How To Recognise Implantation Bleeding?

implantation cannot be predicted basing on vaginal discharge
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,hope you are doing well.Iam happy to see you again.
I understand your concern.Dont panic.Just relax.Iam there to help you.
We can only approximately predict the ovulation basing on nature of cervical mucus or vaginal discharge.
Other signs of ovulation are:-
1) Mittelscmerz bleeding-Here there is spotting on ovulation.
2)Basal body temperature(BBT)-raise of body temperature.
3)Vaginal discharge- it is thin mucoid excess amount before the ovulation and thick and less amount after the ovulation.
But all the above changes are very subtle to notice and cannot be taken for predicting accurately.
And they may or may not be definitely seen in all the woman.
And also we cannot predict the implantation basing on vaginal discharge as more specific tests are available.
Once implantation occurs the first hormone to be detected is BHCG.It is seen as early as
1 week after implantation in blood.
And it is detected a week after missed period in urine.
So the early and first predictor of pregnancy is serum BHCG.
But iam not suggesting you to go and test for BHCG as it is not necessary now.
If at all the period is delayed consider doing a urine pregnancy test a week after missed period.
Relax and wait for the periods as there is still time for the periods.
Hope this satisfies your query.

Urine pregnancy test is better
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,goodday.
I have gone through your query.
The conditions like stress,any hormonal intake ,any infections might cause hormonal imbalance leading to delayed period in a regularly menstruating woman.
By considering the vaginal discharge as it is profuse and excess it appears the ovulation has not occurred.
So once the ovulation is delayed the period might also get delayed because the period occurs exactly 14 days after the ovulation.
The BHCG test might be taken 3 weeks after the LMP in case of regular cycles.
The test on 25th might be taken.
But if the ovulation is delayed then the date of testing cannot be predicted.
So the best thing is waiting till the period and take the test if the period is delayed.
Hope this satisfies your query.

There is no pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,goodday.
Iam glad to answer you again.
I understand your concern.
As the BHCG level is less than 1.2 at 26th day of the cycle there is no scope for pregnancy.
The BHCG level more than 5 at this day of the cycle indicates pregnancy.
So relax.There is absolutely no chance of pregnancy.
Hope this satisfies your query.

It rules out pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,good day.
I have gone through your query.
I understand your concern.
In my opinion the BHCG test done on 24 th day with a value of < 1.2 also rules out the pregnancy.
Because the BHCG levels starts to rise 8- 10 days after the ovulation.
So 24 th or 26 th day does not make any difference.
As the vaginal discharge is decreased in amount and getting sticky and thickened it appears a premenstrual change.
So you might be approaching the periods.
So relax dear. There is no chance of pregnancy.
As I explained you previously stress can also delay the periods.
Avoid stress.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Feel free to discuss furthur.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
