Implantation? Or start of AF?

I have some questions, I am hoping someone can help. I thought AF was here today, but it has only been a little light pink blood when I wipe. But it has been for about 8 hours now, although I am wearing a pad and nothing there. So, my question, would this be right for implantation bleeding? I would ahve thought that would be before now, when period is supposed to be here. I wouldn't question it, but I never spot. Also, how long after implantation would you say that an hpt shows +? If not this time, maybe I will know for when it really does happen.

Thanks :)

I got pink spotting 4 days bf AF was due. Now I'm late for AF but i've been spotting brown mucous once a day for 4 days with no AF in site. So, I guess to answer your question, I think anything is possible. I think the best advise to both of us is that time will tell and it's highly frustrating and exciting to decipher spotting. As for HPT, it could be days after AF is late that you would get a BFP. Hope it helps.

I hope it is implatation spotting for you! Last month I had some light spotting (pinkish mostly) and thought for sure it was implantation but then I proceeded to spot off and on (mostly off but still every few days...) till AF came. I think what the other woman said was right - you just don't know till it either comes or better yet, DOESN'T come! I have also read that implantation spotting is actually less common than women think. So that's my two cents limited knowledge for you! Keep us posted - hope it's bfp!!
