Ovulation and Implantation bleeding: when does it occur? 

As a woman, for you to conceive successfully, ovulation is everything. Ovulation is supposed to be painless, but it is not uncommon to experience pain. You may experience ovulation pain with one menstrual cycle, and not with another. An awareness of any aches or cramping during ovulation can actually be a useful indicator in tracking your fertility. What is important is that you should get familiar with how your body feels during ovulation from month to month. This will help you to separate what’s normal for you from what might be abnormal and require a visit to your doctor. Why do you experience ovulation pain, how long does it last, what does it mean for your conception chances, and how do you obtain relief?

What is implantation bleeding and how to identify it?

Like every other woman in their reproductive age, it is important you know the most common signs of pregnancy. Implantation bleeding is not one of the commonest signs you may experience but has been identified in over thirty percent of pregnant women.

In other words, one in three women who get pregnant will have experienced it. At this point, you may be wondering, is this fact or not. Yes, it is, and a lot of women have confirmed its existence.

What is implantation bleeding?

It may not be light spotting you identified, but it could be nausea, waist pain, lower abdominal cramps or even breast tenderness.

Each time you feel this way, of course, you feel downhearted and need to continue your search for a baby.

Just like my patient, most women trying to conceive will have felt precisely the same way in the past. It may not be light spotting you identified, but it could be nausea, waist pain, lower abdominal cramps or even breast tenderness.

Each time you feel this way, of course, you feel downhearted and need to continue your search for a baby.

Well, today, I will teach you another sign you can identify on your own. It is called implantation bleeding.

Medically, implantation bleeding is light vaginal spotting that comes down from the vaginal area just before your next period. To fully grasp the concept of implantation bleeding I will need to medically define the term implantation (in a simple way)

Implantation is the process where a fertilized egg is implanted into the wall of a thickened endometrium.

So, to simplify, the fertilized egg results from the union of a male’s sperm and the female’s ovum. After sexual intercourse, your boyfriends or husbands sperm moves quickly up to the uterus and then to the fallopian tubes.

Right there in the fallopian tubes they continually wait until the release of an egg from your ovaries. The ovaries are the reproductive organs in women, and during each cycle, they discharge a well-developed egg into the fallopian tubes (a process called ovulation).

Right there in the fallopian tube (at the end near the ovaries), the sperm fuses with the egg forming the fertilized egg called embryo.

Now, the fallopian tubes are tube-like structures of the uterus. These tubes are not anatomically structured to care from an embryo.

Another question, of course, is how implantation looks like. Well, implantation bleeding is tricky because you may miss it if you are not knowledgeable about your menstrual cycle.

To start with, it is important I explain what your menstrual cycle means. Most women in their reproductive age usually experience, at most times, a regular menses every month.

This means, each month you get your period and it may last for three to seven days. Now, the first day of your period is the first day of your menstrual cycle.

How to identify ovulation period on your own

If you’ve already identified your menstrual cycle length and know the number of days in between, we must then know when you ovulate.

As already mentioned, this is critical to easily tell when you are most likely to have implantation bleeding and its symptoms in your menstrual cycle.

We’ve discussed ovulation earlier on in this article, but in simple terms, it is defined as the release or discharge of one or more eggs from the ovary.

So, if you can tell when you ovulate, you can predict when implantation will happen in your menstrual cycle.

There are so many signs of ovulation that you can track on your own. I will explain a few you can identify

1.Breast pain

Just around the time of ovulation, it is not uncommon for women to experience pain in both of their breast. This happens because of the rise in estrogen that occurs around ovulation.

So, if you are around the middle of your menstrual cycle and feel tightness around your breast area with pain, it possible you are just about to ovulate.

2.Abdominal pain

Yes, this may sound funny, but some women experience a sharp, sudden, short-lived pain on the right or left side of their belly when they ovulate.

This pain is called Mittelschmerz or ovulation pain, and it occurs in just twenty percent of women. Pain is usually on one side; however, you may experience abdominal pain on both sides if both ovaries release an egg. This is rare.

3. Ovulation discharge

Another way you can tell ovulation has occurred is vaginal discharge during ovulation.

Before ovulation happens, most women can attest to a change in the texture of the vaginal fluid. It becomes more watery and stretchy. That is, if you were to dip your finger into the vaginal canal you would feel a lot more discharge that hardly breaks when stretched with your fingers.

If you get this type of discharge, then you are already in your fertile period. This means you can get pregnant easily.

Other signs of ovulation include the high soft cervix, watery discharge, increased drive for sexual intercourse, and abdominal tightness or bloating.

Is implantation bleeding a reliable sign of pregnancy?

Let’s be frank. Implantation bleeding is by no way a reliable way to tell if you are pregnant or not. But as expected, it could help bring some calm to the nerves of women struggling with infertility.

Most women need an early sign to identify if they are pregnant or not. They are going through a lot of emotionally and need a clue if they are pregnant.

In this case, implantation bleeding could help, but as I previously mentioned, it is not reliable

Why? There are so many different reasons a woman will experience light vaginal spotting. And in most cases, it is not because you are pregnant.

In fact, it is still debatable if implantation bleeding truly occurs or if it is due to progesterone drop that happens in the later part of the menstrual cycle.
