I believe many women are aware of the symptoms of ovulation bleeding, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. It usually does not have a serious impact on women's bodies if it occurs occasionally. However, some women find themselves experiencing bleeding after ovulation and feel very worried. They don't know what's going on with bleeding after 18 days of ovulation? Next, follow the editor to learn more.
What's wrong with bleeding after 18 days of ovulation
Generally speaking, the chances of successful conception through sexual intercourse during ovulation are very high. Therefore, if there is bleeding after ovulation, implantation bleeding should be considered. Implantation bleeding often occurs around 7 days after conception. Therefore, if it is 7-10 days before ovulation, it can be suspected that implantation has occurred. However, if it is more than 12 days before ovulation, it may be menstruation. Therefore, bleeding after 18 days of ovulation is considered menstruation.
Symptoms of bleeding during implantation of fertilized eggs
After the fertilized egg implants, the corpus luteum of the ovary, which has not yet degenerated, continues to release estrogen and progesterone until it is replaced by the placenta. However, the endometrium (attached to the placenta and covering the surface of the blastocyst) and the decidua on the surface of the uterine cavity (not in direct contact with the blastocyst) are not completely fused, resulting in a cavity. Therefore, the endometrium can still fall off, causing bleeding symptoms similar to "menstrual bleeding", which is known as fertilized egg implantation bleeding. Whether there is bleeding during implantation of the fertilized egg varies from person to person. Generally, the amount of bleeding during implantation of the fertilized egg is not large, consisting of a small amount of blood streaks or dots, with a dark color, and will stop on its own after about three to four days.
After the introduction in this article, I hope it can help everyone understand whether ovulation bleeding is implantation bleeding or menstrual bleeding. However, it should be noted that miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, and molar pregnancy may also cause bleeding. Therefore, once abnormal bleeding is found, it is recommended to go to the hospital for detailed examination to ensure health.
