Implantation Bleeding: What to Know & When to Test


Question
Hi Roni, I believe I emailed you quite a few days ago with symptoms I had that reminded me of being pregnant.  I'm only suppose to start my period Weds., I took a 4-days before preg. test last nite, and it came out negative.  Yesterday afternoon, I had one episode of brownish spotting, and then again today.  Other than that, no heavy bleeding, or feeling like my period is coming.  Could this be a sign of implantation bleeding?  If so, how soon could I take another preg. test?

Answer
Hello.  It could be a sign of implantation.  Or it could just be an "off" period.  Which is nothing to worry about in itself.
If it continues month after month or other symptoms are with it then you should be seen.
Dark or brownish blood just means it is old. Means you are not bleeding heavy.
You could take another test in about a week for it to be most accurate.
Good luck to you.
