I am pregnant. I started implantation bleeding on March 24th. Could I have conceived on March 4-9?

I have a boyfriend that I always have intercourse with. We stopped dating and I had sex with someone else on March 4th. I recently found out that I am pregnant (April 16). I started implantation bleeding on March 26 (but tested negative). Could I have conceived on March 4-9 with the other guy? My boyfriend and I are back together and im hoping that it is his child.

I tested negative for pregnancy during my implantation March 26 but tested positive on April 16th. Very early pregnancy because one line was really faint. I barely noticed it. I didn't notice until the next day when I looked again. Took 2 more digital test that came back positive. I really want to be pregnant for my boyfriend!

I have VERY irregular periods and they are very long (one time lasted 6 weeks a couple years ago). I take birth control to regulate it. As of recently I stopped in hopes that it would be regular. I have no idea when my last period was. Only the implantation spotting time.

Could the I have gotten pregnant by the other guy??? My ultrasound is tomorrow but this has really been stressing me out!

Thanx for the assuredness! Im excited for the ultrasound now just to know exactly how far I am, so I can let everyone know. :)

Thank you Alaysha! Everyone has been a big huge help!!! Thanks everyone.

I think in fact if I had sex on March 4th with the other guy, I should have implanted by March 19th to the max. Sperm lives maximum 5 days+ maximum 3 day ovulation+ 7 days travel through fallopian tubes= March19 implantation. And thats maximum. If in fact, it was implantation bleeding I did on the 26th. I should be ok.

Early ultrasounds (before week 13) are very accurate for dating purposes. They get a lot less accurate after that because before 13 weeks baby's all develop at the same rate and after 13 weeks they start developing at their own speed.

Yes it was actual pink spotting. sometimes it didnt show up when I wiped. My friends pressured me to take a pregnancy test since this was very unusual for me. But it was negative. But it did stain my white jeans. SO CONFUSED. The reason I took the test on April 16th was because it was just sitting there. and sure enough I was positive (faint positive). Went to the clinic and they confirmed the positive result. But I dont get my ultrasound until tomorrow. Im scared because I have been reading that some doctors can be a little off on dates especially without knowing when my last period was. If it was indeed my period but in fact really really light, that would be awesome! Because that would mean that I know for an fact that its my boyfriends baby and we can be one big happy family.  He even talked about marriage and moving in.

Implantation bleeding is usually just when wiping or a spot or two off blood. If you have irregular periods that could have been your period but shorter and then you ovulated around April 2nd.

[coffeebuzzedliz]

Implantation bleeding is only seen about 25% of the time and is usually a really small amount, like a tiny bit of blood on TP. You had said before you had irregular periods and stopped taking birth control to help this. So if you stop birth control your body might go back to the irregular periods which can include spotting.

[Nola_504]

On March 26th I had on white paints and I stained them. Thats how I remember the bleeding. My boyfriend told me to take them off. It was only a little and im used to having very heavy periods. Thats why I tested to begin with but it came out negative. So I assume it had to be implantation.

[Clysta]

Are you 100% sure it was on the 26th? Implantation bleeding is quite uncommon and many women mistake actual bleeding of another kind for implantation bleeding. If you had real implantation bleeding, it means you ovulated somewhere in the time frame of two weeks prior. It also is odd, because you didn't test positive until almost a month later after you say implantation happened, and in reality the hormone should be high enough after just a few days.

[alaysha]

Implantation is usually a week before you get a positive test.

[Nola_504]

Thank you Alaysha. I figured that also being that I waited 3 weeks and tested negative but it was also my implantation time. Im just really scared.

[Nola_504]

I understand that Liez. You are exactly right.

I know that I had sex with my boyfriend on March 17th. But we have sex pretty often. So it could have been b4 that also.

I know that sperm can live up to five days in the female body so thats why considered March 4-9. And yes I implanted March 26. Very confusing for me.

[alaysha]

I'm going to say its your boyfriends. The dates dont add up for it being the other guy.

[coffeebuzzedliz]

actually what I meant was how close together were you sexually activie with your boyfriend to the dates you were active with the other guy?

[coffeebuzzedliz]

The thing that I am confused about is that you say you had implantation bleeding on March 26th. Are you saying that the time you had had sex be fore this was on the 4th and that on the 4th the egg implanted. Having implantation bleeding on the 24th from intercourse from 4-9 would in my opinion be too much time. I think but don't quote me that implantation bleeding can occur from 3-7 days after you had had sex.  When were you last sexually active with your boyfriend?

[Liezl21]

yes it could be either guy's child. and the only way you'll know for sure is obviously a paternity test. pre or post-natal. if the current relationship is a healthy one, you will have to decide about telling your boyfriend or not (if you havent already). in my experience as a psychologist few relationships survive these kind of revelations intact. guys are less understanding than you may expect, yes even though you were not a couple on 4 March. the reality simply is that men have different rules for themselves than for women when it comes to sexual relationships! obviously deceit is not a good foundation for a relationship either. its a tricky one. good luck
