Fair warning, don't read this if you plan on eating. xd Unless you enjoy mucus-talk. O.o;
Okay, basic rundown:
Past Periods:
Jan. 19-24- Normal.
March 8-12- Normal.
April 16-18- Extremely light and a week late; Bleeding for about an hour, then nothing but a light brownish discharge for 2 more days
April 29-May first- That egg-whitey discharge, not a lot or super thick, but different from normal, and definitely similar to an egg white
May 3rd- See below. xd
Those are my last three periods. Last night, I peed and there was about a quarter-sized amount of blood. The rest of the night until this morning, there was a definite pinkish and then brownish tinged discharge. Thicker than a fluid, but not the same as like.. What I think is ovulation discharge.
Now, I had a few days with a weird discharge, thicker and what I believe they mean by the whole.. Egg white discharge you're supposed to get when you ovulate.
And if you haven't noticed by now, yes, I'm trying to get pregnant. xd
So, my questions:
1- What /exactly/ does implantation bleeding look like? Yes, I know it's different for everyone, but is what I experienced possibly it?
2- If I was exposed to sperm a few days before I ovulated, and then during, what would the likelihood (With the symptoms I had) that it would signal pregnancy?
3- I've never had spotting before, and my last period was very odd. Signs of pregnancy? xD
Obviously, I need to see a doctor. rolleyes But, it's most likely too soon for that. I took a cheap test earlier today, and there was a super faint line, but it could be a mistake with the test, eh? As I shouldn't be able to get a positive result for another week or two?
So humor me. xp

It is possible that it is implantation bleeding, but we can't be sure. Many women have bleeding that seems like implantation bleeding, but they aren't pregnant. Also, most women who are pregnant never notice any implantation bleeding at all.
The implantation bleeding is usually more brownish or pink than red and does not last for very long. It often occurs close to the time that the woman is expecting her period, so it is often mistaken for a period. However, there are other things that could cause that to happen other than pregnancy. Many things can effect your period, so it isn't safe to assume it isn't spotting from that just because you have never spotted before.
We can't tell you your chances of being pregnant since it depends on so many factors. Many couples have sex during their fertile time without conceiving.
It's a vague answer, but it's difficult to be more specific when dealing with pregnancy symptoms. Pregnancy is a vague thing with vague symptoms that it shares with dozens of other things.

Not to mention it's impossible for us to know your body. Generally, any line on a pregnancy test is a positive. You are much more likely to get a false negative, rare to get a false positive (rare, but happens). Pregnancy symptoms are so vague and fit the description of so many million other problems, not to mention they can be psychosomatic. The test also depends on when you took it, amount of HcG in the urine, etc. I was able to find out I was pregnant before I had my period with my last son. Some tests are better.

I'm not expecting anyone to know my body, I'm just not sure what discharges are supposed to look like.. Hearing something described in medical jargon doesn't really tell you much, and I certainly don't go around asking random women on the street "Hey, when you were pregnant, did you get implantation bleeding? What'd it look like?"
I'm not asking if I am pregnant, I'm trying to get the opinions of other people who have experienced things like this. I was under the impression that was what the guild was for. whee I've done research, but it's nice to hear about other people as well.
Usually when I test, I wait until after I've been sleeping at least 6 hours. I don't have a real regular sleep schedule, so that's not always in the morning.
I have several pregnancy symptoms, but as you've said, it's a vague thing.

Well, the doctor would know best. xd You can always call your doctor or nurse advice line since they have your medical history and files on hand if you have been TTC.
Most women, unless they are actively TTC, tend to not pay attention to ovulation and discharges. When I had my implantation bleeding (when I didn't find out till later), other than a late period, there really wasn't much to it. Then again, I wasn't really paying attention to every detail. A lot of women have it and never know they were pregnant in the first place. Then again, I don't know many women who've had set, rhythmic periods with zero problems or questions with their cycle either. Stress, weight, food, lots of things can affect the rhythm.
It could be too you are looking for these changes as well. Unless you're the type that monitors it all the time, as per actively TTC, it's hard to gauge if it's "normal" for you versus another woman.
When you ask the likelyhood of signaling pregnancy with having sex, well, all you have to do is look at your ovulation chart (www.yourdays.com) or check out statistics on the methods you used or did not use.

I've definitely been paying more attention to myself, but I really never got a whole lot of education on the matter. xd I'm still waiting on that sex talk with my mom... O.o;
With my son, I never had any pregnancy symptoms but the missed period, and I chocked that up to stress since he was conceived during a really stressful part of my life. No morning sickness, no bleeding, nothing. Just "Wow, haven't had my period in a few months.... Oh. That's why."
But, since I know various pregnancies can act differently, I"m trying to be more observant this time. xd That, and I'm definitely getting the frustration from it.

I know how your feeling right now and i feel for you. I tried for 11months for a child and now im 8 weeks pregnant, and im so excited but a site really helped me. Because i made an ovulation calender on the site and said my most fertile days. Babyzone.com
It works wonders i dont think i would be pregnant today if it wasnt for that site!
