Can Implantation Bleeding Last For More Than 4 Days?
Question: is it possible to have heavy implantation bleeding? that goes on for 4+ days? I'm well aware that it could be my period. the only reason I'm asking is, this bleeding started on cycle days 20 of a 28 day cycle. I know I ovulated on or around cycle day 14. bleeding started as spotting at 6dpo. thoughts?

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It is rare for implantation bleeding to last up to 4 days.
More likely this is an early period.
Just to clarify matters, why not take a pregnancy test after 4-5 days?
Hope I have answered your query.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
