2. Implantation Bleeding: Amount and Duration
A woman experiencing implantation bleeding usually only notices a small amount of spotting or a very light flow, similar to discharge. Light bleeding may occur continually during this time, or it may be intermittent, with an occasional light discharge of blood. Bleeding during menstruation is heavier and more consistent than implantation bleeding.
Implantation bleeding may last up to three days. Women experiencing their first pregnancy may experience more implantation bleeding than women who've previously been pregnant.4‘What Is Implantation Bleeding?’ American Pregnancy Association, 23 Oct. 2020, americanpregnancy.org/pregnancy-symptoms/what-is-implantation-bleeding-24176.
