A member asked:

Are there other possible reasons for light vaginal bleeding, other than the possibility of implantation bleeding/pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Normal: Light vaginal bleeding at your period is your period. It is not pregnancy. Nor does implantation occur at the time of a period. Any bleeding at the period is proof of not being pregnant. Even if it is lighter than usual.
