Implantation bleeding is what sometimes
happens when the egg implants itself into
your uterus. It's usually light spotting
&happens about 6-12 days [on average]
after you presumably conceived.
When was the last time you tested?

What does implantation bleeding look
like?
Implantation bleeding is vaginal discharge
which usually contains a small amount of
pinkish or brownish blood. Only about a
third of pregnant women experience
implantation bleeding.
When does implantation bleeding usually
occur?
It can happen at the time the fertilized
egg implants in the uterus, on average
between 6 to 12 days past ovulation.
Should I worry about implantation bleeding
occurring?
Unless accompanied by cramping, backache
or increased bleeding, a small amount of
blood being discharged should be
considered as implantation bleeding which
is nothing to be concerned about.
If this is implantation bleeding, when can
I test to see if I am pregnant?
Home pregnancy tests are based on a very
simple principle. They work by through
the detection of the hormone human
chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) in a woman's
urine. This hormone is a hormone secreted
by the developing placenta shortly after a
fertilized egg has been implanted in the
uterine lining.
If a woman is pregnant, the amount of
human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) in her
system should be around 25 miu at 10 dpo
(days past ovulation), 50 miu at 12 dpo,
100 miu at around two weeks dpo. Because
of their high sensitivity factor ( 20
miu/ml hcg ) in detecting human hcg, both
the aimstick pregnancy tests can confirm
pregnancy as early as 6-8 days past
ovulation. To help lower the chances of a
false negative, the best time to test at 9
or 10 days past ovulation would be
advisable.
