12dpo - too late for implantation bleeding?

[PhasednotFazed]

Hey all. Period is due on Thursday and I ovulated 12 days ago according to Premom strips. Negative test this morning on an easy@home but just had some light bleeding begin - brown and pink. Early period (CD24 which has NEVER happened!) or possibly implantation? I think I’m probably clutching at straws, but is it possible?!

Yes implantation can happen 6-12 days post Ovulation so could be!

Yes, it is possible. As the bleeding takes time to flow out (brown blood means old blood) so it could be a few days after actual implantation. And implantation itself can happen upto 12 DPO but of course ovulation itself is tricky to exactly identify as it could happen 24-48 hrs after peak, and after EWCM. So you could have ovulated later too.
