It’s thought that when a fertilized egg attaches to the uterus, implantation bleeding happens. This could be about 10 to 14 days after conception. If you have regular periods, it happens around the time you would expect your period.
Implantation bleeding may sometimes be mistaken for a light period, especially if you have light or irregular periods normally. But these drops of blood could also be a sign that you’re about to embark on a very exciting journey. If you’re at all unsure, check in with your healthcare provider.
