Is Light Spotting caused by Implantaion Bleeding? Posted: 06-09-06 21:52pm
I had my last normal period on April 17th,
2006 and I should have received the next
period on May 21st. On May 31st, I
noticed when I wiped myself there was
blood. Sometimes it was brown and pinkish
like and then sometimes red. I usually
have very heavy periods but this is light
and I don't have to wear pads. I mainly
comes out when I wipe. I have been
experiencing this for about 9 days now. I
have been sleeping alot as well. I took a
pregnancy test about 2 weeks ago and it
was negative. Could this be implantation
bleeding? How long should it last? I am
very worried. Should I take another
pregnancy test, if so, when is the best
time?

It seems that you are not pregnant. You
can take another pregnancy test to be
certain. There is no such thing as
“implantation bleeding”; it doesn't
exist. There is some concern about your
recent bleeding, however. You will have
to go to your gynecologist to identify the
cause for the bleeding. The spotting can
be either functional or organic (tumor,
infection, etc.). Lack of the period can
also be caused by a hormonally active
ovarian cyst.
