Sources

While waiting to take the test in the hope of pregnancy, it can happen that you have some slight bleeding, light or brown. What are they due to? Do you have to worry? When do we talk about implantation (or nesting) leaks and when about the upcoming menstrual cycle?

Implantation haemorrhage

Early in your pregnancy, you may have a slight bleeding called "spotting". It occurs between the eighth and fourteenth day of ovulation, when the developing embryo takes root in the wall of your uterus. This type of bleeding is unnecessary and often coincides with the period when your period should have arrived.

Be careful though, it doesn't happen to all women, so don't worry if it didn't happen to you or you didn't realize you have it.

Are plant leaks dangerous?

No, they are absolutely not dangerous, although they can be frightening because they can make you think of your next period or a threat of miscarriage.
