Implantation ???'s / TMI?

I'm sorry I am sure these questions have been asked, but I couldn't find the answers:
1. How long after implantation can you test?
2. How long does it last?
3. Is it mostly blood or other "fluids" mixed in?

FYI: Doc said I was O'ing Monday. Wednesday BD'ed (I think it was a little late, but worth the try). Sat/Sun bleeding.

TIA

Re: Implantation ???'s / TMI?

I'm curious about this as well....anyone?

Re: Implantation ???'s / TMI?

I think you should wait til the day that you are supposed to get your period. You can test earlier than that, but honestly, you will get the best response the day you are late.

As for implantation spotting, I think I had that 7-8 days after I O'd. It was just light spotting.

Also, I O'd on a Friday, DH and I bd on Sunday morning and I got pregnant, so you may not be too late!

How long after implantation can you test?

It takes about 4 days for the fertilized egg to travel down the fallopian tubes to your uterus then implantation hapopens over the next 2-3 days. Sp theoretically you could test on CD 7 or 8 but I think a positive is very rare then-I would say start testing on day 10 or 11.

How long does it last?

See above

Is it mostly blood or other "fluids" mixed in?
I believe it is a mix-color should be pinkish or browqn but i have even heard of people having bright red blood HTH

Re: Implantation ???'s / TMI?

I have a TMI question to add to this - I am 8DPO and this morning, when wiping found what looked like a brown fluid mixed in almost like a CM. Does anyone know if this could be implantation spotting? TIA!!
