What is Implantation?
Implantation is when a fertilized egg (blastocyst) attaches to the uterine lining. It typically occurs 6-12 days after ovulation, with peak probability at 8-10 DPO.
How Does Implantation Work?
The blastocyst burrows into the endometrium and establishes a connection with the mother's blood supply. This triggers hCG production.
When Does Implantation Occur?
Implantation window: 6-12 DPO. Most common: 8-10 DPO. 9 DPO has the highest probability (~27%).
IVF Transfer Timing
Day 5 blastocyst: implantation may begin 1-3 days after transfer. Day 3 embryo: 3-5 days after transfer.
Implantation Bleeding
About 25% of women experience light spotting during implantation. It's usually pink or brown and much lighter than a period.
hCG Detection
hCG becomes detectable in blood 1-2 days after implantation, urine 2-4 days after. Earliest reliable test: 14 DPO.
What to Expect
Most women feel nothing during implantation. Some may have mild cramping or light spotting. Early pregnancy symptoms overlap with PMS.
Calculation Formula
Implantation Window = Ovulation Date + 6 to 12 days. Peak: Ovulation + 9 days. Reliable test: Ovulation + 14 days.
