What are the symptoms of implantation bleeding?

Implantation bleeding occurs when the fertilized egg attaches itself to the lining of the uterus. This usually happens about 10-14 days after ovulation. Implantation bleeding is often light and may last for a few days. It is usually pink or brown in color and may be accompanied by mild cramps.

Signs and symptoms of implantation bleeding:

Implantation bleeding is often confused with menstrual bleeding. However, there are some key differences between the two. Menstrual bleeding is usually heavier than implantation bleeding and lasts for longer. It is also usually accompanied by more severe cramps.

If you experience implantation bleeding, it is important to see a doctor to confirm pregnancy. This is especially important if the bleeding is heavy or does not stop after a few days.
