Pregnancy Bleeding or Period

So here is my dilemma Sunday my fiance and I had unprotected intercourse and I started spotting yesterday afternoon. Not really much of anything....but I did figure that it may have been a possibility that I could have conceived. Well today my spotting is more like a period but still nothing I am used to. So I am wondering how you tell the difference between bleeding during pregnancy and a period. I know that I have to wait about 4 weeks before I can test, but I am still curious. And I have already been told that spotting for pregnancy wouldn't show up that quickly...but my body does everything quickly.

Spotting only a day or 2 after sex couldn't possibly be implantation bleeding b/c it is way too soon. Conception does not occur right after you have sex. It takes about a week or so. I have bled many times after intercourse. Sometimes even a day or so later. Not sure why, but it's not b/c you're pregnant.

Pregnancy and Periods

It is true that you cannot have a real period and be pregnant. That said, the bleeding you had , if it was different than normal, may have not been a period, but just irregular bleeding for whatever bleeding. I wasn't consciously trying to conceive at the time so I was really clueless. When I didn't get
