Am I correct in thinking hcg is only present after implantation has occured?
I'm asking because, at this point, I think I am past implantation and have had brownish/pinkish tinged CM....just wondering what could be causing this. :)
Either AF is coming or simply blood that's from implantation and just old.
ok just wondering...its been over a week since I found out I was pg, so I figured that any implantation bleeding/tinged CM would have happened well before today. Thanks
implantation occurs 6-12 days after conception
so I wouldnt have gotten a positive preg test before implantation...right?
no
Yes, right.
What happens is, your cervix is very soft at this point, tons of hormones and blood flow and sometimes it makes a little spotting happen. There is also increased vaginal discharge as your body starts making the mucus plug and this can dilute even a miniscule amount of blood and make it seem like more than it really is. So I know it's nervewracking to see, but the majority of the time, it's just spotting and nothing comes out of it.
