What Is The Symptoms Of Implantation Bleeding?

So on Oct 9th or 10th I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend. We are both 20. Im having trouble figuring out if I m pregnant or not. I don t have a regular period because active anorexia ( I m doing my best to overcome this) so occasionally my periods will come a bit later than usual. As of October 8th I was 100% sure I wasn t pregnant. It s now the 25th and I m not sure if this is implantation bleeding or regular period. My periods generally last 3days. 1st day is spotting and gets heavy by night time, 2nd day heavy and a bit of clotting, 3rd day is clotting and usually ends by the morning. So today I woke up and felt like I was going to have my period and noticed some spotting. It s 1:35pm and it s gotten heavier. Now, I ve read a lot about implantation bleeding and pregnancy. Whats the quantity for implantation bleeding? After the spotting i put on a panty liner and soon had to change to regular pad. Does that mean this is my period. What confuses me is I ve also had some ligament pains in pelvic area earlier in the month...which is said to be a sign of pregnancy. But I think I ve had them before? I don t know. Any advice will help!!

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
There is no rule that bleeding has to take place to notice that implantation has occurred. Many a times implantation bleeding could go unnoticed.
Even if bleeding takes place following implantation, there is no specified volume and it is generally scanty.
If you are worried that you could have conceived, kindly get your urine tested for pregnancy and the could confirm by ultrasound scan.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
