implantation,

for some people here that are confused about implantation,

Implantation bleeding is a tiny bit of spotting at the time that the embryo implants into the uterus. It usually occurs approximately 7 days after conception, which is typically about 7 days before you expect to get your next period.
Implantation bleeding is not a reliable sign of pregnancy.and  generally  only last couple days.Most women who are pregnant never have implantation bleeding. Furthermore, many women who have what appears to be implantation bleeding are not pregnant.

I had it as well.  I just thought my af was coming early.  It was brown and was only there when I wiped and went away within a matter of hours.  I only knew it was ib when I got my bfp, which I got one day after my af was due.

i had it.  mine came along with mild menstruallike cramping at around 6 or 7dpo.  it was only a one-time thing...a little brown blood on tp when wiping.  it was the most exciting potty experience of my life!!! ;-)  as i said, mine was a "one time wipe," but it can last up to a few days and be different for everyone.  fyi-it takes 2-5 days for your hcg levels to build enough to get a positive test...i got a negative at 9 and 10dpo and didn't get my positive til12dpo.

thanks for posting this tarajanes. there are often many questions on here about implantation spotting.

I didnt have implantation bleeding with my 2 pregnancys i just got the feeling that i was going to get AF (Slight Cramping) and the nurse said that that feeling was the embryo attaching itself to the uterus!

Are you saying then that it is really uncommon to have implantatin bleeding and hardly anyone has it? Why is it written about so much as a sign, then?
