What is implantation bleeding?

Answer 1

About 7 to 10 days after ovulation implantation occurs. Implantation is when the fetus burrows in to the rich lining of the uterus and begins producing pregnancy hormone. At this time some women notice that when they wipe there is a very small amount of pink blood on the toilet paper. This is implantation bleeding. Some women also experience minor cramping when this happens as well. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

This term is sometimes used to refer to the bleeding that is caused by implantation of the fertilized ovum. As the embryo burrows into the uterine lining and attaches itself to the maternal circulatory system, some maternal blood is released.

The term "peri" means "throughout" or "associated with," so it refers to the bleeding associated with pregnancy -- normal bleeding. To call it a "tear" is not exactly correct and sounds more threatening than it is.

"Taking it easy" would not hurt, but there is not much in the literature that supports that this would protect a woman from an inevitable miscarriage.

I would consider this normal implantation bleeding unless you experience cramping, backache or increased bleeding. If you have an increase in symptoms report these to your provider right away.

I hope all goes well for you.
