Answer 1

No.  Less than 30% of women experience implantation spotting.  

The egg would be fertilized on the day you ovulated (the day of conception). It takes the fertilized egg around a week and up to 10 days to implant into the uterus. Once the egg is implanted then your body starts releasing pregnancy hormones HCG. Prior to implantation you are not pregnant. Prior to implantation your body does not even know that you conceived.

It takes a while for the HCG to build in your system. Your body's reaction to HCG is what causes pregnancy symptoms. Home pregnancy test look for HCG to conclude pregnancy. You must have enough HCG in your urine to register a positive. There is no point in taking home pregnancy tests prior to when your period should be arriving. It is a waste of money and sanity because there is always the possibility you could be pregnant and it is not registering because you don't have enough HCG in your system yet. When you do take a home pregnancy test, use your first morning's urine. It contains the highest level of HCG.

Most women do not experience pregnancy symptoms until they are six weeks pregnant. Some feel it as early as four weeks pregnant - but that would still be at least 28 days into your cycle. And this only pertains to women who ovualte before cycle day 16.  

Answer 2

I didn't have any implantation spotting.  Not everyone experiences that.  Good luck.
