Implantation bleeding or just spotting?

Hi ladies - I'm a little concerned about this... I am pretty straight on with a 30 day cycle. I'm about 9 or 10 days from my next period and I am spotting. My husband and I had sex day 14 of my cycle (used a diaphragm). Went to the doctor this morning - pee test was negative and they drew blood and will have results on Monday I am not trying to get pregnant. I have MS and am disabled.

Any thoughts?

Did you have intercourse around the time of the spotting?

The first day of my last period was April 26th, I had sex on May 9th and started spotting yesterday, May 16th. Isn't implantation 7 to 10 days after ovulation? If I ovulated on or around the 9th that would make the most sense...

Yes, you're exactly correct.

Could I still be pregnant?

I'm now four days late...

1. but I took a pee test and a blood test (10 days before my period was due) and both were negative
2. nothing showed on the pelvic ultrasound 5 days before my period was due except for a follicular cyst on my right ovary
3. and on the advice of my ob/gyn's office I took another pee test (thank goodness for dollar store pregnancy tests) and it was negative

I don't go to the ob/gyn for my second ultrasound and follow-up until the 20th!

I really don't think I am pregnant, but the way things go in my life (almost always the exact opposite of what I'm expecting) ... I'm not so sure.

HELP?!

and one more thing - (TMI warning)

I've had A LOT of cervical mucus the last four or five days, just like when I ovulate...

Ok, when was the last time you took a test?

I took a test yesterday morning. My period was due on Sunday (5/26) so I was three days late yesterday. It was negative.

The ultrasound was two-fold: a pelvic (w/a full bladder) and one with a transvaginal probe (w/an empty bladder) - so would they still not be able to see anything 5 days before my period is due?

With the Dollar Tree hpt does it not detect a low hcg?

Even with the vaginal probe, it's doubtful they'd see anything at all.

In an ultrasound you cant' see anything even when you are pregnant until you are about 5-6 weeks along or so.

When any of you were first pregnant did you have an abundance of cervical mucus? That's the one thing that's happening that I find to be really odd- that NEVER happens right before my period's due...
