, I don't think you are pregnant.
