Does decidual bleeding happen after implantation?

Yes, decidual bleeding, should it occur, happens after implantation. It is considered to be fairly rare. It is sometimes mistaken for a menstrual period by women who do not realize they are pregnant.


What is implantation bleeding and when does it happen?

Implantation bleeding is vaginal discharge which usually contains a small amount of pinkish or brownish blood. Only about a third of pregnant women experience implantation bleeding. It can happen at the time the fertilized egg implants in the uterus, on average between 6 to 12 days past ovulation. Unless accompanied by cramping, backache or increased bleeding, a small amount of blood being discharged should be considered as implantation bleeding which is nothing to be concerned about. Implantation can sometimes cause a bit of spotting or bleeding, known as implantation bleeding. Implantation bleeding is a small amount of bleeding in the uterus that occurs when the egg implants into the uterus. A specific tissue, known as trophoblast, develops from the fertilized egg and it surrounds it. It is what attaches the egg to the inside of the uterus, and actually eats its way into the uterus. The trophoblast actually pulls the egg to the inside of the endometrium. Trophoblast even invades the mother's blood vessels and diverts her blood to the fertilized egg. Sometimes, this blood will leak and this causes implantation bleeding. Thus, it is possible that it can be as many as 7 to 14 days between the time of sexual intercourse and the time that the fertilized egg implants in the uterus.


Can implantation bleeding be confused with your period?

Hi, Yes implantation bleeding is regularly confused with a light period. However implantation bleeding will not be heavy normal like period bleeding, it will simply be a light period lasting 48-72 hours or spotting of blood in your underwear. This bleeding always occurs 6-12 days after you had unprotected sex. If you suspect this is implantation bleeding then see your doctor for a quantitative beta hcg pregnancy blood test. You will need to write down the name of this test and you must ask your doctor specifically for this test. Please note this is advice only and should not be used in place of a medical experts.


How much blood and how red is implantation blood and how soon does it happen then after implantation is it normal to experience some bearable pain?

Only approximately 1 in 3 women experience "implantation bleeding", which is no more than light spotting. There should be no pain involved since the implantation of the fertilized egg is in the accumulated blood lining in the uterus which has no nerves.

Can implantation bleeding last 9 days?

Not generally. It should only last two to three days on average. Implantation bleeding is the result of the fertilized egg(s) implanting itself into the uttering lining which results in bleeding and occasionally abdominal cramping. This form of bleeding takes place six to twelve days after ovulation. ( A females ovulation generally takes place 14 days before her period). There will not be a large amount of blood, some women may not even notice any. Implantation bleeding only lasts a couple of days, this is the way to compare and contrast the difference between implantation and menstrual bleeding. You must keep in mind though that not everyone will experience implantation bleeding.
