Excellent overview of bleeding during pregnancy, this article clarifies the difference between "spotting" and "bleeding." It also explains that implantation occurs well before you actually know that you're pregnant, so any bleeding/spotting that occurs after a positive pregnancy test is NOT implantation. This is a common misconception that seems to be perpetuated by women sharing misinformation online.
