Retest one week after your missed period, some tests are sensitive enough to use the day your period is due but others are not. By one week after your period was due, your hCG will be at a level any HPT should be able to give an accurate and reliable answer.
Using the HPT 5 days before your period is due is always going to be unreliable, unless you have very irregular cycles. Generally speaking, ovulation occurs 14 days before your period is due, you then have a 24 hour window to conceive. 10 to 12 days after conception the fertilized egg starts implanting into the uterine wall, at that time your hCG level starts rising and will be at the necessary 50mIU/ml to 80mIU/ml - between 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 weeks following conception, which just happens to coincide with the week your period is due.
Spotting alone is not an indication of pregnancy, you would have to have other symptoms to tie it in. It could be a sign of implantation. I would wait for more symptoms or a late AF before assuming PG.
Yes and no, if you are spotting it may very well be just that, spotting. But it could also be 'Implantation Bleeding', common in early pregnancy. Best way to find out, go to the shop and get a pregnancy test. Better way, go to your doctor and get a blood test.
Implantation Bleeding After ovulation the egg travels into the uterus and burrows into the lining of the uterus. For some women implantation will cause slight bleeding or spotting. This is called implantation bleeding. This is sometimes confused for an early period. What does implantation bleeding or spotting look like? Implantation bleeding, also called implantation spotting, does not look like a regular menstrual period. Implantation bleeding is scanty and usually pink or brownish discharge. Implantation bleeding or menstrual period? Implantation bleeding normally occurs a week to a few days before your period would normally start. Spotting that occurs around a week after ovulation is likely implantation bleeding; whereas, spotting that occurs very close to the time that your period would normally start may not be. A normal menstrual cycle generally starts off light and then gets heavier. Spotting can sometimes be the sign of an early period. If this is the case, the spotting will pick up to heavier bleeding. If you have spotting right around the time your period would normally start, it can be more confusing. You will need to take the wait and see approach or take a pregnancy test to determine pregnancy.
You can conceive at any time throughout your cycle, including during your menstrual period. Spotting generally occurs during implantation and other times throughout a pregnancy. Spotting can also occur just before or just after a menstrual period. If you are concerned you may be pregnant, you should obtain a pregnancy test.
This may be implantation bleeding.
From what I have been reading about implantation bleeding I would say that the dark spotting is that. I would say that you should estimate a week before the dark spotting and that is when you got pregnant.
Hi, No this isn't normal hun. This sounds like break through bleeding. This can happen when pregnancy has occured and is usually implantation bleeding or when the doseage of birth control isn't high enough for you. Perform a pregnancy test in 2 weeks. If the test is negative then you aren't pregnant. If you experience brown spotting prior to your next period arriving, then see your doctor.
No. Spotting can occur during pregnancy.
Implantation bleeding = you are pregnant!
Brown spotting is usually referred to as old blood and can be a indication of pregnancy, implantation bleeding, urinary tract infection, vaginal/reproductive infection etc. Spotting is also known as break through bleeding when on birth control pills. There is also a condition referred to as Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding which means spotting or bleeding before or after your periods. Do a pregnancy test first. Then see your doctor hun.
Spotting before you get a heavier flow is very normal...If you are normally like clockwork and you only have spotting and do not get a regular flo within the next 3-4 days then it is very possible that you are pregnant and that the spotting is implantation bleeding.
Yes spotting can be a early sign of pregnancy it is cause from the egg implanting into the uterus causing some slight bleeding.
