Implantaion Bleeding?

[noaddress.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone. I looked through memories and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. If it was there, many apologies. 

What exactly is implantation bleeding and how can you tell? I had an oops with my birth control where I didn't take it for a couple of days. It has been about a week since then. Yesterday I started having minimum bright red spotting and some mild cramping. I don't have PMS symptoms, so I wouldn't think thats what it is (but I could always be wrong). According to my BC I still have about 8- 9 days till I go to my off week. I have been pregnant before where I just missed one day, so I am freaked. I can't handle a kid right now and with my other prescriptions I don't think it would be safe for me to be pregnant. I have general anxiety disorder and panic attacks. (Trying so hard not to have one). Could it be possible that this was implantation bleeding? IF it is how soon afterwards can I take a test? Are there any other reasons this could happen?

Thank you for any and all advice. I am totally worried right now.  




*Thanks! I tried googling and implantation bleeding kept coming up and the idea of being pregnant right now scares me to death. I've never had spotted from missing a pill but I read more in to that and now I am not going to worry about it till period time. Thank you guys again so much! You helped a lot (and saved a final grade ~ now I can concentrate!)*

implantation bleeding is rare (as in not as common as the internet would lead you to think) it is usualyl bight red and only there for a short time when you wipe.
honestly it sounds more like skipped pill bleeding
