im in the same situation and just as confused. Ive been asking around for the same answer. What the overall consensus seems to be is that you can be spotting even after a positive test. It sounds like the spotting should be brown discharge and not heavy bleeding. Some sites even say that you can still have implantation bleeding 14 days into your pregnancy.
This is normal
No. Implantation does not always cause bleeding, a late period with a positive pregnancy test is the only way to be sure "implantation" or pregnancy has occurred.
You're more likely to get a positive test result after implantation bleeding, because the pregnancy hormones go up and up each day during the first trimester, and the higher the levels of the hormone, the more reliable the test will be
I would take one now. if you had implantation bleeding the test should come back positive. There might be enough hormone in your system to show a positive. Hope this helps.
Was the bleed like your normal period or was it more like spotting? What you could have experienced is what is called an implantation bleed, this could be the reason why the pregnancy test is positive. Implantation bleeding is a pink/brown vaginal discharge and it generally occurs around six to twelve days after ovulation and fertilization. The discharge will occur when the fertilized egg implants in the uterus. Usually if you test for pregnancy around the time that implantation bleeding occurs it will be a positive, however, if the bleeding is similar to that of your normal period it is unlikely to be implantation bleeding, it could be a sign that all is not well with the pregnancy as implantation bleeding is usually spotting, however, I am not saying that an implantation bleed cannot be like that of your normal period, so please do not worry. What I would suggest you should do is to see your family doctor as soon as possible as you will need a blood test to measure the actual amount of HCG....good luck.
Yes. You need to wait until you've missed a period No, not necessarily. I got an instant positive on 3 different HPT's exactly 24 hours after I had implantation bleeding, 4 days before my period was due. The implantation bleeding doesn't always "come out" when implantation occurs, it can take a couple of days, and depending on how fast your body produces the hcg will depend on how long it takes to get a positive.
7 days after implantation it is possible to show positive on a pregnancy test. If it's negative, wait a few days and test again.
I believe it may take 2-5 days in order to allow the pregnancy hormones to build up to a level where they can be detected by a home pregnancy test. Having said that, I took a pregnancy test within hours of having an implantation bleed with my son and it appeared positive within seconds!
Within about 5-7 days you should get a positive on a home pregnancy test. Once you experience implantation bleeding you can find out if you're pregnant by doing a pregnancy test about 2-3 weeks later. you can take a pregnancy test as early as 3 or 4 days before your period is due http://thefertilityshop.com implantations bleeding if you get it doesn't always mean your pregnant cause i got it on the 2nd may then got periods so .... if everyone who had implantation bleeding then i would be having a period while pregnant won't I
Your "abnormal period" may have been a threatened miscarriage or implantation bleeding, the pregnancy test is probably accurate but you should confirm with HCG level at your doctors or hospital.
You need to go and see a qualified medical practitioner (a doctor) about this.
It is rare that you will get a false positive. Make sure you are reading the directions correctly on the box for each pregnancy test you take. They need to be on a flat, dry surface and left alone until the time limit in the directions. If you had some bleeding/spotting this could be implantation bleeding which is common in your first symptoms of pregnancy. I only tested positive on a Clearblue pregnancy test. No other test would give me a positive. So it could also be the brand you are using. I wouldn't recommend dollar store pregnancy tests. Pregnancy tests aren't cheap, but you get what you pay for.
