Implantation bleeding Vs period bleeding

Hi all! May I ask , how did you notice it was implantation bleeding and not your period spotting? 4 days back , I notice light streaks of blood in my undies and when I changed & put some panty liners on , there wasn't any blood. It went on for about 3 days (the light streaks). I'm anxious as what other reasons can we bleed from below right? If this is really implantation bleeding, when would be best to test for pregnancy? I'm unsure with this process as with my toddler back then , I totally didn't realise I was pregnant until I was 6 months into the pregnancy. So it was back then a shock as we were not prepared. right now , I'd want to prepare myself better if I'm really pregnant with number 2. I humbly seek your expertise / advises and would like to hear from those who have experienced this. Thank you!! #worryingmom #advicepls #pregnancy

Hihi, i didnt know my last period was possibly implantation bleeding tbh. Now looking back, my memory is “ehh i tink colour abit diff, and shorter by 1 day” (my period usually 3-4 days after that is little spots of blood. But im nt 100% sure on visual blood colour/trait, just that i first realized my conception date was when i had my last period so work backwards and What i had prob is implantation bleeding. I tested myself when i was 2 wks late (cos sometimes my period one wk late) just to be sure. Bought both clearblue normal and digital 😆

Hi, I had implantation bleeding only around 12 days after ovulation (estimated). It was pink and brown. Literally two 50-cent-coin-size circles (spots) overlapping each other at one part. That was in the afternoon. After that, in the evening, my panty liner suddenly got soaked with very very pale red bleeding. No more bleeding after that day. A week later, still no period. I went to the clinic to get a pregnancy blood test and had a high hcg levels to confirm the pregnancy.

hi there! I've never experienced implantation bleeding but I understand some woman do which usually occurs between 9 to 14 days after conception or so.. usually, it would be most accurate to test a week after your missed period.. however, most of the better ones should be able to detect on the day of your missed period. I tested 2 days after I didn't get my period and the line was pretty dark by then! Good luck babe!
