This is normal
No, implantation bleeding is not a necessary symptom of pregnancy. Some women may experience light spotting or bleeding when the embryo implants in the uterus, but many women do not have any implantation bleeding and can still be pregnant. Pregnancy is typically confirmed through a positive pregnancy test.
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
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.
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.
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.
After about a week.
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!
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.
I think that you can take a test now
This is probably your period. A pregnancy test will probably be more reliable if you wait until the bleeding stops.
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.
It's generally recommended to wait at least a few days after implantation bleeding to allow hormone levels to rise before testing for pregnancy. Waiting 1-2 weeks after implantation bleeding may provide more accurate results on a home pregnancy test.
