A member asked:

Can implantation stop a few days and start again?

Dr. Gerard Honore answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

No: Implantation happens 6-7 days after fertilization, period. If it "stops" then implantation failed. Bleeding/spotting does not tell you anything useful about implantation, on the other hand a pregnancy test does. Good luck.

How long after possible implantation bleeding should a hpt show up positive, it's the first bleeding post partum so I have no cycle to go on. And why would the spotting stop for 12 hours then start back up only to be pink and smell like lochia?
