Well how long was it after you had sex that the brownish bleeding began? Implantation bleeding occurs 4-7 days after conception, and, as you probably know, sperm can live in the vagina for up to a week in fertile fluids. So, if you were in your fertile time, there's that week-long time span where you could have conceived. Also, just so you know, implantation bleeding doesn't always occur...and you may have spotting on and off all throughout a pregnancy.

Did you ever get your period for June? Or do you have irregular cycles? Could it be perhaps you were pregnant and the "implantation bleeding" you saw was a period lightened by pregnancy? Have you tested for pregnancy yet?

dear dark stranger. the bleeding did start after the time i was fertile, and to your question about the period. no, that was the period for june. i did go to the doctors today and they said they cant do anything until another 2 to 3 weeks. i quess thats what happens when u dont have insurance. im just scared because i do normally have a regular cycle and this is the first time this is ever happened. i also want to thank u personally for taken the time to help me and with the advice u gave me. hope to hear from u soon.

If you don't have insurance, go to a planned parent hood or free women's clinic, most Public Health Clinic's have them. They'll give you a urine, and possibly blood test, to test for pregnancy. If you're not pregnant, they'll be able to make sure you don't have a nasty infection or something that could get worse waiting another 2-3 weeks until your normal doctor will see you.
