i literally got 2 positive pregnancy tests yesterday, after taking metformin for 2 months and i got weird pink spotting a couple days before that. it could be, but you need to take a test to confirm

Have you taken a pregnancy test? If it was “implantation bleeding” then hcg should have built up enough so show a positive test, even a vvvfl.

But also a glp1 (for me at least) messed with my hormones for a bit where my period disappeared for three months and just recently came back. Idk I feel like it was the weight loss that threw things off for a bit.

Weight loss and metformin both can make cycle do strange things, taking test is only way to know for sure

I’m going to test in the morning and then again in a few days. I’ve kinda just been waiting to see if this bleeding would actually turn into a real flow or not. But since it’s been 7 days I’m getting concerned. So we’ll see 🤞🏾

Implantation doesn’t last for 7 days and doesnt cause stringy discharge. IF spotting happens during implantation it is usually a very light pink and only lasts a day or two. This sounds more like a weird PCOS thing.

This is very unusual for me. Though, I won’t rule it out because I’ve heard a lot of different experiences regarding this. And some women I know like my mother have experienced “false periods” what seemed like an actual period but then tested positive for pregnancy as soon as it ended. Testing this morning, we’ll see what’s going on.

If it is implantation bleeding that started 7 days ago you would easily have a positive test as of today. Once implantation occurs hcg starts producing within 48 hours and then doubling. Yes there are other reasons for bleeding in early pregnancy like an SCH for example but implantation does not cause prolonged bleeding/spotting.
