My husband & I are tring to conceive. This month I was supposed to start my period (11/21) but on 11/20 I experienced light brown spotting or light pink when I go to the bathroom. I have taken a pregnancy test before 11/20 and the day after but it comes up negative. Am I experiencing my period & it is just very very light? Or am I experiencing implantation bleeding that just so happens to be around the same time as my expected period? And should I keep testing to see if I'm pregnant? Any information would be helpful or similar situations.
You could test one more time and if it turns negative, I suppose that's it. HPT should test positive on the day or the day after you were suppose to get your period. It would be best if you had a blood test done and have a gyn tell you if you are pregnant or not.
I mean, there is a pattern about the ovulation, implantation bleeding and periods but things don't always work by the pattern.
Implantation bleeding could occur 6 to 12 days after ovulation.
