Question

Implantation Bleeding or AF?

Yesterday at 10dpo I had some light pinkish brownish bleeding when I wiped and I thought AF had arrived early I put a light tampon in and when I went to change it only the tip was brown old blood. I have had a headache on and off for the last week, mild nausea, my boob are achey like I worked out really hard and I just feel pregnant. I took a test and I think I got an evaporation line but had to hold it up to the light to see it. I guess my question is: is this implantation bleeding or am I just crazy? I didn't get a positive urine test with my son until I was 61/2 weeks pregnant and I remember feeling like a crazy woman convinced I was pregnant even after not getting a positive test after my missed period. Please help!

It's possible that it could be implantation; but until you know for sure, I would recommend not using a tampon -- instead try a pantiliner or thin pad. It's my understanding that tampons may not be the best leakage prevention method when suspecting that you may be pregnant.

Implantation bleeding happens between 6 and 12 days so very possible and it takes another 2 to 3 days before there is enough HCG to detect by HPT.
