A member asked:

My period was.4 days late, i.started.spotting.yesterday and am now bleeding.somewhat heavy. could this ne implantation bleeding or my period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely a period: The time sequence is likely that of a normal period after ovulating a few days later than usual, do you want to be pregnant ? If not, a reliable birth control method can ease your mind.
