Irregular cycles. a week ago i had cramps all day and then brown spotting for a day followed by headaches and backche. coukd this be implantation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: If you had unprotected intercourse , most likely you are pregnant. Only first week of gestation , most likely implantation of fertilized egg ( morula) in uterine wall.
