Hi all.
I think I may be experiencing implantation bleeding, but am not sure.
The toughest part about figuring this all out is that I am on the pill and skip my period for two months at a time. So ovulation calculators, etc. can basically be thrown out the window.
Here is what has been happening. Please help!
My boyfriend and I had sex on October 20th. Then, two weeks ago, I started bleeding, around the time I would have if I had gotten my period. However, I am still bleeding, exactly two weeks later. I am not bleeding heavily, not like a normal period or anything, but enough to notice. It's probably a bit more than spotting. My breasts have also been very tender and swollen. They seem to have gone down a bit lately. I also have been experiencing some lower back pain, but nothing extreme.
I am still on the pill and only two days ago did I realize it could be that I'm pregnant. I am not sure what to do. My period is due to come next Tuesday, the 20th.
How soon can I take an at-home pregnancy test?
We really want to know if this could be implantation bleeding or if it it something else all together.
When was your last period? Did you miss any pills? While you might be pg, you may want to talk to your doc. Did you double up on any packages (to miss your period)? I've had friends that if they do that they will bleed lightly from when they should get their period until the next one...maybe that's what's happening.
dakini....my last period was over two months ago. That's the issue. So its very hard for me to tell. And yes, I've missed pills. I went away for a weekend and forgot to bring them with me, ended up missing three in a row.
I've been doubling up on my pills for years. I get really bad cramps when I get my period and my doc suggested this years ago. Probably at least 6 years that I have been doing this and on the same pills too!
I am going to make an appointment with the doc, but I wanted to seek out some advice first. From what I've read and my other symptoms, I thought it sounded like implantation bleeding.
nextsummer - what makes you think its a hormonal inbalance?
I'd definitely say see your doc. I have no idea about what might be happening...sorry. Though it could just be the same type of bleeding that my friends experienced...Hope it all works out for you.
It is strange. But it may just be a reaction to missing pills or even doubling up on packages...even if it's the same meds over time your reactions to them can change...see what the doc says. GL!
