Exactly how common is implantation bleeding? Please respond yes or no if you had implantation bleeding

Question

Answer

I've heard it's very rare. I had it with my first, but not my second. Thought I was getting my period, but it was just some light spotting and I never spot before my period. It lasted a couple days and just went away, so I knew something was up, but I waited a while because my periods are so irregular most of the time that I don't really know what normal is so figured it may have just been some freak thing. And I had taken a test a week prior that came back negative. but after another week I tried again and I was pregnant. No one else that I know has ever had implantation bleeding with any of their pregnancies though.

Answer

I asked my doctor and did some of my own research. Implantation bleeding is super rare, but for a lot of women on here they kind of cling to it hoping that it is IB when it's their period. Everything I've seen or read says less than 30% of women experience it. I didn't when I got my BFP and non of the girls I know who have babies now did either. Here are some screenshots I took that show the percentage of women with IB.

Answer

I never had it. it is made to sound super common but my doctor said it is not common at all so not to get discouraged if you don’t have it. actually i was more thankful I didn’t have any bleeding as i feel like it would have freaked me out more lol

Answer

I had implantation bleeding with my first. It was brown discharge about the size of a quarter one time and that was it. I didn't have it with my last two, which ended in miscarriage. Definitely don't be looking for IB or try to guess if that's the cause of any bleeding you may have. It usually doesn't happen.

Answer

Thanks for all the responses :)

Answer
