'''Implantation bleeding''' is a small amount of light [[vaginal bleeding]] or spotting that can occur in early pregnancy due to the [[fertilized egg]] [[Implantation (embryology)|implanting]] in the [[uterine]] [[endometrium]].<ref name=Ey2011>{{cite book|last1=Sheiner|first1=Eyal |title=Bleeding during pregnancy a comprehensive guide|date=2011|publisher=Springer|location=New York|isbn=9781441998101|page=9|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kidaUVfQk_UC&pg=PA9}}</ref><ref name="Weinberg">{{Cite journal|last1=Weinberg|first1=C.

{{R to section}}
