Can implantation bleeding turn into decidual bleeding?

Implantation bleeding occurs when a fertilized egg attaches to the uterine lining, typically resulting in light spotting. Decidual bleeding, on the other hand, refers to bleeding that can occur later in pregnancy due to changes in the uterine lining. While both types of bleeding can happen in early pregnancy, implantation bleeding does not turn into decidual bleeding; they are distinct occurrences related to different stages and processes in pregnancy.
