Once the egg implants itself into the lining of the uterus after conception, some women may notice a slight trace of pink or brownish discharge. This is known as implantation bleeding and may be confused with an early period. It is estimated that 20-30% of women will experience spotting during early pregnancy, occurring approximately 6 to 12 days after ovulation . Implantation bleeding can generally be seen approximately a week before your period is expected to start. However, unlike a menstrual period that will get heavier as the cycle progresses, implantation bleeding does not become heavier.
If implantation bleeding is present, it will likely only last 1-3 days and may be accompanied by other signs of pregnancy, including fatigue, nausea, a missed period, frequent urination, increased sensitivity to smells and/or tender or swollen breasts. Most home pregnancy tests can provide an accurate pregnancy confirmation 9 to 10 days after ovulation.
Implantation bleeding should not be a reason to become concerned and does not have any negative effects on a pregnancy. If implantation bleeding, or spotting, is accompanied by cramping, backaches or increased bleeding, it is recommended that you call your healthcare provider. On the flip side, not all women will experience implantation bleeding and there should be no cause for concern if you do not experience this slight spotting during early pregnancy.
