A member asked:

Once a fertilised egg has started to implant, how long does it take for implantation to complete?

Several days: It is actually a process where the fertilized egg, by now a multicellular structure called the blastocyst, attaches to the lining of the uterus. As the structure grows and a placenta starts to form, some of these cells invade into the lining looking for blood vessels. As the placenta continues to grow and attach, bleeding may occur. This can happen for a couple of weeks.

7-10 days: 7-10 days. some women have a little implantation bleeding-usually seen when you wipe-scant amounts, usually brownish or light pink in color. It would be much less as compared to your period starting
