Doubt it: A positive pregnancy test can tell a woman that PRIOR spotting was actually implantation spotting. It can be hard to tell if a woman is pregnant because some of the symptoms seen in early pregnancy can also happen in non-pregnant women. A urine pregnancy test gives a reliable result about 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have occurred), or 1 week after missing a period.

'Implantation bleed': Theoretically implantation bleeding could do any number of things, but honestly it's unusual to have 'implantation bleeding' at all: it's usually breakthrough for another reason.

Bleeding: Usually does not occur with implantation. When bleeding does occur it is a tiny amount - not for 6 days. This may be break through bleeding.
