Hello There,
Welcome to healthcaremagic forum!!!
Yes...For some women implantation will cause slight bleeding or spotting. This is called implantation bleeding. It normally occurs a week to a few days before your period would normally start. Spotting that occurs around a week after ovulation is likely implantation bleeding; whereas, spotting that occurs very close to the time that your period would normally start may not be. Implantation bleeding is usually scanty and pink or brownish discharge.
So get a urine pregnancy test done which will help you to determine whether you are pregnant or not!!
Hope this helps!!
Take care!!
