how can i tell if i'm having implantation bleeding or my period ?

Question

My period was 7 days late now i'm bleeding could this be implatation blood?

Answer 1

Check for pregnancy : Check for pregnancy as well as see an obstetrician.

Answer 2

Cycle Date Diary : Is this the normal time of your cycle also quality of bleeding is it the same flow coagulation color.

Answer 3

Timing and testing: If sexually active and there is not a normal period, then testing for pregnancy would be useful. If spotting then a typical amount of bleeding in a day or so, especially if not sexually active, then "watchful waiting" is common. If any doubt or problems, then a call to an obgyn provider and/or home pregnancy test would be important. Also i apologize for images added to my answer to this question.

Answer 4

No certainty: there is no way to be certain what is implantation bleeding and what is menstrual period.

Answer 5

Timing: First there really is no such thing as implantation bleeding. There may be a spot or two but not bleeding when the fetus lands on the wall of the uterus. Menstruation happens once per cycle and on time in most cases. Implantation would happen a few days after conception, so much earlier in the cycle than menstruation.

Answer 6

Likely breakthrough: It's almost never implantation bleeding, that is largely an internet myth. If - a big if - you actually get implantation bleed it would be about 7 days after ovulation, or about a week before your expected period. If you bleed when you expect your period, a pregnancy test would be positive if it was implantation.

Answer 7

Possibly: I think implantation bleeding is not very common overall. Your timeline could represent implantation bleeding or it could be bleeding for other reasons. If you have ?'s you should ask your doctor. You may have to wait several days to figure it out. You can reliably check a pregnancy test on cycle day 32 or so. Good luck.

Answer 8

See your surgeon: If you are not sure if a newly placed implant is bleeding, see your surgeon. If it is a restored implant, then see your dentist. When a person gets their period, your gums willl be more inflamed and will potentially bleed more, but if you had receintly had surgery, absolutely see your surgeon.

Answer 9

Check pregnancy test: Ultimately the proof is in the pudding. After ivf it seems that some patients are concerned if they see a bit of bleeding following et and others are concerned if they dont see any bleeding after et (lack of implantation spotting). In fact, the only way to distinguish between these is the outcome of the cycle.

Answer 10

Bleeding: Your period most often comes at the anticipated time - the timing for implantation is prior to that. Most often bleeding does not occur with implantation. When it does occur it is usually just a drop or two. Maybe tiny bit of brown material or pink swirl in creamy discharge. Take care.

Answer 11

Check for pregnancy : Check for pregnancy as well as see an obstetrician.

Answer 12

Myths: Timing. Periods happen on time and expected. Usually. Other bleeding can represent trauma, infection, use of hormones, or irregular bleeding. There us no such thing as implantation bleeding. That is a fake untrue myth.

Answer 13

Timing & blood amt.: Implantation is when the conceptus (from union of egg & sperm) attach to the wall of the uterus. Bleeding most often dose not occur with implantation. If there is bleeding the amount is small. It may be small rust or brown colored drops or light pink swirled in white d/C. It usually occurs about ten days after ovulation. Take a home pregnancy test if you miss your period.
