Light Spotting Early Pregnancy: Possible Implantation Bleeding?


Question
I am 32,no kids, date of LMP was 1/18/05; ovulated on 2/8/05 (took OPT and had cramps all day, and was charting my CM and temps).  You had helped me in Dec. when I miscarried.  This is the first month TTC again, and have been feeling pregnant this week - very tired, heavy breasts, just not the same.  I was planning on taking a HPT this weekend (my  period should be due 2/22).  Today I am spotting - like a very light menstrual pd, but not on a pad, and red colored.  Could this be implantation bleeding, or am I off with when my period should start?

Answer
Implantation bleeding occurs around 8 days after conception. However, the spotting your are starting to have sounds like the beginning of your regular period. If you do not get a regular period by March 1, then take a pregnancy test. If it is negative at that time, you are not pregnant.
