The amount and color of implantation bleeding

When a pregnant woman just becomes pregnant, the embryo has not yet officially entered the uterus. This time is called implantation. During implantation, the pregnant woman will experience bleeding. Don't panic at this time. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. Of course, you should pay attention to the amount and color of implantation bleeding. The bleeding situation varies from person to person, but the amount of bleeding is definitely not large. Generally, there are a small amount of blood threads or blood spots, and the color will be darker.

The amount and color of implantation bleeding

In the early stages of pregnancy, after the fertilized egg implants, the corpus luteum of the ovary, which has not yet degenerated, continues to release estrogen and progesterone until it is replaced by the placenta. However, the endometrium and the true decidua on the surface of the uterine cavity are not completely fused, and there is a cavity, so the endometrium can still fall off, resulting in bleeding symptoms similar to "menstruation", which is the implantation bleeding of the fertilized egg.

Whether bleeding occurs when the fertilized egg implants varies from person to person. Generally, the amount of bleeding is not large, with a small amount of blood or blood spots, which are dark in color and will stop on their own after about three or four days. When the fertilized egg implants and bleeds, there are generally no other accompanying symptoms, such as abdominal pain, menstrual discomfort, etc. This is a normal physiological reaction to implantation and you only need to keep the vulva clean. However, if the amount of bleeding is heavy and continuous, women need to be alert to whether it is caused by pathological bleeding.

If a woman finds symptoms of bleeding during implantation of the fertilized egg, she should take more rest, avoid lifting heavy objects or strenuous exercise, and avoid catching cold to avoid accidental miscarriage. During the period of fertilized egg implantation bleeding, the diet should be light and avoid raw and cold foods. You can eat more nutritious foods and avoid spicy and irritating foods.

Symptoms of implantation bleeding

What causes implantation bleeding of the fertilized egg? In the early stages of pregnancy, after the fertilized egg implants, the corpus luteum of the ovary, which has not yet degenerated, continues to release estrogen and progesterone until it is replaced by the placenta. However, the endometrium (attached to the placenta and covering the surface of the blastocyst) and the true decidua on the surface of the uterine cavity (not in direct contact with the blastocyst) are not completely fused, and there is a cavity. Therefore, the endometrium can still fall off, resulting in bleeding symptoms similar to "menstruation", which is the implantation bleeding of the fertilized egg.
