Question

Ovulation spotting or Implantation?

Hello,
My husband and I are actively trying for baby #2! supposedly I ovulated today (CD16). (TMI alert!) However, I've had stretchy CM from CD9 to CD12. Then I was super bloated from CD 13 to CD15. Last night, my husband and I BD, and this morning I woke up to tan/very light brown spotting in my underwear and when I wipe. It's gone now though (CD16)...?

I can't tell if it's implantation spotting, or if it's ovulation spotting. My tan/light brown spotting looks similar to the implantation spotting I got when I had my ectopic in February. Not sure what to think... Care to share your experiences or advice?
Thanks!!

I forgot to mention that my husband and I BD on CD8 and CD12... So maybe it was implantation?

You say "supposedly I ovulated today," just wondering what leads you to that conclusion. Do you temp or use OPKs? Or are you going by some kind of average cycle length formula? Not sure what the spotting is but if it is implantation you should be able to test in 4-5 days. GL! :)

According to the App on my phone, and my temp. today, today is ovulation day. Sorry, I should have noted that I do BBT. I had low (normal) temps last week, then on CD14 my temp spiked to 98.5, then dropped down to 97.7 the next day (BD with Hubby), and today my temp spiked again to 98.1 and I had tan colored spotting this morning. It's gone now. My temps always stay below 98 before O-day.

Gotcha! I know that some women do spot when they ovulate so that might be what it is. But it seems like you probably ovulated on CD 13, so maybe it's just weird random mid-cycle spotting. I wouldn't think it'd be implantation yet since it's only been a few days. Hopefully you figure it out! :)

Well if you had stretchy cm cd9-12 then maybe you got pregnant then. I know that's a fertile sign. So if you bd on the 8th & got pregnant then you could of experienced implantation bleeding. Wait 3-5 days and take a test with low sensitivity. I used a test that was 25ML and got a faint positive 5 days before my af. Otherwise wait to see if your af comes. GL!
