Show Download Article For many women, a little spotting or light bleeding can be one of the first signs of pregnancy. Although it doesn’t happen with every pregnancy, this bleeding can occur when a fertilized egg implants in the lining of your uterus because small veins break. It’s often tricky to tell implantation bleeding apart from the start of your period, but there are tell-tale differences you can look out for—for example, implantation bleeding tends to be much lighter and last for a shorter time than menstrual bleeding. You can also watch for other early pregnancy symptoms, but the only sure way to know is to take a pregnancy test and see your doctor.

Advertisement About This ArticleArticle SummaryX To recognize implantation bleeding, work out if your bleeding is early, since this usually occurs a few days before your expected period. In general, notice the color of your blood, as implantation bleeding usually stays a light pink or brown color instead of turning red after a few days. If you have a light flow with no clots, this may also be an indication of implantation bleeding. You should also expect the bleeding to last no more than 3 days if you are pregnant. The best way to be sure is to take a home pregnancy test a few days after the bleeding stops for the most accurate results.
