Hello Anonymous,

I can appreciate your hoping that this light spotting might be a sign that you are pregnant.

When did you last have unprotected sexual intercourse?

Implantation bleeding is spotty, pink to brownish in color, and typically occurs 10 to 14 days following conception. Implantation bleeding happens when the fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus. It stops on its own and is nothing to worry about.

If your period for this month is late by at least one week, do take a home pregnancy test. Levels of hCG, which is the hormone secreted by the cells that form the placenta, are detectable in urine about 12 to 14 days following conception.

Good luck,
Maryann
