Implantation bleeding? (x-posted)

Hi I had unprotected intercourse 22 days and 18 days ago. I know this was
silly, and my husband and I haven't slipped up since.
I posted about having had period pain but no bleeding with egg-white mucus,
and I wasn't sure if it was ovulation or an impending period.
The period pain is still there, but yesterday I had what looked just like a
bloody show. Only a small amount. I have had nothing since, and I even put
on a pad thinking my period was gonna start. But it didn't.
I am now wondering if this could be implantation bleeding? I am asking as I
have never experienced it before with any of my other pregnancies.
Would the timing from the intercourse to the bloody show be right?
I always had unprotected sex while breastfeeding my others. My doc told me
it was ok to use as contraception as long as the baby fed every 4 hours day
and night.
Kamron has very big gaps between his feedings.
With baby number 1 my periods returned like clockwork. But with all the
others periods didn't return until breastfeeding had stopped.

If I was pregnant this baby would be loved just as much as the others.

Any advice would be great.

Go and get a pregnancy test - you will either know that you aren't or that
you are, and either way I think this knowledge would be useful!

Oh Andrea, I'm sorry to say that your doc is wrong. My cousin got
pregnant that way and currently it is adviced always to use additional
contraception while breastfeeding. Although breastfeeding reduces your
chance of getting pregnant, it is in no way a reliable contraceptive.

Well, the only way to be sure is to do a test. Since it would then be
22 days past ovulation (if it occured), you could test positive at this
stage if you are pregnant.
