Hi,
Ovulation bleeding usually is seen as slight spotting of fresh blood during the ovulation period. Implantation bleeding is usually seen about 10 days after fertilization as a fresh blood spotting sometimes resembling a light period. The way you have the bleeding at this stage of the cycle is suggestive of a possible hormonal imbalance and could be a breakthrough pre-menstrually. Yet, since you have every chance of conceiving, you should undergo an assay of serum beta-hCG titres about 2-3 days prior to your expected period or 10 days after your ovulation date to enable further management. Hope this helps.
