How is implantation bleeding different from spotting?
Sometimes the timing of the bleeding is the only difference between implantation bleeding and a threatened miscarriage. Bleeding occuring beyond 14 days post conception probably does not represent implantation bleeding. Other differences may be the quantity of blood, or the duration of bleeding. Implantation bleeding does not happen more than once. All bleeding in pregnancy should be reported to one’s doctor. Women who are RH negative should receive rhogam.
