Can implantation bleeding be bright red? No, implantation bleeding is not bright red like a period.<\/strong> Active bleeding cuts or disintegration of uterine lining releases bright red blood. Implantation bleeding doesn’t look bright red or have clots.<\/div><\/div>

Can Implantation Bleeding Be Bright Red?<\/h2>

Blood changes its color as it gets old. The color of blood changes from bright red to dark brown due to clotting of fibrous proteins. Can implantation bleeding be bright red? <\/p>

For this one needs to understand what is implantation bleeding?<\/a><\/p>

Implantation bleeding is the blood loss during the embedding of the embryo in the uterus wall.<\/p>

As the embryo invades the blood vessels of vaginal lining, it causes mild abrasion of blood vessels. It leads to bleeding that generally is dark red to brown.<\/p>

Some women may have a pinkish implantation bleeding or bright red spotting. It is because the implantation process just happened.<\/p>

Active bleeding areas of womb cause bright red implantation bleeding<\/strong>.<\/p>

When can a woman have implantation bleeding?<\/h2>

The egg after release from ovaries cannot stay for long in the Fallopian tubes. It is viable only for 24 hours. After that, it cannot fertilize as it loses its viability.<\/p>

Sperms, on the other hand, can tolerate the conditions of tubes and stay in the vagina for about 5 days. If the sperms are present in the tubes during the 24-hour lifespan of the egg after ovulation, then fertilization can occur.<\/p>

A healthy fertile woman has a fertile window of about five days. The window starts from 3 days before ovulation to one day after it. It is the shortest fertility period and can be longer in some cases. <\/p>

For conception, the sperms need to have the right shape, number, and motility. If all these conditions happen simultaneously, then fertilization can occur. <\/p>

There is no surety about it, and that is why every time you have sex near ovulation<\/a> you don’t get pregnant.<\/p>

  1. After the egg fertilizes, the process of cleavage begins.  It is the rapid division of the fertilized egg into small units. About thirty hours later the fertilized egg divides into two. The next division occurs within 10 hours after it. The third division is after three days after fertilization.<\/li>
  2. During this cleavage process, the young embryo travels down the tubes. It makes its way to the uterus.<\/li>
  3. At the end of the fourth day, the embryo reaches the uterus. It has 8-16 units and looks like a mulberry. It is known as the morula stage<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li>
  4. At the next stage, this bunch of cells further divides to form a blastocyst<\/strong> which is of about 64 cells. This solid mass of cells now awaits to attach or implant in the wall of the uterus.<\/li>
  5. The egg has a protective covering called Zona Pellucida<\/strong><\/a> that prevents implantation at the wrong place. It doesn’t expose the sticky ends until the bunch of cells reaches the right place of implantation. Later it gets dissolved. This layer guides the egg to the right place.<\/li>
  6. After seven days after fertilization, the blastocyst attaches to the uterine epithelium. It leads to a little eruption of the blood vessels present there to make space for the embryo.<\/li><\/ol>

    After successful implantation, the blastocyst starts the formation of germ layers. These form the different organ systems of the body.<\/p>

    How long does implantation bleeding last? <\/h2>

    The egg lies near the endometrial lining on the 6th day after fertilization and on the 7th day it implants. Implantation bleeding occurs for a few minutes<\/strong>. <\/p>

    Even in extreme cases, implantation bleeding cannot last for more than three days. A bunch of 64 cells is too small and is invisible to eyes. Such a small unit cannot cause heavy bleeding.<\/p>

    Implantation bleeding is mostly like spotting and lasts for few minutes or a day<\/strong>. The amount of blood is so less that by the time it reaches out of uterus it becomes brown or dark red. <\/p>

    A bright red implantation bleeding is a sign that the blood is freshly released.<\/p>

    Signs of normal implantation bleeding<\/h2>
    1. Spotting of pinkish-brown to dark brown color.<\/li>
    2. Cramps and slight abdominal pain.<\/li>
    3. Nausea and dizziness<\/li>
    4. A triphasic pattern of basal body temperature<\/a>. A rise of BBT on the ovulation day, implantation dip of BBT – which is a sign of pregnancy, restoration of BBT to normal.<\/li>
    5. Increased cervical mucus due to rising progesterone levels<\/li><\/ol>

      Some women may have bright red implantation bleeding for a day. But this bleeding will not soak pads.<\/p>
