Spotting or early period?

Hilary

I am not expecting my period for another 8 days, although I am on day 27 of my cycle. Usually I have my period on day 30-35... I have been testing my ovulation and pretty sure I identified the window where I was ovulating according to my test. We have sprinkled lots of baby dust! This was last week.. now I have been spotting light to medium for the last 48 hours. Its not enough to use a pad or tampon, I have some minor cramps but no other symptoms. This is unusual for my period.. but it does feel like it could be an early period. I've heard of spotting during implantation... I hope that's what it is but don't want to get my hopes up. Will wait until my period is late I think to test... any advice?
