Hi everyone.. I'm new to this board, so when i'm reading the posts, I don't have a clue as to what some of the abbreviations mean. So if someone could help me out there I would appreciate it. Also can someone tell me what implantation bleeding is??

First, this link will take you to the abbreviations.

Second, implantation bleeding is a term used to refer to the bleeding that is caused by implantation of the fertilized ovum. As the embryo burrows into the uterine lining and attaches itself to the maternal circulatory system, some maternal blood is released. (Peg Plumbo) This only occurs in a small percentage of women.

Hope that helps!
