How to determine successful implantation?
The first step in pregnancy is successful implantation. Implantation is the first step in the growth of the embryo. If implantation is unsuccessful, the embryo will have difficulty continuing to develop. So, how to judge whether the implantation is successful? This article will elaborate on this in four aspects: menstrual period, basal body temperature, implantation bleeding and symptoms.
Menstrual period
After successful conception, a woman\’s menstrual cycle will experience unusual changes. Under normal circumstances, the average menstrual cycle is 28 days, but in fact, cycles between 21 and 35 days are considered normal. If you become pregnant, your menstrual cycle will be interrupted and early menstrual periods will be delayed or missed altogether.
Early menstrual period changes
If there are changes in a woman\’s early menstrual period after pregnancy, it may be a sign of successful implantation. Usually 7-12 days after the embryo enters the uterus, women will experience some special symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, fatigue and dizziness, which may indicate that implantation has been successful.
Basal body temperature
The body temperature measured through the mouth or anus is the basal body temperature. Before ovulation, a woman\’s basal body temperature is usually at a low level. However, after the egg is fertilized, as the hormone levels in the body change, the basal body temperature will continue to rise after conception. If the basal body temperature rises for five consecutive days or more, the probability of a woman becoming pregnant is very high.
Implantation bleeding
About 80% of women will experience minor bleeding during implantation, usually between 6-12 days after conception. Implantation bleeding is a normal physiological reaction that usually does not last long and is relatively mild. Implantation bleeding is not an early sign of pregnancy in all women; only about half of pregnant women experience it.
Bleeding color
Implantation bleeding is usually bright pink in color. If blood stains of this color appear, the embryo may be implanting successfully.
Bleeding time
Implantation bleeding is not long-lasting, usually only lasting 1-2 days. If the bleeding lasts for a long time, it\’s not normal.
Minimal bleeding
If implantation is successful, bleeding should be minimal. If there\’s a lot of bleeding, there\’s probably something wrong.
Symptoms
There are also symptoms elsewhere in the body that can arouse suspicion. These symptoms include:
Breast changes
After pregnancy, a woman\’s breasts go through many different changes. Before becoming pregnant, many women experience breast redness, swelling and a gnawing sensation. If this subjective symptom persists for more than one month, it is very likely that you are pregnant.
Tired easily
After pregnancy, many women experience unusual fatigue, which may be due to changes in hormone levels and increased energy requirements in the body.
Change in appetite
Many women experience anorexia and nausea early in pregnancy, while some women find their appetite becomes unusually strong. If this sign appears, then you can consider whether you are pregnant.
Summary
Successful implantation is the basis for healthy fetal development, and it is very important to determine whether implantation is successful. This article introduces how to judge whether implantation is successful from four aspects: menstrual period, basal body temperature, implantation bleeding and symptoms. If pregnancy is suspected, it is recommended to have an examination as soon as possible and follow the doctor\’s instructions for guidance and management to ensure the health and balance of the fetus.
