What is this spotting?

Hi, just a quick question. DH and I DTD, the next morning I noticed I had ovulated, I had Sticky egg white mucus tinged with a bit of blood. Later the next evening I was having brown spotting on the toilet paper but not on a pad. It continued for 5 days. Is this to early for implantation or is this an ovulation bleed? I have never had it before.

far too early for implantation - that wouldn't happen until at least day 5, usually day 6-8
it might be ovulation bleeding, but there is also a chance that the increased blood flow to your cervix area at that time has lead to a bit of bruising/bleeding

Thanks Briggsy's girl, that is the definitive answer I was after . I just couldn't find what I was after on the net. it makes perfect sense.
