IMPLANTATION BLEEDING: WHEN DOES IT OCCUR?

SIGN UP



Trying to get pregnant is both an exciting and sometimes stressful time. It
seems like you are always waiting and looking for any kind of signs that you may
be pregnant before taking the pregnancy test. One of those signs that some women
experience is light spotting or implantation bleeding. 

But how can you know if it is different than your period? Sometimes women have
no spotting or implantation bleeding. Sounds a little scary. It’s also not only
a great idea to be able to recognize that implantation bleeding is different
than your period, but also has similar but also different signs of an early
miscarriage. 

So, what exactly is it?


WHAT IS IMPLANTATION BLEEDING?

Roughly 7-14 days after fertilization it’s possible to experience light spotting
or bleeding. This is referred to as implantation bleeding. Because our uterus
lining thickens during our menstrual cycle, when the egg is fertilized, the
lining needs to thicken more rather than shed as it does for our period. 

Once the egg and sperm have formed it will turn into the embryo. When the embryo
travels to the uterus it may pop little blood vessels along the way which can
cause very light bleeding. This blood is usually light pink or brown instead of
a deep red that you may notice in your period. 

It’s very normal for anyone trying to get pregnant to be either disappointed to
see blood or worried. However, it is quite normal and a lot of women experience
this. 


HOW COMMON IS IMPLANTATION BLEEDING?



Implantation bleeding is relatively common as about 25 percent of women, or one
in four, experience light bleeding between 7-14 days after conceiving the child.
However, doctors do like to note that not every spotting is a sure sign of
pregnancy, spotting itself quite common in irregular periods. 

Where it applies to pregnancies is that specific timing about halfway through to
your period. While every woman is different, some doctors may recommend taking a
pregnancy test after a few days if you suspect you are, while others may
encourage you to wait until after the first missed day of your period. 

This is mostly because implantation bleeding can be hard to differentiate
between an irregular spotting period and an early miscarriage. It’s normally the
day that follows that gives us a better sense of what it was.  


WHEN DOES IMPLANTATION BLEEDING HAPPEN?

 

Implantation bleeding, if you get it, will happen in early pregnancy. It
typically starts around 10-14 days after conception but can occur as early as
day 6-7 after conceiving. Vaginal bleeding is very different and can occur
anytime during the first eight weeks of your pregnancy. 

Let’s break down the specifics of the entire cycle. 

 * Day 1: This is the first day of the entire menstrual cycle and the last
   period you had. 
 * Day 14-15:  Depending on how long your cycle is (most 28 days) you will
   ovulate halfway through your entire cycle. So, in this example, a 28-30 cycle
   would indicate that you are ovulating on day 14.-15. 

While an egg only lasts 24 hours, sperm can stay inside your body for 3-5 days
which means that it can be difficult to get the timing of pregnancy down. For
instance, the sperm from three days ago could be the one that matches with your
egg or the one from five days ago if you are frequently trying to conceive or
having intercourse. 

 * Day 22-26: Around day 22-26 the egg that has been fertilized will attach
   itself to the uterine wall. 

Now you are just about back to the beginning of your period. This is where you
can use the symptoms and signs to tell if you are experiencing regular flow or
spotting/implantation bleeding. 

Again, keep in mind that everyone's cycle is a different length. This means that
if your cycle is much shorter you are going to experience very different numbers
than listed above. This is just a general and common example of how it works. 


IMPLANTATION BLEEDING SYMPTOMS



Identifying implantation bleeding is important because it is quite different
from your period bleeding. You can look for the following characteristics and
symptoms that can help you differentiate the two. 

 * Timing
 * Heaviness
 * Cramping
 * Clotting
 * Length of Flow
 * Consistency

Keep in mind that every woman’s body is unique and can experience unique
symptoms. These are the general symptoms women experience with implantation
bleeding. 


TIMING

As mentioned, the timing can be particularly important to pay attention to. when
it comes to implantation bleeding and pregnancy. It will typically occur in
those 6-14 days or halfway till your scheduled period. 

You can use an app like Flo if you have trouble keeping track of your menstrual
cycle. 


HEAVINESS

The key to recognizing this is implantation bleeding is that it will be
spotting. Just a little bit of blood here and there but not anything real heavy.
IF you need a regular super tampon to stop what’s going on then this is not
implantation bleeding. 

It can always start like spotting or implantation bleeding but then turn into a
heavier flow. This would indicate that the original spotting was not in fact
implantation spotting, to begin with. 


CRAMPING

This should mirror the heaviness of the spotting or bleeding. Typically, a
period will induce more intense cramps that will linger around a little longer.
With the spotting or implantation bleeding you may experience lighter more
short-lived cramps. 

Because every woman’s threshold for pain is slightly different, what might feel
like an intense cramp to one woman may not feel comparable to another. It is
best to judge for yourself based on previous period cramping whether this is
better or worse. 


CLOTTING

Clots in your blood will indicate that this is your period and not spotting
because with spotting and implantation bleeding the tissue and blood do not mix.
This is because the uterus is not shedding its lining like it would on your
period. 


LENGTH OF FLOW

A regular period will last anywhere between 4-7 days. Implantation bleeding is
very minimal and quick. It usually only happens about 1-3 days and not a whole
lot longer. Implantation bleeding is also very on and off which can sometimes
confuse women because they don’t know when they start and stop is. 


CONSISTENCY

Implantation bleeding is on and off spotting where your period will be more
consistent requiring the use of pads or tampons more frequently. Implantation
bleeding may be around for one day and not the next. A period you are likely to
bleed on the hour or a few times a day always needing some sort of protection
for your underwear. 


IMPLANTATION BLEEDING FAQS

There are other symptoms you can look out for and signs you should take note of
in case of possible health issues, Implantation bleeding is not as complicated
to understand. It’s what can be confused for implantation bleeding that we
should ask more questions about. 

What are the other symptoms of pregnancy that can pair with Implantation
Bleeding?

If you are experiencing some spotting but aren’t unsure if it is irregular
period spotting or actual pregnancy, you can look for these other pregnancy
signs to help investigate the situation.  

 * Nausea
 * Tender/Sore Breasts
 * Headaches/Migraines
 * Feeling Tired and Fatigued
 * Lower Back Pain
 * Irritability/Mood Swings

When do I need to take a pregnancy test?

If you suspect you may be pregnant from other symptoms such as the mentioned
above paired with spotting, it is never harmful or a bad idea to take one.
However, if you are not as worried you can always wait for a little to let your
period pass and look for signs of clotting, color, heaviness, etc. 

A urine pregnancy test will be able to tell your results and is 99 percent
accurate. This test is meant to be taken the first day after your missed period.
However, other pregnancy tests are more urine sensitive that won’t make you wait
till your first day of missed period. 

If you choose to do a blood pregnancy test (doctor administered only) they can
detect the conception of the baby as soon as 11 days after becoming pregnant. 

What are some ways to measure the amount of flow/spotting?

If you require a tampon there is a good chance that this is your period. This is
likely too heavy for it to be implantation spotting. You can use a piece of
toilet paper to see just small traces of light pink blood. 

Or if you can essentially go through a pad in two hours is considered to be too
much virginal bleeding to be considered spotting. 

What are the causes for bleeding after a missed period?

Bleeding after a missed period is different than both menstruation and
implantation bleeding. Sometimes this may be an issue at all and at other times
it is a warning sign for a potential health issue. Some bleeding during the
first trimester is normal for more sensitive women.

Here are some times where it may be an issue:

Ectopic Pregnancy: Extremely rare as only one to two percent of pregnancies
experience this. This is when the egg has fertilized outside the Placenta. This
is dangerous and causes extreme pain in the back.  Molar Pregnancy: Mass of
tissue develops from the egg instead of a baby. In this case, a pregnant woman
may pass a lot of blood clots as the bleeding usually occurs between 6-12 weeks
of pregnancy. Miscarriages: This is the loss of your baby before 20 weeks and
results in an unexpected abortion. This is more common and happens to 15-20
percent of women.  Subharmonic Hemorrhage: This is when the placenta detaches
itself from its original implantation. This can cause bleeding between the
uterus and the gestational membranes (placenta) during pregnancy.

 

Most people talk about the differences between Implantation bleeding and a
period but hat about a miscarriage?

Some of the same similar symptoms can occur with implantation bleeding and a
miscarriage such as cramps and the bleeding itself. Sometimes the difference
between the two may be obvious while other times a woman may not recognize it. 

An early miscarriage does have the ability to start as early spotting or light
bleeding. What happens next to usually distinguish itself is that the bleeding
will start to turn into a heavier flow. This may include visible clots and the
color may change from that light pink to the dark red or brown color.

This is very similar to a normal menstrual period. Heavier cramping and passing
of tissue is also a sign of miscarriage. 


BABY STEPS

It can be so exciting trying to get pregnant or even nerve-racking in some
cases, that we can overanalyze and look to signs and symptoms to try to give us
an early sign. While implantation bleeding is an early tell of being pregnant it
can be really difficult to pinpoint that is what it is because we don’t know
until after a few days of experiencing it. 

Of course, if we look towards other signs that we may be feeling paired with the
light spotting then it may be easier to guess that is what’s going on. For the
women who didn’t know it was normal, no need to fret because at least one in
four women experience implantation bleeding once the embryo tries to make its
way down the uterus. 

There are some instances, typically later in pregnancy, that you will want to
look out for. Any time that the spotting turns into heavier bleeding and you are
aware that you are pregnant, you should consult a doctor. This may be a sign of
a health issue that they will need to diagnose.
