It's similar to a menstrual period...perhaps somewhat lighter, and shorter in duration than menses. It can happen around the times when your period would be do, were you not pregnant--so it can occur at weeks 4, 8, and 12. Usually it resolves by week 12. I'm going through this myself!! I had a small bleed at 4 weeks, then a more pronounced one at 8 weeks...I thought I was going to lose the baby...but it turned out to be breakthrough, or decidual bleeding, and it's no problem for mom or baby. Just annoying.

Didnt miss any pill and took them on time and im still getting break through bleeding?
Breakthrough bleeding can be a side effect that can last up to 3 months or more. If you have been on birth control for at least 3 months and you still have breakthrough bleeding, you should consult your physician. Consistent breakthrough bleeding can be a sign that you may need a higher dosage of birth control pills. I have learned from physicians that increasing the dosage of the birth control helps regulate your menstrual cycle and eliminates breakthrough bleeding and therefore being more effectively protected from pregnancy.

One could locate information on breakthrough bleeding at their local doctor's or gynecologist's office. Their is also more information on breakthrough bleeding on Web MD.

Any pregnancy bleeding is scary, even though about a quarter of pregnant women experience some bleeding. Pregnancy bleeding is sometimes just spotting. Pregnancy spotting is not heavy bleeding and should not soak through a maxi pad. Spotting is a very light flow as if in the last or first days of normal period cycle. In addition, it should only occur during the first trimester of your pregnancy. There should be no bleeding in the second and third trimesters of your pregnancy. Pregnancy bleeding can be more serious and can signify a serious problem. Bleeding may be a sign of early or preterm labor. It can also be a symptom of an infection in the cervix. It is important to call your health care provider right away any time you have pregnancy bleeding, and tell them how much you are bleeding, for how long, and what the blood looks like.

Heavy bleeding is usually a sign of NOT being pregnant. "Pregnancy symptoms" is also a very broad statement. A heavy period could cause bloating, breast swelling, and even an upset stomach. If you are unsure, it is best to go ahead and just take a pregnancy test to be on the safe side. If there is a small chance, it is better to know for sure. If the heavy bleeding continues, or is reoccurring, you need to talk to your doctor to find out why.
