Break through bleeding (also know as implantation bleeding) is when the fertilised egg implants in the built-up lining of the uterus. This often causes some of the blood vessels in the lining to burst, which causes the bleeding


Can you get the bleeding in very early stage of pregnancy?

yes, it could be implantation bleeding. Plus many women have their "periods" all through the pregnancy. To begin with, it is said that roughly 30% of knowingly pregnant women experience some kind of bleeding during early pregnancy.There are many reasons for bleeding in early pregnancy, but having a 'period' isn't one of them. It is impossible to have an actual period during pregnancy due to the absence of a menstrual cycle. I realize that the above person used the word 'period' in quotes, but they are still mistaken in stating that many women bleed all throughout their pregnancy. Bleeding all throughout pregnancy--and particularly later on--would certainly be a cause for concern. But at any rate, here are some reasons for bleeding in early pregnancy (and by 'early' I mean the entire first trimester):It is said that something known as 'implantation bleeding' can occur sometime around the third or fourth week of pregnancy, at around the same time your period would normally have occurred. For this reason, some women may mistake implantation bleeding for a period and may not realize they are pregnant. Having said this, however, if you are spotting at 6, 7, 8... or 11 weeks, it cannot be implantation bleeding. (I am actually tired of people all over the place saying "it's probably implantation bleeding" since 'early pregnancy' is not limited to the first four weeks and thus this can be a misleading answer for someone bleeding around Week 7.)Bleeding can be a sign of miscarriage. They say that approximately 50% of women who bleed during the first trimester go on to miscarry. (Of course that means that the other approximate 50% do not.) Many times (but not always) bleeding during miscarriage is accompanied by cramps, often severe.There can be other causes as well--decidual bleeding, cervical erosion, ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy, subcorionic hematoma... Some of these causes are more serious than others, and I suggest that if you are concerned you do some further research to learn more about each cause.If the bleeding is heavy, accompanied by pain, or lasts more than 3 days, call your provider.


Do you always bleed after implantation cramps?

Hi! I had very light bleeding in Dec/2003 and it didnt last long(about4-5 dys)...In Nov/2003 I had a regular period(7 days and it was heavy). I found out in Feb/2004 that I was pregnant. The doctor based my due date on my last period(he said Dec/2003,and so did I) But I actually conceived in Nov/2003 because Im 4wks ahead of time for the babys size etc...I don't think all women get implantation bleeding. This is my fourth pregnancy and with my others I never got it. That's why I didnt know about it. Its normal tho,so don't worry... answer Hi! I had Implantation bleeding on the 2nd May and then got my period 2 weeks later which had no cramps which was unusual. Then the next 3 months I've been get regular periods . Its now September and my period was 1 day late which my periods are never 1 day late. Has any1 had a period while pregnant? I don't think I'm pregnant because I'm still having a period but when i sit down my belly gets rounder every time. I did have pregnancy symptoms before I had Implantation bleeding I felt like I had been on too many rides which i had to put a bin next to my bed because I really really sick, tired, headaches. Then in July I felt sick, headaches, weird belly pains, going to the toilet more often, bloated, tired and that. Now its September I am tired, headaches, bloated and tired. Its really really strange I had Implantation bleeding but I got my period so not everyone gets pregnant do they then KAT


Can you be pregnant if your period is every 33 to 35 days and last for 4 to 5 days and two weeks before your next period you have light pink spotting for two days could that mean pregnancy?

It is very possible. Often, the implantation of the egg into the uterine wall can result in slight bleeding. This could be what is happening in your case.


What if bleeding for 8 days thought it was your period now having pain?

then you were on your period. pain & blood is often associated with the menstrual cycle.


Is spotting light pink common in early pregnancy?

Any spotting in pregnancy is abnormal, though not necessarily serious. this happen only once, around the time you are expecting your period--this is called implatation bleeding and it can last for one to two days but not all women get this-just a few does
