hi just a quick question can implatation bleednig be like a af as on cd14 which is the day i was ment to ovulate i had spotting when i went to the loo and yesterday when i went to the loo i had like a af type thing but im only on cd 19out of 28 so it cant be my af

I had that this month too it's somewhere In my journal I have to go find it..........................................K here it is:

I did do some researching and found this for anyone else who might be experiencing this:

As long as the patient is not taking oral contraceptives (OCs), mid-cycle bleeding is most likely ovulation bleeding. This type of bleeding is predictable, occurring 10-16 days after the onset of the patient's last menses, light, and lasts 12-72 hours. It occurs in 10%-30% of women and is considered normal, resulting from a sudden surge in estrogen at ovulation that then drops, causing destabilization of the endometrium. The patient need only be reassured that this is a common occurrence and is simply the way her body responds to the hormonal changes associated with her menstrual cycle. Patients who find this normal problem a nuisance may benefit from short-term estrogen supplementation during the periovulatory phase.

*Realized you also wanted to know about implantation bleeding implantation sometimes happens as early as 3dpo but normally about 6-10dpo so yes this could be implantation bleeding if you ovulated when you were supposed to.

I also read that it's a good sign of fertility

Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes Good Luck!

I never had IB so cant advise really but wishing you all the luck x

It sounds like ovulation / mid-cycle bleeding to me. Implantation bleeding would happen more like 7 days after you OV (wow, Capuru, I've never heard IB can happen as early as 3dpo, thought it was more like 7-10 days?!).

From what I hear, both OV and IB is light pink, not clotty or bright bright red. x

I am in the same boat as you, I wish I had answers but i'm waiting to see if it will be AF or if it's IB, yesterday at 8/9 DPO I started with spotting, still spotting today. good luck to you hun!

I have no idea how that eggy gets there so fast. I learned this during a research I honestly don't see it can happen so soon but you know it's one of those exception to the rules thing I guess. I believe it is waay less likely that implantation will be at 3dpo but body works in mysterious ways. I think that the higher average is 7-10dpo but it can be expected anywhere from 6-10dpo sometimes even later. Everyones different it just depends on your body.
