Implantation bleeding??

Question

How long does implantation bleeding actually last? Google is no help, it gives inconsistent answers. How heavy can it get? How many days does it last? What colors can it be? Is it hard to distinguish from period spotting?

Answer

Google is super inconsistent and misleading. There isn’t a lot of evidence that shows the implantation process can cause physical/outward symptoms. It happens on a very minuscule level. That term may simply refer to any spotting or bleeding that happens in early pregnancy, and the cause or possible source of the spotting/bleeding cannot be found or determined and doesn’t appear to pose any increased risk of complications. There are so many different scientifically proven causes of spotting outside of a period or during pregnancy, ranging from hormonal shift/imbalance, cervical irritation, cysts, polyps, fibroids, infection, vaginal tear/abrasion,  problems with the placenta. Synchronic hemorrhage, etc. . Any spotting or bleeding from any part of reproductive tract can’t be differentiated from another. It can range in color from a very pale pink to a bright red, to even dark brown or almost black appearing.
