What Does Light Vaginal Bleeding Instead Of Periods Indicate?

I am trying to get pregnant I get a period every other month unfortunately However 2 days ago I noticed when I wipe there is a light brown/ pink blood on the toilet paper I thought I was getting my period but still nothing shows up on a pad I wore a tampon at night just in case and when I removed it in the morning a little spot of blood was on it that s it. What could this be?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Light and pink vaginal bleeding could be caused due to implantation bleeding. Since you are trying to become pregnant and sexually active, it goes more in favor of it.
Kindly get your urine tested for pregnancy after a week in case you don't get your periods this time.
Depending on the result, you can get it confirmed further by getting your blood checked for beta-HCG levels and trans-vaginal ultrasound scan (TVS).
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
Wish you good luck.
