Hey there! Today, let’s dive into the topic of implantation bleeding. If you’ve ever wondered what it is and how it differs from your regular period, you’re in the right place.
What is Implantation Bleeding?
Essentially, it’s a light spotting that can happen when a fertilized egg attaches itself to the lining of your uterus. This usually occurs about 6 to 12 days after conception, which is why some people might mistake it for their period.
In a recent chat, Sarah shared her experience with implantation bleeding. She described it as a much lighter flow compared to her usual monthly cycle, and it didn’t last nearly as long. If you’re ever in doubt about whether you’re experiencing implantation bleeding or just your regular period, pay attention to the color and flow. Implantation bleeding is often pink or brown, rather than the bright red you might see during your period.
