Implantation Bleeding

Hope this helps some of you...
implantation bleeding occurs during
implantation of the egg cell
it occurs towards the end of the
implantation process . The trophoblast is
a highly specialized tissue. It develops
from the fertilized egg and surrounds the
egg. It attaches the egg to the
endometrium and as it is continuously
growing it invades the endometrium. As it
eats its way into the endometrium it pulls
the egg into the endometrium. It ( the
trophoblast) also invades the mothers
blood vessels and divert her blood to
cavities inside the trophoblast. These
cavities are than filled by maternal blood
becoming blood lakes. Most of the lakes
are connected. The trophoblast on the
outer surface of the egg are thinner and
slower growing but also contains cavities
that are connected to the deeper cavities.
Some of these outer cavities communicate
or open into the uterine cavity. Blood
that leaks from these cavities are causing
implantation bleeding. It occurs shortly
before the egg is completely implanted and
completely covered with endometrium.
Typical implantation bleeding occurs about
four weeks after the last menstrual
period. It is usually less and darker
than the person's normal menstruation.
The diagnosis of typical implantation
bleeding is made in retrospect. The
duration of the pregnancy is four weeks
more than expected, because the last
period recorded by the patient was the
implantation bleeding and not her last
menstruation.
Implantation bleeding has no adverse
effects on a pregnancy.
Some experts doubt the existence of
implantation bleeding . If you search for
"implantation bleeding" you will come
across sites that doubt if it ever occurs.
The fact however remains that some women
( we estimate about 1%-2%) has a bleeding
about 4 weeks after the last menstrual
period with a pregnancy duration 4 weeks
longer than expected.

I know u said it is normally less and
darker then when u have ur period, but
what about a lighter color, like pink?
Cuz a while ago I thought I was getting my
period, but it was soooo much lighter flow
than normal, and it was pinkish...It only
lasted for about a day and a half...If
even that long... But yeah, I was just
curious.  thanks

Yes, it can be pink too. As long as its
not bright red and flowing like a period
and also there are no cramps. I had this
damn thing twice in this preg. Scared the
poop out of me. Thought iwas miscarrying.
But nope. Baby was finishing its
settling process. .L.O.L.

u can have it twice? Well that's starting
to sound more and more like me.... Cuz
it happened to me just about the time I
should have had my first period that I
missed (the 7th of nov.) and then again a
few weeks after that.... Maybe my body's
just screwing with me. Lol

I think that i'm going through that also.
I am bleeding a brown colored substance.
My normal period is heavy and painful.
Since the 4th i've been slowly bleeding a
dark brown substance with no pain at
all.Something isn't normal. Any opinions?

I had it twice in the same trimester,
about 2 weeks apart and lasted a day. Its
not uncommon for old blood to find its way
out. Dont worry. If its brown looking
(kind of like dry) and its only when you
wipe and not enough to even touch a panty
liner. Don't worry. Pinkish in color is
ok too. As long as you are not
experiencing bright, red, heavy flow and
cramping.

get my blood test. Then i'll finally
know.

Lol u think? It's driving me nuts, but
the doctor I saw here wouldn't give me a
blood test cuz she didn't believe me. By
the time I get home and get a blood test I
will be about a month and 2 weeks
late....U'd think hpts would work by
now...Or i'd have my period... I've
already missed two.

Missed period that long, pretty clear
indication as well as your spot bleeding.
Hpt would not necessarily show up. My
doc said he had a patient who didnt show
up till 11.5 weeks for a blood test!!! I
guess it just depends on your own body.
But it would be driving me nuts by now if
I were in your situation and still getting
bloody negatives!!!!
