Implantation bleeding?

I think I might be pregnant. I called my doctor and she said it is too early to test but stop taking your birth control pills. I stopped taking the pill yesterday and am now experiencing some bleeding and cramps. I should not get my period for another two weeks so is it early because I stopped the pill or is it implantation bleeding? How long should implantation bleeding last and how do I know if it's that or my period?

Answer:
Implantation bleeding is vaginal discharge which usually contains a small amount of pinkish or brownish blood. Only about a third of pregnant women experience implantation bleeding. It can happen at the time the fertilized egg implants in the uterus, on average between 6 to 12 days past ovulation. I would suspect implantation bleeding, if it occurs a bit earlier than expected, if it were scanty, spotty, pinkish and not red and heavy like a period, and does not follow the normal pattern of a period (light to heavy to light).
Unless accompanied by cramping, backache or increased bleeding, a small amount of blood being discharged should be considered as implantation bleeding which is nothing to be concerned about.
There is often the feeling that it is a period with light cramps and bloating, but the bleeding is shorter, lighter and just not normal.
If a woman is usually regular, and now all of a sudden develops this type of early spotting, and of course is "at risk" for a pregnancy I would strongly suspect conception.
With me, I had it 2 times and it was a very tiny amount and it lasted just half the day. That is all. It isnt alot of blood.
If you stopped the pill, you may not be pregnant. You may be about to start your period. Stopping the pill is the equivilent to taking the placebo pills in your birth control.

If the cramping is worse than normal, though, see your OB. It could be a miscarriage.
It's probably because you stopped the pill. Your hormone levels have dropped and your body thinks it's period time now.

Only 1/3 of women have implantation bleeding.
