Period supposed to start today and have veryyy light brownish/reddish blood that doesn’t get on pad and is only seen when I wipe. This isn’t common for my periods as day 1 I’m pretty heavy. Could this be implantation bleeding? And should I wait to test for most accurate result? (36yo and this would be 3rd pregnancy) |
The timing doesn’t seem right for implantation bleeding, but anything is possible. Since you’re not even 1 day late yet, the earliest you should test is Sunday. Good luck! Hope it’s positive. |
Thank you. Crossing my fingers

You absolutely can, if your cycle is short, or if you ovulated late. |
OP here - decided to stop questioning myself and just take a test — pregnant! Nervous what the bleeding means though but it’s still not apparent on underwear just very light when wiping. |
Congratulations! What DPO did you test on? I had implantation bleeding that I confused for an odd, very light period with my daughter years ago. That said, back then, my luteal phase was only 10 days so it made sense. |
At DPO 12 which is also the day my period was supposed to have started. I don’t think this is implantation bleeding.

Agreed that it isn't implantation bleeding unless you are ovulating super late (that has happened to me). I'm hoping that I just had implantation bleeding 3-5 days post ovulation. Few more days until I can test. |
All you can do is test again and ask your doctor for a blood hCG series, to see if the trend is normal or not. |
Yes I think so but just test. My positive showed up days before my period was to start. |
Congratulations! I had that with my second kid for *two* expected period cycles, so my doctor said it was implantation bleeding but i don't see it. That said, the rest of the pregnancy was totally uneventful and healthy! |
Implantation bleeding is not a thing. |
Congratulations! I had spotting on the day I expected my period but then it stopped and a week later thought, huh, that was weird. Tested and surprise baby #2! |
It happens for some pregnancies, but not all. All within the range of normal. |
I had an episode of brown spotting when I expected my period and I ended up being pregnant. I assumed it was implantation bleeding. |
