It depends when you ovulated. It happens at *one* time, not over a matter of several days.
It takes about a week for the fertilized egg to get from the Fallopian tube to the uterus and start implanting. Some women have implantation spotting anytime from 1 to 2 weeks after ovulation. So, if you ovulated on Tuesday or Wednesday, it couldn't be implantation bleeding. If it was on Monday, it is just barely possible (6 days between ovulation and spotting). I am assuming from what you wrote that you mean you used an ovulation kit, and it said you were fertile from Monday to Wednesday, which would mean the kit predicted ovulation on Wednesday.
The next problem is that ovulation kits have a serious flaw. They tell you when your body is *getting ready* to ovulate, not when you *do* ovulate. Sometimes your body prepares for ovulation, then "changes its mind", waits a few more days and ovulates later than you think. In *this* case, the spotting could be a sign of ovulation, and it's too late now to get pregnant.
I would strongly suggest you read _Taking Charge of Your Fertility_ by Toni Weschler. It will explain how to determine when ovulation *actually* occurs, not when it's (maybe) about to happen. It is cheaper (especially if you borrow the book) and more accurate than ovulation kits. It is also excellent just to teach you more about your body.

It could be implantation bleeding. That usually occurs between 7-10 days after ovulation. You will most likely not be having any signs of pregnancy now. You usually will around 6-8 weeks along, which is about a week or two after you miss your period. But having implantation bleeding doesnt always mean you are pregnant. It only means that something is "trying" to implant, it might not be successful, not to get your hopes down. But you definatly have a huge chance of being pregnant. I hope my information helped. Good luck to you in baby making! I hope all goes well!!!

if you are spotting it might be that you could be pregnant. However like i learned it might be to early to tell. If you are spotting a lot then i would suggest going to the doctor. I know from experience that sometimes women can spot when the egg is implanting into the uterine wall

You CAN spot and be pregnant. Go buy a "First Response" pregnancy test. It is the most sensitive. I knew I was pregnant 9 days after I had sex with that test. Good Luck to you!

That spotting could be a sign of implantation of the egg, if it doesn't subside in a few days I would go to ur doc just to be sure that it's nothing serious.

Not necessarily...and it may be too soon to know for sure. You will probably need to wait another week or two...
