What Are The Symptoms Of Implantation?

Hi. We made love last week during my ovulating time and then 1 week later we had sex again - but after when I went into the bathroom - wiped myself and there was blood then I looked at myself and there was blood on me - cleaned myself up - then there was just little spotting and like brown spots - then that was it. And there were a couple the next day in my discharge and stomach cramps. I am not due for my period for another 12 days. Could this be implantation. I have never had this before - bleeding after sex. I have on the other hand had implantation bleeding in the past and did not know I was pregnant - thought it was just my period. Or could this be something more serious. It did scare the two of us. I am still having a little cramping but not as bad as yesterday. But I am also having some gas discomfort as well.

Hi,
Implantation bleeding is usually seen about one week to ten days after fertilization. In the current scenario, this is likely. The bleeding is usually fresh and sometimes mimics a period, as you mentioned in your history. The best way to know is to get an estimation of the serum beta-hCG titres since you are at least 7 days past your ovulation day and if conception had occurred, this would show up in the test. A speculum examination can help to exclude local causes like erosions, polyps and infections. Hope this helps.
