Can implantation bleeding be bright red?

[Betsy]

Hi, i know most people say it is light pink or brown, but mine has been bright red, not much of it and not at all like my period, only visible after bm. Has anyone else had it this colour?

Implantation bleeding is supposed to be caused by the embryo planting itself into the uterus and dislodging some of the lining, but at this stage the embryo would only be the size of a pin head.

I don't think the colour matter but it should only be the tiniest amount, which normally becomes pink when mixed with cm or could stay red if here isn't much cm i guess.

red means its fresh, so it would be that its come straight out, darker colours means old blood, to be honest i think it could be any colour as the blood could have sat inside you or in your case came straight out.
