Ang implantation bleeding ay usually nagaganap sa mga unang araw ng pagbubuntis Dahil nagaganap ito sa mga araw na malapit magregla ang mga kababaihan, it is understandable that it is confused with menstruation. However, these 2 are different in many ways. Typical menstruation typically lasts 5-7 days and is bright red to dark red in color. Ang flow din nito ay mas malakas naa nakakapuno ng napkin. On the other hand, sa implantation bleeding, ito ay usually nagtatagal lamang ng hrs to 3 days max and is light pink or dark brown in color. Also, ito ay hindi malakas na flow kundi parang discharge lamang..

I suggest that you see an OB GYN to treat your PCOS para maregukate ang iyong cycles.. maari din ikaw magtake ng meds na makakatulong para magrelease ka ng mas madaming egg cells kung nais nyo na talagang magka anak.
