Hi,
I understand your concern.
- There is possibility of pregnancy in every woman having regular menses with ovulation with spotting of blood around expected day of menses ( which is likely to be implantation bleeding .. as you rightly guess. )
-Secondly after 45 there are chances of hormonal imbalance pertaining to approaching menopause leading to irregular menstruation.
* the differentiation can be by pregnancy test ( either blood test around menstruation date OR home pregnancy test after 8 days of expected menses.)
Thanks.
