This usually means that the woman is pregnant, and it is not always a sign that something is wrong with the person\u2019s overall health. This said, keep your doctor informed if the bleeding occurs, just to be on the safe side.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When doing your prenatal care, it is of the utmost importance to find high-quality <\/span><a href=\"\/novac-md\/services\/#Pregnancy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">pregnancy care in Pembroke Pines.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Many different doctor offices offer prenatal care.

Above, we have mentioned the origin of the implantation discharge. Still, we want to elaborate more on when does implantation bleeding happen and why so women know \u201cwhat to expect when expecting.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Usually, after 10 to 14 days post-conception (when the sperm fertilizes the egg), the embryo passes through the fallopian tube and positions itself on the uterus wall. This is referred to as implantation, and sometimes it causes some of the wall blood vessels to break and blood to appear in the form of implantation discharge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This occurrence is very often confused with menstruation, so here are the main differences between the two:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bleeding is lighter, and implantation bleeding color is either pink or dark brown.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There is no clotting when implantation discharge occurs.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The occurrence does not require any medical attention.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although the timing of both is pretty similar (10-14 days after ovulation), implantation bleeding occurs a little bit earlier, making women think that they just got their period earlier than usual.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The amount of blood is much smaller in comparison to the period flow, so people also call it spotting rather than bleeding.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It usually lasts from a few hours to three days, while the period can last up to seven days.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some physical manifestations of implantation bleeding, apart from the actual blood, are nausea, very light cramps, and frequent urination.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, keep an eye on the implantation bleeding color, amount, and timing to be able to recognize and differentiate between your regular period and potential pregnancy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Symptoms of Implantation Bleeding<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">From the abovementioned facts, it can be concluded that implantation bleeding is one of the first signs that a woman might be pregnant. Below we are bringing you an extensive list of symptoms of implantation bleeding that will help you clearly recognize it.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As mentioned, the bleeding will occur some days before your regular period cycle, so keep track of your menstrual cycle regularly to avoid confusion.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The color of your bloody discharge will be different and will mainly vary between pink and dark brown or even black.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The bleeding will be very light, and it will not last longer than three days.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can experience mild cramps, which will be only temporary, or you might not experience them at all.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bloating and specific changes when it comes to cervical mucus might occur.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mood swings are a good sign of early pregnancy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You might experience tiredness, headaches, and dizziness.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Headaches, nausea, and vomiting are also good indicators of pregnancy (especially morning sickness)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tender breasts, swollen and painful to touch<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Constipation\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your sense of smell might be a little sharper than usual.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You might experience different cravings when it comes to food, but also some dislikes towards food that you previously might have liked.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The temperature of the body might increase a little bit.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All people are different, so not all of these symptoms occur every time. It is essential to remain calm if the implantation bleeding occurs, and if need be \u2013 feel free to contact your chosen medical professional if that will help you to avoid stress and potential anxiety.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Should I Be Worried at All?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Doctors and medical professionals, in general, say that implantation bleeding usually does not signal a problem but rather a good piece of news. Only 15-25% of women experience this sign of pregnancy, and in the majority of cases, it is a very typical occurrence. However, there are some potential concerns that you might want to be informed about when it comes to post-implantation bleeding, so below, we are bringing this information to you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are not sure whether the bleeding is occurring due to implantation or it is just a regular period, it is recommended to take a pregnancy test (a few days after the bleeding has stopped) to have a formal confirmation.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bleeding after the first trimester of the pregnancy is not normal, and you should contact a doctor immediately after the occurrence because the following can be the potential reason for the bleeding:\u00a0<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An ectopic pregnancy, where the egg was implanted outside of the uterus and is posing a severe threat to the health of the patient, so urgent medical attention is required.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/molar-pregnancy\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20375175\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">molar pregnancy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> where there is a benign tumor developing within the uterus, and regardless of its noncancerous nature, it is essential to consult a doctor.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A miscarriage indicates a loss of pregnancy and also demands a doctor&#8217;s intervention as soon as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If the bleeding you are experiencing is light, it can be caused by:\u00a0<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Irritation and tears from the sexual intercourse<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Irritation of the cervix (after a gynecologist exam)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vaginal infection\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An exercise regime that is too intense\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>What to Do Next?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1332 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toplinemd.com\/novac-md\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/211\/2022\/10\/What-to-Do-Next.jpg\" alt=\"Doctor and Patient Discussing Something While Sitting at the Table\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toplinemd.com\/novac-md\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/211\/2022\/10\/What-to-Do-Next-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.toplinemd.com\/novac-md\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/211\/2022\/10\/What-to-Do-Next-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.toplinemd.com\/novac-md\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/211\/2022\/10\/What-to-Do-Next-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.toplinemd.com\/novac-md\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/211\/2022\/10\/What-to-Do-Next-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.toplinemd.com\/novac-md\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/211\/2022\/10\/What-to-Do-Next-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.toplinemd.com\/novac-md\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/211\/2022\/10\/What-to-Do-Next-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.toplinemd.com\/novac-md\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/211\/2022\/10\/What-to-Do-Next.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are experiencing implantation bleeding, your next step is to confirm the pregnancy.
