Implantation bleeding can raise many questions. Because they are usually around the time when our period would come, but perhaps it is not her period but rather that much lighter bleeding that warns us that changes are coming to our body. Therefore, if we already have doubts, the next question we ask ourselves is: How long does it take between implantation bleeding and positive?
Today we tell you everything you need to know about it, so that your doubts are dispelled. Some women don't even notice it, while others do realize that something is going on in their body. Be that as it may, if you are waiting for that positive that does not arrive, perhaps it is time to arm ourselves with patience because the good news will appear in your life.
Why implantation bleeding occurs
After about 7 or 8 days have passed after fertilization, a new inhabitant in the form of a blastocyst will arrive in the uterus and will nest in it. But in this moment, in nesting, blood vessels can be broken. What makes a little bleeding appear. But logically it is smaller than a rule and also lasts less time. So, we can say that the bleeding itself is very light, so it will be there when we begin to suspect that it really is not the period, although it is around the days of it. As we have well commented, it does not happen in all pregnancies.
When does the bleeding appear?
This staining does not have an exact moment but we will say that it usually appears about 8 days after fertilization. Sometimes it can be about 10 after her. What if it has occurred in the middle of the cycle and we do the math, yes, said bleeding will arrive at the time of the next period, approximately. That is to say, there are many occasions when we think that we have been a little ahead of ourselves but that it is menstruation when we really realize that being lighter, there may be something else. Keep in mind that it is still very early, so if you take a pregnancy test, you may get negative values. Because the HCG hormone still does not have a good level to be detected in the urine.
Time between implantation bleeding and positive
So how long does it take between implantation bleeding and positive? Once again we have to clarify that not everything is always 100% reliable, because we already know that each body is different and its cycle too. But broadly speaking we can say that after the bleeding, we must wait a week to perform the test. Yes, it is difficult to wait when you have already realized that your positive may be closer than ever. But as we said, sometimes the urine test does not collect enough hormone, which will give rise to negatives, although they really are not. For everything to be more reliable, about 7 or 8 days of waiting is recommended.
It is true that there are some tests that are really sensitive and that they can detect very low levels. But it is true that if you are nervous about knowing the result, it is always better to wait a bit and not be disappointed. We don't want false negatives, so remember that a week of waiting will yield much more reliable data.
As when it is time for your period, you will be able to notice more symptoms. So that week, between one thing and another, will be quite stressful, we know, because you want to find out as soon as possible. So, if that regulatory time has passed, you have had a spotting that was not normal and you notice the body a bit strange, then your time has come.
