Light Spotting
Light spotting or implantation bleeding occurs after the fertilized egg finds and clings to the uterus lining. Light spotting can occur about ten to fourteen days after the woman conceives. Therefore, it happens when the woman expects to have their period. Although implantation bleeding is an early pregnancy symptom, it does not happen to all women.
About one to two weeks after ovulation and sexual intercourse, a woman may notice a bit of spotting. The spotting typically happens around six to twelve days after conception. As the fertilized egg finds a place to attach itself to the uterus lining, it causes mild irritation, resulting in some bleeding. Women often confuse it as the beginning of their monthly menstrual cycle, but it could mean the woman is expecting under certain conditions.
The implantation bleeding looks like a brownish discharge or tiny drops of blood, lasting for a few days, a week, or more. It could easily be mistaken for a light period instead of an early sign of pregnancy.
Aside from the light bleeding, the woman may also have a white, milky discharge because the vagina’s walls are thickening, with the discharge caused by the increased growth of cells lining the vaginal walls.
