Can implantation bleeding be almost as heavy as a normal period?

Answer 1

In most cases implantation bleeding is not a large amount of blood, while the amount does vary from woman to woman.

My first child 15 years ago..lol..yes i did say 15 years...the "spotting" i had was sorta heavy like a period only shorter..and yes i did have some cramping......i thought i was miscarring but carried her full term. This time my husband is SURE we're pregnant..same bleeding....but NOW the blood test has come up negative at the 14dpo......so to be honest it depends on everything from the weather to ur body.

It is only a spot or two as it is caused by the fertilised egg burrowing into the wallof the uterus and the fertilised ovum is smaller than the head of a pin.

About 30% of women experience it.

It will not be heavy like your period. It will be light to medium bleeding which lasts a few hours to less than 3 days or it can be blood on tissue paper, red, brown or pink vaginal discharge or spotting of blood. According to Contraceptive Technology, implantation will occur approx. 5-6 days after ovulation.

Hi Implantation bleeding is a tiny bit of blood which can happen from 1 up2 3days. 1 in 3 women get it so its rare. mine was pink stringy blood in my discharge which just happened at 4 pm one day. Its nothing like a period some girls who have a period while pregnant call the period Implantation bleeding for some reason which confuses them they should call it a period cause it kinda is its nothing like Implantation bleeding through pregnancy if your having a period while pregnant so I'm not surprised if your confused.

Most people think its a period which is totally wrong. Hope I help and also it can be stringy or thick loads of girls are different

Implantation bleeding can be heavy like your period - that's the way it was with me. My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for a year, and after another month of trying I thought my period had arrived. The only difference was that it was a couple days shorter than usual. It wasn't until the next month when I noticed constant nausea and breasts so sore that I couldn't bare to shower with my chest facing the showerhead. I took a pregnancy test BEFORE I expected what was soon to be my next period, and found out I was pregnant.

I still thought my implantation bleeding was a period, and it wasn't until my first ultrasound that I discovered I was a whole month further along than I had thought

I've had implantation bleeding with both previous pregnancy's. With my daughter - it was literally as pink princess mentioned above - a one time pale pink discharge, only seen once. The second time with my son it could have been mistaken for the beginning of a period. It started on pink and moved to a browny discharge and then a few days of bright pink bleeding - but there wasn't any clots as you would expect with a period after a few days or really strong enough to need a towel/tampon etc. I'm experience what I think is implantation bleeding with hopefully my third and it is repeating my second experience so far. It's worth mentioning with my son (2nd) child I experienced it for slightly longer than 3 days - perhaps 4 or 5. Ordinarily I have very heavy periods which last slightly over a week 8-9 days.

Had I not have been through this before - I would have suspected a normal period. With a second I do believe if you've experienced this before you can tell the difference.

I hope this is of some help to somebody.

I'm not really sure if im pregnant, but i had unprotected sex with my partner twice that night..and a week after i started feeling like shooting mild pains in my abdomen..then in the mornings i get not so bad or long sicknesses..then on the day my period usually comes wich was on feb 2,i only spotted light blood..but only once when i wiped.. then 10 after wich was yesterday..i woke up and went to the restroom and i started bleeding..bright red..not as heavy as my regular period..but sort of heavy..and im not really sure if i was just imaginating stuff cuz i was excited to get pregnant..wich i dont think so..or i am but i got a heavy implantation bleeding..i dont know....rightnow im just waiting to see how long it lasts..mine originally lasts 6 to 7 days...so i hope i am...=(

I'm kinda of in the same boat and im not sure what to do myself, i already have one child, and just now as we speak i had my period 2 or three weeks ago and than i got on the 7th a light pink discharge, than the next day brown, than on the 9th it started off as a slight flow and is still continueing, it seems like a period, cramps and all but this never happens to me, i get cramps a week before my period i dont bleed between periods, could this be implantation?

I'm a bit confused at the minute. Me and my partner have been trying for a baby for the past 5 months. I came on birth pills 5 months ago and we have regular sex. My Periods went back to pretty much regular straight away!

It is a week before my period is due, and i started bleeding yesterday, it is not enough to need a pad, but it looks like it's heavy when i wipe (sorry if too much info!). I'm confused, everyone says implantation bleeding does not look heavy and is only a few spots, i have had this for two days! Every time i wipe it looks like alot of blood, but there's nothing on the pads!

My husband and I have been of and on trying to get pregnant this year..every month i know when my period is supposed to begin, and then i hope for the best, a YES...but the last few times i have gotten my period as usual....this time I am still waiting my period should be her on Dec 13 2010. but today 12/8 i noticed some light pink blood....and i became excited because i have never seen it before, but i have read about it...i still have alot of feeling like cramps, so i hope its not my period...but it scares me because now it is more red, and its not a few spots.....

Well me and my bf had unprotected sex a few weeks ago i was expected to get pregnant and well now i feel tired all the time and i feel the need to sleep and my breast are sore but not that sore but a couple of days after that i was expecting my period and well it did not come until one night i was asleep an i got up and went to the bath room there was a light pink discharge at first den it got a little brownish after a day of that it got bright red/pinkish and heavy like my period n its said that implantation bleeding it light but i would like to know if i could still be pregnant

I think" its my period came yesterday (8th of April) but my period came early than usual and at first it was spotting pinkish and then it started goin a lil heavier like my period but normally when my period come i have 2 use 2 pads because it runs very heavy but i can use one cuz not much get on it and everytime i wipe a good bit of blood is there like my period but on the pad there is not much there compared to what usual get and the cramps are twice as much and a lil back ache.....can someone tell me what this is because i read on the internet that implantation bleeding is only pinkish or browny spotting.

Answer 2

Implantation bleeding can be heavy, sometimes it is mistaken for an early period, but more commonly implantation bleeding is very slight.

No, it's not heavy. It's nothing like a period. It is a tiny bit of blood which can be stringy/thick. It can last from 1-3 days, and the color can be brown/pink/red.

Mine lasted 1 day. It just was pink stringy blood in discharge.

Women can have periods while pregnant as well, which is totally different than implantation bleeding. If they have a period while pregnant it's a period. Implantation bleeding is a first sign of pregnancy or a sign of pregnancy at the beginning.

Yes it can, but it would only last a day or so. I went to the doctor, and they said my heavy bleeding was implantation! It's not as common as a light discharge, but its still implantation.

Actually I have been doing research on implantation bleeding for quite some time and there are testimonials of women who have experienced a "heavy" flow which they mistook for the menstrual cycle but in fact was implantation bleeding. Implantation bleeding is different for every woman, because all of us are unique in our own way so our bodies react differently from each other. I have had heavy implantation bleeding in 2 out of 3 of my pregnancies. So yes the it is possible to have a longer lasting heavy implantion bleeding that is off and on. The first answer is not incorrect either, like I said Implantation bleeding occurs for about 20%-30% of pregnant women and each individuals occurs differently.

Im wondering about something along this lines my self. My husband and I are ttc #2 and 3 days after i ovulated I had brown pink spotting that last 4 days at first it was enough I needed a panty liner the first few hours but then it was only when I wiped. could this be implantation bleeding?it was at day 17 of my cycle 1 1/2 weeks before my period is due. Im 5 days away from af. Just want to know if this was af or implantation bleeding??its too soon for a pregnancy test so im going crazy waiting!

Answer 4

Implantation bleeding can vary in every women! It can be light pinkish / brownish also be red or bright red, it has to be less then your normal period! Sometimes women get it heavy thinking they're not pregnant , but in some cases they are. Some lady's get a early "period". So It can vary in different people. After your bleeding 2 weeks later you should take the hpt (home pregnancy test) and see, if you get a negative then you probably arn't. Or go to your doctor and take a blood pregnancy test(:

Good luck<3;

Answer 5

Considering the fact that every womens body is different, goes to show that yes, you can have a heavy implantation process. I had a heavy implantation to where I thought I was on my period.

Answer 6

Yes, normally around 2-3 days but can even be 7, like they say no two women are the same. Only a pregnancy test or scan in 2 weeks after implantation will confirm if you are pregnant or not.

Answer 7

it should be light bleeding.. (spotting)

Answer 8

No
