These are not typical symptoms of pregnancy nor implantational bleeding.
It is more likely to be spotting due to other causes and most common is a hormone imbalance
.While some causes may be easy to treat, others can indicate a serious underlying condition. Whether you notice spotting or heavier bleeding in between periods, it’s important to see your doctor for testing, diagnosis, and treatment options. Potential other causes of bleeding between periods include a growth in the uterus or cervix, stress, change in medications miscarriage, vaginal dryness.
Diagnostic tests should include ovarian ultrasound and hormonal measurements which will help your doctor find the cause of the bleeding.
