A member asked:

I've been implation bleeding for 17 days now. it goes from light brown to a bright red now and then. but it is mainly brown.how long should this last?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not this long: Implantation bleeding should not last 17 days. It sounds like something else is going on. Do you have a positive pregnancy test? You should if this is implantation. Even if you do, it is concerning that there might be a problem with the pregnancy. Check with a doctor to be sure.
