Implantation bleeding is a common early sign of pregnancy that occurs when the fertilized egg implants in the lining of the uterus. It typically happens 10-14 days after ovulation and can be mistaken for a light period. Implantation bleeding is usually lighter than a regular period and lasts for a shorter duration, usually only a few days. It can also be accompanied by other early pregnancy symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, and breast tenderness.

If you experience implantation bleeding after your menstrual cycle, it is important to take a pregnancy test to confirm if you are pregnant. If the test is positive, you should schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider to discuss your pregnancy and ensure that everything is progressing normally.
