i have been spotting for 5 days now. i had intercourse 8 days before the spotting started. Could this be implantation bleeding? if so how long does the spotting last?

I agree with Adgal.  I had implantation bleeding with this pregnancy, and it only lasted 1-2 days if that.  Spotting is light brown/pinkish red in color, only a few drops...should not be any heavier than that, nor should it last 5 days.  Good luck!

Implantation bleeding is actually quite uncommon, but most of the time it is just a tiny amount.  Have you taken a pregnancy test yet?  It could also be a very light period, or mid cycle spotting, which can be caused by low progesterone.  Good luck to you.
