Week 4 - Pregnancy Week-By-Week:
Taking root! Implantation occurs. Once the blastocyst gets to the uterus, it searches for a spot to settle down. Blastocyst means "sprout pouch," and these cells begin to divide into two groups - those that form the placenta and those that form the baby. The blastocyst will burrow itself into the lining of the uterus which is called implantation.

Week 4
The fused egg, or blastocyst, is attached deep inside the uterus. It keeps dividing to form tissues in the uterus, both for the baby and the mother.

Implantation - Some spotting (also known as implantation bleeding) may occur about 10 - 14 days after conception - or in the fourth gestational week of pregnancy. You may believe you are starting your period but generally this bleeding is extremely light and lasts only a day or so.

It doesn't happen five days after conception.
And oh yeah, I'm pregnant. And I had implantation pain in my fourth week of pregnancy. Around two weeks after conception.
And to answer the question about whether or not you would even know you are pregnant within five days. I did. I knew the second I conceived. I've known quite a few women that has happened for. Beyond any shadow of a doubt. This doesn't happen to everyone, however - it's very individual. There's no way of telling that you are five days pregnant without a blood test, and even then, your hGC levels would be so low at five days that it probably wouldn't even register on a blood test.
I knew I was pregnant though, so I tested well before my period was overdue, and was proved right!
