How Long Does Implantation Bleeding Last
The answer to question “how long does implantation bleeding last?”will help you determine whether you are at the beginning of your period or people should congratulate you and your partner for conceiving a baby.
Implantation bleeding occurs when fertilized egg starts to implant itself into the endometrium which is a medical term for uterus lining. The endometrium itself is very important because it will be responsible for proper feeding of your baby during the whole 9 months of pregnancy.
Also when the egg does not get fertilized, endometrium is expelled from uterus together with the unfertilized egg via menstrual blood every 27 to 29 days. When fertilization happens, the egg develops trophoblast cells. Trophoblast can be only developed by a fertilized egg and it is a tissue which dissolves endometrium and allows the egg to burrow itself in the uterus lining. When the egg enters endometrium, one part of endometrium gets dissolved by trophoblast and this dissolved lining is expelled from uterus in the form of something that resembles menstrual blood.
It is dark brown or light pink to pinkish in color. It can also be followed by minor blood cloths. This is the implantation bleeding or spotting. It is different than menstruation because it lacks the volume and frequency of menstrual bleeding. The implantation bleeding usually occurs six to ten days after the ovulation and it lasts for one or two days.
If the spotting continues after this period it can point to pregnancy outside of uterus (also called ectopic pregnancy), so you should visit your doctor. Implantation bleeding occurs usually two or three days (or a week) before the next period.
Sometimes spotting is minimal, so some women can even go without noticing it. Some can have massive bleeding, while others can get pregnant without ever noticing the implantation bleeding.

Hi. I’m a little at odds and very confused. I have a child and when I got pregnant a year and 9 months ago I had implantation bleeding. It was brown and pinkish brown. My periods have always been irregular since I first got it at 10. I am now 21. For the past 5 days I have had on and off a brown sometimes pinkish brown discharge never enough to soak through a pad or even pantyliner. I took a pregnancy test monday it was negative. I called my obgyn they told me to wait til next monday and retest. Help! Could I be pregnant? Does implan. Bleeding last that long? For 5 days? It doesn’t seem to be my period….no cramping. I’ve been having headaches….

Me and my boyfriend have been trying to get pregnant. My period was october 18 till october 23 and ovulation time was october 29 till november 3. November 3 till today I have noticed slight bleeding. First it was a light pink and only present when I would wipe then it got watery and was more two days later. And today it is nearly gone. Could I be pregnant? Nervous and the nurse at my ob gyn said to test and when I did it was negative. I have been getting light headed, emotional, bad back pain, and light cramps.. websites say implantation last up to 2 days, but I guess women are different. I guess I will test again in a week.
I have had two miscarriages. Both time I had implantation bleeding. It didn’t last long. I have irregular periods as well. On Sunday 11/07 I had some light spotting. Then again on Tuesday and every morning since. Every time I started bleeding I used a tampon and it came out clean. My husband and I are trying and are hoping that this is implantation bleeding. I am just wondering how long it is supposed to last so that I do not get my hopes too high if we are not pregnant.
I should be getting my period next week but last night i noticed some brown on the toilet paper when i wiped..so i put a pad on thinking i was getting my period. In the middle of the night i was feeling very nausous and some cramping but when i went to the bathroom to change my pad..there was nothing on it. Today i experianced a small amount of dark brown blood but thats it. I have been having cramps all day. Could i be pregnant????
my last period was on 31st oct. me and my hubby had sex since 8th day every alternative day..and on 28th i had dark brown spotting dat is just 4 days before my period..does that mean ‘m pregnant or my period?
Last month, I got my period on December ninth. Heavy bleeding stopped by December 12th, and on December thirteenth through december fifteenth I only had spotting. On December thirteenth my boyfriend and I had sex. He went inside about two or three times and I made him stop, because I didn’t want to get pregnant. My fertile days were December 18th through December 24th.
We had sex again on January fourth, but once again he only went in me a few times before I made him stop. I had dark brown discharge (it was clumpy and stringy) on January 2nd through January 5th. My period should have started on January 6th, it is January 7th now so it is one day late. I have had a small amount of brown spotting, but no period yet. What are the chances that I am pregnant?
I’m a little confused.
My periods are normally irregular so I don’t bother trying to keep track of them but this was the first time I’ve ever experienced anything like this.
Last week I had a bit of pinkish/brownish spotting; only when I wiped which lasted for about 2 days I believe. My breasts were unusually sore which never happens to me – ever, so it was a first. Then the day after I started getting a heavier flow like my normal period for only 2-3 days. After that I still continued to lightly bleed for about 2 more days. It’s very strange because my periods will normally last for only 5 days and begin with a heavier flow rather than a lighter flow.
I’m just wondering whether or not to be concerned about this matter. I am sexually active, whereas 2 weeks before my period/spotting happened, my boyfriend ejaculated twice inside of me in one day and the day after I took Plan B. And then a week after that, I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. I haven’t taken a pregnancy test since but I’m probably considering it to see whether or not I should go to the Dr’s.
But I’m still very confused, since a friend of mine is about 4 months pregnant and she said that her period still came on time and next thing you know, she finds out she’s about 4 weeks pregnant.
Has anyone had that happen to them before?

Hi,
My period was late last month it was supposed to be on the 25th Of Jan but came on the 29th. And today I woke up and there was a little brownish blood. It has picked up and there was a spot about the size of a quarter on my pad. Is there anyway I could be pregnant?? Hubby and I have been trying for a couple of months now. Any Thoughts??
Okayy, well this month I had my period on February 11th, and it was suppost to come on the 8th. Around the 25th or so of January I had spotting for about a day and it was pinkish brownish. Then like I said I had my period. I have been getting mild cramps, and they are mostly like in my legs. Cause that’s where I get them a lot during a normal menstrual cycle. I also have been having frequent headaches like crazy! I never ever get headaches now it seems like they won’t go away. And I get light headed every once in awhile. And some constipation. I also have fevers, and my breast are sorta sore. I took a pregnancy test a couple days ago, and it was negative. I feel as if I might be pregnant. And am actually hoping I am! I don’t know what to think, so can you help me and tell me if I could be pregnant?
I’m 16, and I’m 80 % sure I’m pregnant. I’ve been spotting recently, and I’m very positive its not my period. How long is it supposed to last? Because this has been going on for 3 days now.
Billy………….if you are unsure you are pregnant please go to your local health department and get tested right away. Being young, you need to seek not only medical intervention but someone you can discuss a possible pregnancy with. There are many pregnancy crisis centers whom provide free testing and counseling.
hi, me and my boyfriend have been trying for a baby i am not on the pill and he does not wear a condom. I got my period last month febuary 2nd today is March 6th still no period i had spotting a couple of days ago it was a brownish color and only lasted not even a day, i know its not my period because my cycles are heavy and this was very light not even enough for a pad, but i took 4 home pregnancy test they all read negative? could i be pregnant but its to soon to read on the home test i probably dont have enough hormone to show in the urine test. could i be pregnant? should i get blood work done?
I have also experienced what Lilly has gone through.
First my period didnt pitch, then it was late, i did a test but it was negative.
after i did the test my period arrived.
the period lasted 2 or 3 days but my cycle is usualy 4 days.
Sunday i had some bleeding after sex but it was there for about 5 minutes and then it was gone again.
yesterday, some spotting occured and today i have a period.
the flow is very heavy and i dont get a heavy flow period.
could anybody advise me to what is happening?
Hi, I recently came off my copper IUD, and since then my husband and I had unprotected sex many many times. St first I thought I could be pregnant, because my period was late. I took a pregnancy test, it was nev. However I have been light headed etc a lot lately, had some mild cramping as well. My period came approximately 5 days late. It started with a brownish discharge, and then I had heavy bleeding for about two days, now its back to a small discharge ( all this is unusual for me, my periods are on time and approximately 4-5 days all the time). I am Erik having dizziness, my breasts feel tender and a little heavy. Could I be pregnant still? Or am I just being paranoid? I am really not sure what I want the answer to be, just wanna know I guess.
I had my period on July 24 but on July 26 it went off which was the day that I had sex but on the 27th it came back on light red and on the 28th and 29 was very light light brown. I found out that I was pregnant on Aug. 24th. Was I already pregnant in July?
