Spotting/day 26: With regular periods, and no history of "spotting" prior to the onset of the next period, if ovulation were delayed, this could represent implantation bleeding, or just cervical irritation from sexual activity. If your period is delayed beyond the expected date (around 4 December ?) wait a week to 10 days and get a serum HCG test. If negative, see your gyn provider for an exam.
