<human>: Hi. We made love last week during my ovulating time and then 1 week later we had sex again - but after when I went into the bathroom - wiped myself and there was blood then I looked at myself and there was blood on me - cleaned myself up - then there was just little spotting and like brown spots - then that was it. And there were a couple the next day in my discharge and stomach cramps. I am not due for my period for another 12 days. Could this be implantation. I have never had this before - bleeding after sex. I have on the other hand had implantation bleeding in the past and did not know I was pregnant - thought it was just my period. Or could this be something more serious. It did scare the two of us. I am still having a little cramping but not as bad as yesterday. But I am also having some gas discomfort as well.
<bot>: Hi, Implantation bleeding is usually seen about one week to ten days after fertilization. In the current scenario, this is likely. The bleeding is usually fresh and sometimes mimics a period, as you mentioned in your history. The best way to know is to get an estimation of the serum beta-ChatDoctor titles since you are at least 7 days past your ovulation day and if conception had occurred, this would show up in the test. A spectrum examination can help to exclude local causes like erosion, polyps and infections. Hope this helps.
