How long can implantation bleeding last?

• I recently noticed some light pink spotting. then it turned a dark brown. this lasted for about 5 days. this happened a week before i was supposed to have my period. i also have been experiencing lower back pains. frequent bowel movement with loose stools(sry if too much) and head aches. i have also been tired all the time. i thought it might could be implantation bleeding but that is only supposed to last two days. what do you think?

• Answer:

  It could have been implantation bleeding. You're right, though, it usually doesn't last that long but everyone is different. It could have been breakthrough bleeding. There really is no way of knowing anything about a possible pregnancy before your period is due. Its called a two week WAIT for a reason. To avoid a false negative, don't test before your period is due. Sending you some positive HPT vibes +++++++++++++
