Does Leukorrhea Happen Before Implantation Bleeding? Brown Spotting After Removal Of Copper IUD
does leukorrhea usually happen before implantation bleeding occurs?
Reason I Question/History:
I had my copper IUD taken out on Oct 23rd. Had sex 3 days prior, 2 pull out methods the day it was removed, pull out x 3 the day after. 26th pull out method (with some that may have gotten inside). 28th TTC x 2. 29th TTC. 30th Pull out x 2. then Nov 2,3,5th sex with pull out method. I had what I thought was leukorrhea on oct 31st and nov 1st. then on 5th (today) Spotting slight around 1200 brown in color
spotting slightly more around 330 heavier brown in color
spotting slight pink/red in color after sex (some on penis) around 500
heavier spotting around 7pm pink/red in color (all seen on underwear/liners)
Questions:
1) does leukorrhea happen before or after implantation?
2) does this sound like pregnancy?
3) could it be a possible implantation bleeding?
Thank you!

Hello and welcome.
1. Leucorrhea commonly takes place after implantation bleed
2. There does exist a chance of pregnancy, although I fell an infection is more likely especially as you are trying to conceive
3. As mentioned, it could be an implantation bleed, but this can only be confirmed with thorough investigations as there are numerous possibilities with your current given presentation
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
