Anywhere from six to 12 days after fertilization, the quickly-growing embryo has moved down the Fallopian tubes to the uterus.
At this time, the embryo attaches itself to the endometrium, where it becomes reliant on a mother’s body — for the first time — for nutrients and oxygen.
When the embryo implants in the uterus, it can disrupt tiny blood vessels in the spot that it attaches. This won’t cause any problems (the endometrium recovers!) but some women will experience light bleeding, from pink to red to brown discharge. Such so-called implantation bleeding will likely arrive earlier than your expected monthly flow (usually around five to ten days after conception).
It lasts for about 2 to 3 days, does not increase to a flow, like a period and goes away on its own.
Bleeding during pregnancy is a sign that something is wrong. Heavy bleeding indicates a miscarriage or loss of the pregnancy.

Hope I have cleared up any confusion.
