Can Implantation Bleeding Be A Sign Of Pregnancy?

Posted on Mon, 12 Sep 2016

Question: I got my period on the 20 of July for almost 2 days then it stopped. Then it came back on the 24 of July at a normal flow. Now I had unprotected intercourse from 7/30 to 8/6 and 8/9. On 8/11 I had what's called implantation bleeding when wiping and it was pink and light and I happened twice. I been testing at home since 8/14 and today it's 8/20 and no positive home test results. I have a strong pregnancy symptoms

Brief Answer:
Pregnancy test done early.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Greetings

You have not mentioned about your previous menses details.

Do you have regular periods?

Are you having any hormonal alterations like PCOD or thyroid abnormalities?

The dates on which you had intercourse is confusing.
Is it 6th, 9th and 11th of August?

If it is regular cycle,we can approximately conclude the ovulation period.

Since regularity is not mentioned, difficult to comment. I think it is early to test your urine for pregnancy. You can wait till Aug 24th to test again with early morning urine sample.

If you want to confirm pregnancy you can get your blood hcg hormone analysis. You can upload the results.

Feel free to ask your doubts with more details.

After 24 of August.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
If your cycles are regular, can test after Aug 24th.

Card test with early morning urine sample.

Better would be to get a blood HCG level done at a lab, that will be more accurate and can be detected earlier.
