implantation bleeding

Early pregnancy sign

Implantation bleeding is light spotting that occurs when a fertilized egg attaches to the uterine lining, typically six to twelve days after conception.

It's often among the earliest signs of pregnancy, though not all women experience it.

The bleeding is usually lighter and shorter than a menstrual period: She wondered if the spotting was implantation bleeding or just an early period.
