What exactly is implantation bleeding?
Usually implantation bleeding happens before your period is due. Implantation bleeding, spotting, can happen at the time the fertilized egg implants in the uterus, on average between 6 to 12 days past ovulation. It is is vaginal discharge which usually contains a small amount of pinkish or brownish blood and only last for 1 to 3 days. Only about 1 in 3 pregnant women experience implantation bleeding. Approximately one third of all pregnant women report bleeding that is associated with implantation. The presence of implantation bleeding does not increase the overall risk of miscarriage, however. Most pregnancies will continue until term without further bleeding. Hope this helps! Good luck!
