Spotting Before Period Is Due

So my last period was on February 28. We are trying for a baby, and we figured the fertile dates to be about the 11th-16th. Anyway, I am just in that 'waiting stage' because I obviously have to wait until the end of the month to see if I get another period or not. So here's my question....over the past 24 hours, I've had some VERY LIGHT spotting. It's bright red, and usually just a smear or two when I wipe. I'm not sure why.... This will be my 3rd baby, but I didn't experience implantation bleeding with my first two. Any ideas? Thanks!!

What can I do next?

I have heard it's common to have spotting when the egg plants in the uterus. Take a test as soon as you can. I hope it's positive! Good Luck :D!!!

I had three babies and had a bit of spotting with my second one. I have not had random spotting when not pregnant so I would get a test and see. With my third, the test registered 9 days before I missed a period.

it very well could be, it sounds like it might be and I do hope that it is, I wish you luck. most preggo test can tell very early on, did you try to take one? you can even take a fertility test and that will tell you if you are positive or not and usually sooner than a preggo test. when I was trying to have my daughter I took the test on the day I was due and it told me I was positive. some are even sooner than that,....it is worth a shot. oh and if you need to buy test in bulk: bc you are trying, I went to saveontest.com and got preggo and fertility test for less than a buck each! good luck really I hope you are blessed with another baby!

I have been pregnant 6 times and only had implantation bleeding 2 of the 6 times so it definitely doesn't happen every time but when it does it kind of freaks you out a little bit... Wondering if its implantation or the start of your period??? I would go to the doc and ask for a blood test. That would be the most accurate if you don't feel like waiting until next week. I am not a very patient person and I have found out really early on with all my pregnancies. Sometimes its a good thing other times it just makes it drag on forever, but at least then you know. Good luck and I hope you really are pregnant!! :)
