Question about mid-cycle spotting

[cnhauk]

Hello Ladies! I have a question about mid-cycle spotting.

On my CD 20, I started having some brownish spotting, which I know is old blood. Some clotting as well. But then on CD 21, the next day, I had some bright red/pink creamy spotting when I wiped with the toilet paper. It only happened on that day. I am still having some light brown spotting and I'm on CD 22 now. My average cycle is about 36 days, but I've had shorted cycles (28 days) and longer cycles (46 days).

My question is: Does it seem like the bright red/pink creamy spotting could be implantation bleeding? Or ovulation bleeding? I've never had bright red/pink bleeding mid-cycle before, other than brown spotting from old blood.

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated!

I agree with Clysta...I wouldn't think implantation spotting just yet...unless your cycle is really off this month for some reason. But it sounds more like you are about to ovulate or just did.

It's difficult to say, but I'd lean more toward it being ovulation spotting versus implantation. The only reason I guess that though is because it's roughly two weeks before your next period and that's usually when you'd ovulate. Implantation normally occurs when the week before or of your next cycle.
