Hey there, implantation spotting is usually liter then a normal period for you. I never had it myself with either of mine. Most women don't. Take a test, if that's what it was you should get a + by now. Good luck.

Thanks for answering, but don't you think it is too soon?  how soon can it detect a pregnancy?

Well, it depends on when you ovulate, two weeks after that is when they suspect implantation takes place. But, for some women it's only 6-12 days. No way of knowing. Do you know when you O? Are you trying to conceive?

Another thing I just thought of, could you have gotten pregnant the month before? Have you stopped taking BC or anything? Are you under any stress? This all factors.

We are trying but in no hurry.  I just got really dizzy on Sat. I almost fainted, and then the metal taste...And it was 10 dyas after ovulation...
