Most often, implantation bleeding is a sign of pregnancy, thanks to which you can learn about conception long before the menstrual cycle is delayed. But, as a rule, women do not fully possess the necessary information, therefore, they cannot recognize the symptoms and signs of such manifestations.
Implantation bleeding is a normal process, indicating successful fertilization of the egg and a stable pregnancy. Initially, the ovum enters the fallopian tubes during ovulation , where it must meet with the sperm, then, when it is fertilized, it moves towards the uterus. It is believed that after 10 days from the moment of conception, the finished egg is implanted into the uterine wall. And only after that the first signs of pregnancy begin to appear , in particular implantation bleeding. In practice, it is quite rare, so many women are not at all aware of the existence of such a sign and ignore it when manifesting.
In most cases, such a symptomatic manifestation of pregnancy is detected during the onset of menstruation, in connection with which the expectant mother may not even be aware of her interesting position and what grandiose changes are expected in her life and that of her partner. The presence of such bleeding is explained by a serious restructuring of the entire female body, as it is prepared for bearing the baby and the birth process. Despite the fact that this is a completely normal process, a gynecologist should undergo an examination, because there are cases when serious bleeding caused by various pathologies is confused with implantation.
Implantation bleeding: duration.
Its main manifestation is the presence of mild bloody discharge. You should know that traces of implantation can last from several hours to 2 days. As a rule, within a couple of hours the bleeding ends. There are cases when there is no discharge at all after implantation. This means that they simply did not get on the surface of the vagina, so only a specialist will be able to detect this during examination. Therefore, the absence of this kind of sign does not indicate the absence of pregnancy.
Excessive implantation bleeding portends the presence of serious gynecological pathologies. In this case, do not worry if there is a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen. But the manifestation of the painful syndrome is worth considering, because abdominal pain can become a threat of natural termination of pregnancy, in other words, a miscarriage.
It's no secret that after conception, the basal temperature of a woman rises significantly. During implantation, this indicator decreases slightly, but for a short period of time, after the fertilized egg penetrates the uterine wall, the temperature may become higher than the previous one. A characteristic feature is the rapid fatigue of the body. This is not surprising, because in this way the body signals a woman the need to take care of herself even more. Now the expectant mother is responsible not only for her life and her health, but also for the baby’s health. Many women can not bear the fetus only because of neglect of their special situation.
Of course, pregnancy is not a disease, but still requires increased attention to the processes taking place in the human body. Implantation bleeding is a completely standard physical manifestation of the penetration of an egg into the uterus and the development of pregnancy. The embryo, getting into the uterus, slightly damages its walls, a reddish mucus is released as a response. And in vain many women panic, afraid of losing the baby.
