Answer 1

If you're two weeks from your period, it's more likely ovulation spotting.  Implantation bleeding is extremely rare, and would likely happen within a week of your period being due. Ovulation spotting is actually a very good sign of high fertility.

You say 'supposedly.' Do you know for *sure*?  Are you using an ovulation calculator? Because although a calculator can make an educated guess, your body ovulates on it's own time.  Not on an average based on many women that a calculator will give you. In all my years of ovulating, I have, a few times, experienced ovulation spotting. So yes, it can indeed happen all of a sudden even if you haven't experienced it before. A day or 2 light bleeding and/or cramping right around ovulation is normal. It is another fertitlity sign that can help us identify where we are in our cycle. Its usually the result of sudden drop of estrogen just before ovulation.

The best way to track your ovulation - and to be able to be absolutely sure of the exact date - is to track your basal body temperature. Go to http://www.fertilityfriend.com and sign up for a free account. Take their online charting test.  It will give you all the in's and out's of tracking your cycle.

The timing you're giving in your question lines up with ovulation, not with implantation.

I wish you luck.

**********OK hold the phone. I just read another of your questions where you said you just got off birth control.  Correct?  This is likely just your body becoming adjusted to not being on birth control.  Your body will usually take at least 2-3 months after stopping the birth control to regulate your cycles and ovulation again. I'm sorry.
