A member asked:

Can you distinguish between periods and implantation bleeding by smell?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Smell: Lol, i know that i couldn't but you probably kencench you know your own body. A woman's menstrual flow can have a particular order and it would therefore most likely be different anyway.
