Implantation bleeding or early period? Posted: 05-04-08 20:07pm
Hi!
So this morning I woke up feeling fine and
then all of a sudden I started having
cramps/bleeding. If this is my period it
would be more than a week early *about ten
days, can't remember the exact day my last
period started*.
I am underweight so I am used to having
late periods that are generally very
short.
After I started bleeding I went online to
look up the reasons why I would have an
early period and the first few sites I
looked at were all about implantation
bleeding.
What I am experiencing is really unusual
for me. Normally I start really heavy, but
I am really light and there is a lot of
brown vs. the normal red that occurs
during the first few days of my period.
Last week I took two ridiculously long
naps and have been going to bed early. I
have had dizzy spells *but am used to them
because its not unusual for me to get
them*.
I am not bloated. In fact I usually get up
to 112 pounds right before my period but
am currently at 108 and have been for
several days now.
I have been getting mild headaches and
back pain for the last week now as well
though both have been generally very
mild.
Oh, and when one of my cats decided to
stroll across my chest this morning it
hurt like crazy, and have been tender. But
they don't seem as large as they normally
get when I'm on my period.
I'm so confused due to the fact that it is
so early and I'm having these mixed
signals which are so often related to
getting my period but are unusual for me
personally.
Also... yesterday I started crying after I
read an article. Normally it takes a lot
for me to cry and I have to be at wits end
but I was perfectly fine and then all of
the sudden I'm crying...
I know if I took a pregnancy test so soon
it would come out negative so I am just
looking for advice or people with
experience. I know implantation bleeding
only occurs in one third of women also.
But no matter how much i looked it up
there was no typical type of woman who
would get implantation bleeding.
And its really been hard to find any
information about whether symptoms of
pregnancy are different in underweight
women.
Any thoughts or advice would be really
useful. Thanks (:

you should wait till you miss your period
and test. good luck. Are you trying?

Umm no. I am not trying. I would not mind
having a baby with my current partner but
now just is not the time. I'm only 20 and
I still have a lot of college left to
complete (which is really important to
me).
I am just really confused and afraid right
now. The situation is a little bit
difficult for me. I don't want to freak my
partner out by it either but this is soooo
terribly unuusal for me. It's never
happened before.
And i am moving to a new state in several
weeks and don't have a doctor there (or in
my current state). My period isn't due for
a while and waiting for it will kill me...
I'd love for this to be nothing and be all
in my head but I'm really freaked out by
the whole thing...
I have been researching this pretty much
all day and am just more confused then I
was before...
