Implantation bleeding or period?

[sunkissedbeauty]

I have been nauseous with mild cramping for the past 2 weeks. I had a “period” September 11-12 that was light flow and then just brown discharge for a couple days after. I’ve tested several times and they’re all negative. I thought the nausea and cramping was just PMS but I’m not having the discharge anymore and I’m still cramping and nauseous.

Anybody else experienced this? Should I just keep testing to see if I’m pregnant?

-ive also had some dizzy spells and my sense of smell has really heightened. Along with bad gas, occasional headache, hip pain and diarrhea

Hi hun, I’m hoping for you. These are the ways to distinguish implantation bleeding from period. A thing is quite experienced among ladies, here's what our dr in BTC explained us.

Firstly, you should consider timing. Implantation bleeding starts approximately in a week before period. Thus, bloody discharge after ovulation is likely to indicate possible conception. Bloody discharge after missed period is in question, the majority of gynecologists claim it`s impossible.

Then the character of the bloody discharge. We know that implantation bleeding looks like spotting. At the same time period usually starts from the similar scanty discharge with blood that is intensifying during the next few days. In rare cases implantation bleeding occurs shortly before period or even during period. In this case you should pay attention to the character of your discharge. If it is slight and do not intensify, it can be the sign of successful conception and implantation.

And, of course, you may make a pregnancy test. It can be already taken on the 8th–10th day after ovulation. However, do not expect the brilliant accuracy. If your hCG-level is not enough yet, the home pregnancy test will show you the false negative result. Try again a bit later then.
