I've read women mistake implantation bleeding as periods. And a few people have said the same thing above. 
 
But what I don't understand is HOW? 
 
Implantation bleeding which is also known as implantation spotting are only a few drops of blood. That is it, right? But periods are comparatively heavy flow of blood. Secondly, implantation bleeding lasts a day or two only. Periods for most girls last around 5 days at least. So how do women mistake implantation spotting with periods?
