Spotting before your period can sometimes be a sign of implantation, which occurs when a fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus. Implantation typically happens around 6-12 days after ovulation and can cause light bleeding or spotting. However, it's important to note that not all women experience implantation spotting, and there could be other reasons for spotting before your period, such as hormonal changes or an irregular menstrual cycle. If you suspect you might be pregnant, it's best to take a pregnancy test or consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
