My Last period was on July 1st and I ovulated between the 12th and 14th. Today is the 29th and I woke up to a small amount of blood. Not real red, kind of on the darker side. I have had mild cramping, irritablity, increased appitite and some minor weight gain. What do you think is going on with me?

It sounds like you could be starting your period. If you are on a 28 day cycle, this would be about the time you are supposed to start. Some people do experience implantation bleeding, but it is actually rare.

All of the symptoms you described sound like typical PMS to me. The weight gain could be due to water retention, which is a sign that your period is coming.

All you can really do is wait and see if you miss a period. If you do, take an HPT about 1-2 weeks after the missed period. Use your first morning urine, it is the most accurate. You can also go to the doctor and request a blood test.

If you haven't even missed a period yet, I wouldn't worry about it until that time comes.
