Implantation bleeding, also known as implantation spotting, is a mild form of bleeding that can occur in early pregnancy. It happens when a fertilized egg implants itself in the uterine wall. This process usually takes place 6 to 12 days after ovulation, around the time you would expect your period. Because it sometimes resembles a light period, it can be confusing.<\/p>\n\n\n
When the fertilized egg implants in the uterine wall, small blood vessels may be damaged. This can cause light bleeding. This is a normal process and no cause for concern. Not everyone experiences implantation bleeding; some women do not notice it at all.<\/p>\n\n\n
Amount of blood: Blood loss is light, often less than during a normal menstrual period.
Color: The blood is often light pink or brown, and usually darker than menstrual blood.
Duration: It usually takes 1 to 3 days.
Pain: You may sometimes feel mild cramps, but they are less severe than menstrual cramps.
Timing: It usually occurs one week after ovulation, just before the expected menstrual period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
