Implantation bleeding vs. period?
EDIT: I’ve added a picture in the comments of the tests I’ve taken that are confusing me a bit. I’m well aware that one of them is an ovulation test (the middle one), which is the only thing I had on hand earlier this morning, so I figured I’d test that theory out lol…but the other 2 tests were taken about an hour ago and it looks to me like the FAINTEST of lines on both tests. They showed within time frame, but initially were harder to see because the test itself took a few minutes for all of the dye/urine to dissipate fully (if that makes sense? Like the background of the test was still showing as a blue colored hue for the first few minutes).
How long after implantation bleeding did y’all get your first positive test? I’m honestly not sure if what I’m experiencing is even implantation bleeding to begin with, but I feel like it COULD be. My period wasn’t supposed to stat until Thursday, but it started this past Sunday and already seems to be ending…it’s not over just yet, but there’s barely anything on my tampons at this point. The bleeding isn’t nearly as heavy as it usually is, but it wasn’t just spotting either. Does that make sense? It also seemed to be darker red/brown with no clotting the entire time as opposed to a brighter red with some clotting and stuff like it usually would be. I’ve also been experiencing different symptoms than I usually would with PMS. For example, I’ve been having hot flashes since this past weekend and had almost no cramping with the bleeding this time. Other than that it is still the usual tender breasts and some back pain. Long story short, could I MAYBE be pregnant and just not getting a positive test yet if this is potentially implantation bleeding rather than my period? I’m not super worried about it either way, it’s okay if I’m not pregnant yet, I’ve just never experienced such short, light bleeding before so I’m just curious for any answers or maybe any relatable stories!
Thank you all in advance! 🫶🏼
