If you are expecting your period, implantation during early pregnancy often mimics the signs and symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, especially if you don’t know that you are pregnant or your pregnancy is a complete surprise.    Implantation bleeding occurs in roughly 1 to 2 percent of women and many women often mistake it for their period.  Implantation bleeding generally occurs around 6 to 14 days after conception, which happens to be around the same time that you would normally get your period.
