Getting known to implantation bleeding

Implantation bleeding occurs just prior to the anticipated menstrual cycle. This is considered as an early symbol of pregnancy that occurs some days prior to a pregnancy test confirming that you are pregnant. The mechanism of implantation begins with fertilization. When an egg gets fertilized by a sperm it is known as the embryo. The embryo begins its journey via the fallopian tube in the direction of the uterus. At this time, the embryo multiplies and becomes a blastocyst and this is recognized as countless cells that are all bunched together. When the blastocyst goes to the uterus it looks for a nice spot for getting attached to the lining of the uterus.

Difference between bleeding and period

In this condition, all you are required to do is to wait for some days and get a pregnancy test done and this will confirm whether you are pregnant or not. Again, the timing of your previous intercourse may also help to figure it out.

Now, if your last intercourse has been more than a couple of weeks ago then the chances are that bleeding is the result of implantation.

Again, there are some women who do not find any difference between the two kinds of bleeding. So, you can think that some kind of spotting is implantation bleeding plus get your period some days later. Or, you can also guess that it is a usual spotting but end up being pregnant.
