Implantation is when the egg/sperm combo implants in your uterus. When you have your period every month, the blood and tissue that comes out is the lining of your uterus. This lining is what the egg implants into. When this happens, sometimes there's a little bit of bleeding... usually just enough to show up when you wipe. It can be light pink or maybe dark brown, but it's not very much at all. It can't be confused with period-like bleeding. It's barely anything.

I had implantation bleeding with my first pregnancy, and I had it the day my period was due. I didn't have it earlier than that.

I hope this answers your question. If your next period is due in June, you should wait until you miss it to take a pregnancy test.
