For many women it can be confusing to determine if their bleeding is menstruation or implantation bleeding. Here is an ASK a site user posted that has received a lot of conversation around the topic: https://www.empowher.com/community/ask/implantation-bleeding-or-menstrua.... It may be helpful to take a look and see what our moderators have said and what other users have experienced.
Typically implantation bleeding is brown in color and lasts around 1-3 days. In many instances, it happens right before or a few days before your period. Implantation bleeding has less blood than menstruation and appears like spotting. If your spotting continues, I would recommend visiting a doctor and talking with them about implantation bleeding.
A pregnancy test is a good idea to get a better idea whether you are pregnant or not. According to americanpregnancy.org, most doctors recommend women take a home pregnancy test after the first day of their missed period. Typically a missed period would occur about two weeks after conception or sex.
I hope this has helped! Please keep me updated and let me know if you have other questions.
