Implantation bleeding or something else?

Hi, I would really appreciate opinions please. Dh and I have been trying for our first baby for over a year. My cycle is usually between 28-34 days. According to my ava bracelet I ovulate last Saturday the 30th. Dh and I had unprotected sex on the Tuesday, so 4 days before ovulation supposedly occurred. I didn't think it was close enough to ovulation to get pregnant, but am of course aware there's always that chance and the bracelet could have got the day wrong.

Last night I got some right pelvic pain out of nowhere. It was a throbbing pain and only lasted a few minutes and went away again. Thought nothing of it. Woke up this morning and discovered some light pink bleeding when I wipe. The thing is, my period isn't due for around another 6 days. I am not usually this early.

Its panicking me a bit that something may be wrong as I know unusual bleeding can be a sign of something more serious. Could it possibly by implantation bleeding, 8 days after ovulation? Obviously I will just have to wait and see and then make an appointment with the doctor if needed. Just wondering if implantation does actually exist? Thank you.

Forgot to say as well, I'm having some low level cramping, which is making me think it's not implantation bleeding.

It's possible but you just have to hold out a little while longer, if no AF then take a test.

I had similar when wiping at 4dpo. Today at 6dpo I have milky white discharge and cramping.
I think we will just have to be patient an test in a few days Smile

Thank you for both for your replies. I am still spotting, still very light and I can only see it when I wipe. Not getting my hopes up as I have been disappointed so many times before and I k ow better now, but just gonna monitor the situation and I've ordered pregnancy tests to havein future. fropper I have my fingers crossed for you. Are you still bleeding today or just have the discharge now?

I had very light spotting on 9dpo on two occasions- the cycle before BFP and the cycle of BFP. I suspect that the first time was attempted but failed implantation and the second cycle was successful implantation!
So I think it could be a positive sign for you, but obv fingers crossed/wait and see.

Thank you cuppa. I'm glad you got your bfp Smile fingers crossed I get mine. The funny thing is, if I turn out to be pregnant this month, we weren't actually really trying much, having been trying for over a year we got a but fed up and stopped tracking my cycle. Its only by chance I looked at my calendar and seen it was in the middle of my fertile window, after we had sex🤷‍♀️ in fact, we were actually considering wearing a condom because we have things going on and the timing maybe isn't perfect for a wee one, but thought 'fuck it, it hasn't worked thus far, what's one more time going to do' 🙈 but if i get a bfp we will be over the moon 🥰 the spotting has got lesser and lesser through out the day and has more or less stopped now . I have to wedge a bit of loo roll right up there to see if there's anything, where as earlier I just had to wipe. Excuse the very unelequent description! I take it this is a good sign?
