Ovulation?: More likely the timing suggests spotting from ovulation. The estrogen level drops a bit at ovulation and some women can spot. Implantation spotting (not required for a normal pregnancy), would occur about 5-7 days after ovulation. I hope this helps but see your doc if still questions and/or it persists.
