Do you bleed the day of implantation or after- had sharp pains 7dpo and brownish discharge 9 dpo When could have occurred if at all?
Implantation bleeding is a common early sign of pregnancy, occurring in about 20-30% of pregnant women. It's caused by the fertilized egg implanting itself into the lining of the uterus.
Implantation bleeding typically occurs between 6 and 12 days past ovulation, or 10 to 14 days before your expected period. It's usually lighter than a regular period, and may last for a few hours to a few days. The bleeding is often described as pink, brown, or reddish-brown in color, and may be accompanied by mild cramps.
If you experienced sharp pains at 7 days past ovulation (DPO) and brownish discharge at 9 DPO, it's possible that this was implantation bleeding. However, it's also possible that these symptoms were caused by something else, such as ovulation or a change in your hormonal levels.
If you're not sure whether or not you're pregnant, it's best to take a pregnancy test. Pregnancy tests can be purchased at most drug stores and are very accurate in detecting pregnancy after a missed period.
If you're concerned about your symptoms, you can also talk to your doctor or midwife for more information.
