Blood smell: A colleague of mine said "bleeding is bleeding, " and she is right. Bleeding for any reason smells more or less the same, there is no "special" smell.

Most often, women: Don't bleed with implantation. When bleeding occurs the amount of blood is miniscule. So, no -wouldn't anticipate an odor.
