Is Spotting Due To Implantation Bleeding?
Am i pregnant? I have been spotting for about a week pink and brown blood i was think it was my period i was 2 weeks late. I usually have very heavy bleedin cramping periods so this is completely not normal for me. I took an at home test and it came back negative. So what is going on is this what is call implantation and if so when would a pregnancy test show positive? Very worried please help i was not trying to get pregnant so ive been on birthcontrol do i keep taking it like regular or what?

Hi there,
After going through your question, I am of the opinion that:
1) Missing periods or late periods could be a sign of pregnancy.
2)However, if you are on birth control, chances of pregnancy are very less.
3) Spotting could be due to ovulation if it is mid-cycle. Implantation bleeding generally occurs near the date of next periods.
4) Pregnancy test becomes positive after about 2 or 3 days of missed periods, but can sometimes take more time. It can also give false negative results.
5) If you want accurate result earlier, you can go for a blood test called serum beta HCG which becomes positive by 3 or 4 weeks.
I hope this was helpful.
