Trying To Conceive. Have Slight Bleeding, Spotting, Past Ovulation. What Is Wrong?

Hi my period is due in 3 days. Me and my husband are trying for a kid, for the past 7 months but with no luck. This month also we had regular sex every other day. Yesterday soon after intercourse I had a slight bleeding or rather spotting (it could be some 13 or 14 days past ovulation now, not sure). Is there anything to worry about.

Hi,
There should be nothing to worry about, just wait for your period and if you miss it go for a pregnancy test with a fresh early morning sample of urine, 3-7 days after the missed period. If pregnancy is confirmed, it could be an implantation bleed; if not, it is the premenstrual spotting. If you wish for an earlier confirmation, you can get serum beta-hCG assay as it is more sensitive and specific. Hope this helps.
