Implantation Bleeding

According to my count down to pregnancy.com

this is when implantation bleeding is most likely to occur:

Day Past Ovulation	Probability of Implantation
6 DPO	Less Common
7 DPO	Common
8 DPO	Common
9 DPO	Most Common
10 DPO	Common
11 DPO	Common
12 DPO	Less Common
13 DPO	Less Common

They also say not all women experience implantation bleeding.

So you could still be pregnant
even if you do not experience this.

My fertility chart for my 2nd pregnancy,

shows no spotting prior to
getting a positive pregnancy test.

According to pregnancy.about.com,

Implantation bleeding is spotting or light bleeding

that occurs in some pregnant women during viable pregnancies.

Not much research has been done on

why this occurs for some women and not others.

The theory is this occurs

when the fertilized egg implants.

Sometimes implantation bleeding can be confused

with the start of menstrual cycles

or early miscarriage bleeding.

Extremely light bleeding

could be confused for a menstrual cycle.

Miscarriage or chemical pregnancy bleeding

may begin as spotting and then

become heavier bleeding with clots.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...

Over the past week, I’ve found a few products that have made a huge difference in how I feel—both physically and mentally. Here’s what’s been helping me get through it: 1.

Underwear That Actually Works I never thought I’d get excited about disposable underwear, but Frida Mom Disposable C-Section Underwear has been a game-changer.
