We never say: Is impossible butbleeding at this point, from a pregnancy this cycle, is not happenning. The implanting blastocyst would be microscopic in size. Intermenstruial bleeding is what you are having, its not unusual but check a pregnancy test of concerned. Good luck.

Spotting may = preg: Given the report of 5 days post-ovualtion, the spotting may represent embryo implantation which is associated with spotting. Confirmation would only come from showing a positive HCG in a urine or blood test thereafter.
