Implantation bleeding or spotting?

Kristine

Is it possible to still have implantation bleeding while your period is late? I’m four days late for my period, and experienced some fairly light pink bleeding when I wiped last evening, and then nothing since. I’m trying to give myself through the weekend as my period has been known to lag sometimes and I’ve been having a lot of low back/kidney area dull pain as well. While my partner and I are not actively ttc, we’re both kind of in a “if it happens it happens” type of mindset as we both want children (and in his case, more children. I do have a bonus son that we see every other week)?

I guess the long story short version of this is: am I at a point I should maybe be going to buy a test? There’s little things I’m noticing that are making me kind of go “welllllll….maybe” in regards to whether I’m pregnant or just pms’ing, but was having trouble finding out info online in regards to the spotting type bleeding happening while I would be technically in the part of my cycle that I should be having my period.

Thanks!
