Implantation bleeding is a light bleed that occurs when a fertilised egg embeds itself into your uterine lining, which happens typically 6 to 14 days following the time you conceived a child and this could immediately before you are due to get your monthly period. It occurs in about 15-25 per cent of all pregnancies. The Best Gynecologist in Agra can be consulted beforehand to make an evaluation of unusual spotting in women who are not sure about it.

Color and Flow

The implantation bleeding can be so light, in a pink, brown, or rust colour and they seem more of a light spotting than an actual flow. Menstrual bleeding, on the other hand, is usually initially bright red, which may afterwards darken, and has a heavier and consistent flow, capable of clots. In case of confusion, it is possible to differentiate the two with the help of the Best Gynecologist Doctor in Agra by history taking and clinical evaluation.

Duration and Pattern

The implantation spotting is short lived (a few hours - a few days, most often not exceeding 2-3 days). Typical periods, however, are more continuous (3-7 days).

Cramping and Symptoms

The cramps are normally mild and brief with implantation bleeding and you may have signs of early pregnancy such as sore breasts, nausea, fatigue or headaches. Period cramps, however, are more severe and lasted longer and are accompanied by signs of regular menstrual period like bloating and mood changes.

Timing and Pregnancy Testing

Implantation occurs before a missed period, making early tests possibly negative due to low hCG levels. Periods follow the regular cycle, usually 14 days after ovulation. The Best Gynecologist Hospital in Agra offers accurate testing and guidance on when to check for pregnancy.

How to See a Doctor

Implantation bleeding itself is not harmful but when excessive bulk vaginal bleeding is experienced, severe pain or clot, bleeding prolonged, it is advisable to consult medical care to rule out any mishaps like ectopic pregnancy or early miscarriage.
