A member asked:

Had sex with my bf last saturday but started my birth control the sunday before. is it possible to have implantation bleeding after 5 days?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wouldn't think so: Five days after sex is too early for implantation to happen (it takes about another five days). Only after confirming that a woman is pregnant, can she say that PRIOR spotting or bleeding might have been due to "implantation". Otherwise, there is no need to think about "implantation".
