A member asked:

Does implantation spotting occur right after sexual intercourse? or few days after?

Dr. David Krulak answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Implantation: Spotting may or may not occur in conjunction with implantation of the embryo. If it does, it will not occur directly after intercourse, as there has to be sufficient time for fertilization and the migration of the egg into the uterus. This usually takes a few days to occur.
