Am taking a pregnancy test next week. I really hope am pregnant❤

[rosamundperry]

I love your sensible yet compassionate approach. Thanks for making it so relatable

[aterikaymonne]

Every person is also different because I still had a period for 3 months before I missed my period and found out I was pregnant the whole time. I still had a healthy baby boy. So just because you have a period don’t mean you not pregnant.

[Mother-of--xt]

I’m 10dpo and I had brown/pinkish spotting for about 4 days and never turned into a period flow.

[KatlegoClaasen-on]

Finally a doctor that answers my questions thank you so much as I was worried about seeing blood during ovulation yet it was light color was light and watery

[miamartinez]

I’m 7-9DPO with brown spotting that turned very light pink bleeding and only showed at 12pm (brown) 11pm(light pink) and only showed up when I wipe. Period due in 5 days. I just thought that my period was about to start but when I have my period I have really bad cramps and it’s a constant flow. This is not that. I’m moody and exhausted but none of my normal PMS symptoms right now. I’ll be testing in 3 days! Hoping it’s implantation bleeding

[hn]

I had a faint positive at 10 dpo, negative at 11 dpo and then started bleeding that day, which continued 4 days light ans then medium flow, with light clotting. But that is much shorter and lighter than normal, so I took another test this morning (15 dpo) and got a positive, much darker than before and not even 1st morning urine. 😅 So confusing.

[jvnc]

Hello Doc, I experienced 3 days light bleeding before 7 days of my periods, it was Dark brown and cramps and back pain was mild ! I didn't get my periods I'm now 6 days late! I took a test and I got negative result Idk what's really going on ! Please help Thank you💕

[ldr]

I would suggest the easiest way to tell the difference would be Basel body temperature? If it’s your period the temperature will drop significantly (you need to know what it was before bleeding). If you are pregnant the temperature will stay elevated.

[cosmicfaeperfumery]

I am pregnant but my implantation bleeding was heavy like a period for only 1 day and then stopped I knew it was weird because I always have a 3 day period. I tested two days later and got a positive result. Am I just weird or does this happen to anyone else?

[leefamilychannel]

I’m 47 years old. I had my period on 12/20/23 & it wasn’t heavy like usual, it just spotted a little. Then it stopped a little on 12/25/23 but still spotted brown. So looks like It never completely stopped. Then on 1/7/23, the period begin again but not heavy. When I whip sometimes I see bright red & other times it’s dark red. Is it due to my age or what’s going on? I have never experienced this in my whole life. Please help.

[richelmaesayson]

[ayeshasiddikashondhi]

I started spotting exactly 12 days after ovulation. It wasn't even my period date. But I thought it must be early. Then it didn't stay more than a couple of hours but had smudge of blood until the day after. Can't identify what it is. Can you help?

[kmontez]

What about smell? We are in a 2 week wait and usually my wife’s period smells like strong iron. This “period” there is no smell. This is definitely frustrating

[GabyG]

Im cramping a lot but it’s like my period wants to come but at the same time it doesn’t 😞 it’s being bipolar and I need it to make up it’s mind 😅
