13DPO (period due tomorrow) - DTD bright PINK spotting?!

[stiletto_mom]

So weird, usually if I spot before my period, it's light brown/brown or like blood red. I have irregular periods but my luteal phase is usually 12 days. I'm on 13DPO today and Fertility Friend says I'm supposed to get AF tomorrow.

Anyway, DH and I just DTD and I'm light pink spotting. Is this the start of the witch?

I do feel like I might be coming on with some typical AF symptoms, tender breasts. I usually have intense cramps right before AF and full blown PMS mood swings. The last few days, I've had light twingy cramps, and like kind of emotional/irritable.

I can't decide if this is just a lighter period or maybe something else?

If this happened to you, what did it turn out to be? (Please be honest, I don't want to get my hopes up but I'd like to be realistic. Thanks in advance!)

Hi hun,
Since you said be honest, I will... I had that happen to me 2 days before my already-late AF, so I got SUPER excited... it was definitely pink, and I never spot. But the witch showed up late and just as unwelcome as ever.
BUT I have my fingers super crossed for you! Hopefully your situation is different! GL and keep us updated!

I don't mean to be a Debbie downer also, but I don't think this is implantation spotting. Unfortunately implantation spotting happens usually a week before AF. This sounds like AF spotting. Since you have a 12 day LP that means implantation spotting would have taken place around 8dpo. So sorry, hoping the doesn't get you this month! Keeping my Fx for you!!

Thanks so much for your honesty.

I won't get my hopes up but I wish she'd just show already so I can make an appointment for my sonohystogram. GAH!
