Q: hello! im spotting light before my expected period with mild cramping, im 8 dpo & trying to conceive im just wondering if this could be implantation or my period coming?

: It could be either, only time can tell. Implantation period is just spotting and not more than 2 days. Period is more likely if bleeding is heavier in the next 24 hours.
