A member asked:
Is it possible for implantation bleeding to last up to a week? i'm very confused. it started out with light spotting then the blood looked more fresh.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Implantation bleeding is not likely a real phenomenon. When an embryo first implants it is microscopic. The actual implantation does not cause bleeding. Many of the hormones that rise during pregnancy can cause the lining of the uterus to bleed a bit. This bleeding should not last more than a day or two. If you think you are pregnant you should immediately see your doctor for blood test.
