Hi everyone!

I am having brown discharge and now it could be for several reasons - old blood, implantation, rhogam shot, precursor to m/c.

But I am completely confused about the "implantation" possibility.

I thought implantation happened BEFORE you got a BFP...not several weeks down the road.

I would love to get an explanation on this from anyone who knows.

Thanks!

The only way i can think it possible for implantation at 7 weeks is if a second egg was released and fertilised and is just implanting now, but even thats a long shot.....

Hope it's nothing to worry about it and everything is well

Someone i know was bleeding rather later on and it turned out her womb was stretchinf for the baby as shes only very little like 4ft 10.

Brown blood at 7 weeks isn't going to be implantation bleeding. I had some brown blood at 8 weeks and then yesterday, just very small amounts and noting to worry about. The nurse I spoke to at 8 weeks said that when your uterus is being given a clear message that it's going to be making room for a LO it clears out any old blood that is hanging about (which won't be a huge amount) and this is the brown blood that appears in your discharge.

In case it helps the nurse said that there was no need to worry and that I shouldn't be concerned unless there is a large quantity of red blood or I start to have severe abdominal or lower back pains. She said it was best to take it easy and try not to worry. A scan at 8 weeks 2 days (which was pre-planned rather than a reaction to the bleeding) showed that everything was fine.

I know when I was 7 & 9 weeks, I had some brown spotting and when i went to the hospital for it the doctors said it could have been implantation bleed, but to me that did not make any sense BUT what \I think it could have been was the implantation blood that had stored up there for a few weeks before it came down as brown old blood. hope this helps!!
