There are some who have never experienced it, or only experienced it after changing birth control, but you should know that it is normal, regardless if you have the spotting or not. Some who experience ovulation bleeding monthly use it as a reasonably reliable way to determine ovulation so they can use this sign to either avoid getting pregnant or to conceive instead. What Causes Ovulation Bleeding First, let’s discuss what ovulation is in general. This is when the ovary releases an egg to make it’s way
Facts About Ovulation Bleeding
Hello I need an answer to this. I was supposed to start my periods on the 08/06/16 instead I had this brown spotting mixed with creamy cm for three days. I did a pregnancy test and it was negative .I also had egg white cm a day before my period were due.
Hi Pam, since the test was negative you should either take a pregnancy test of another brand for confirmation or another reason for your missed period could be because of stress or hormonal changes
Hey,
I’m kind of stressing out, I had sex with my boyfriend on the 21st of May. I was spotting two days later, it was dark brown for two days. The day i started bleeding is also the day I ovulated. I took a week later two pregnancy tests and both were negative. I am now 1 day late for my period. What does it mean?
Please reply as soon as possible and thank you!
Hi tara, you could be late because of stress also. take a pregnancy test 10 days ater your missed period date to be sure.

Hi… I am reha & I am 29 years & my husband was 33 years. We never used pills. We used condoms only. We are planning for kids from past 6 months. We visited doctor for regular check ups but reports says everything was normal. I used to have 26 to 28 days cycle every month. On may 12th my menstrual cycle started & ended on may 15th. I had spotting in red colour on may 24th, 25th, 26th till 29th while urinating. On may 30th night heavy spotting. Can you please tell me what may be the reason for this continue spotting from 13th day of my cycle..
Hi Reha, what you are experiencing is called as ovulation bleeding.It is actually considered as a sign of fertility.Basically, ovulation spotting is usually a natural occurrence, which reveals fertility.
Hi.. My and my boyfriend was fooling around.. he was rubbing his penis around my vagina, at some point it touches the opening too.. And then I ended up giving him a handjob, he cum right on my hand. I was putting my legs accross from his legs during that time and it was about 3-5 inches away from where he cum. We grabbed a alcohol wipe and wiped off the cum right away and wiped it off with normal napkin paper later. I also noticed that my vagina is close to it, I got a little scared so I also took the alcohol and wiped my vagina then wiped it again with napkin afterwards. It is my very first time doing something like this and I’m scared. I’m not sure if I could get pregant. I’ve been very stressed out lately. The date we did that was on May 15, a day after my period was over. I’ve been very stressed out and scared. I believe my period started on May 7th so I guess ovulation is starting May 21? i’ve had bloating and plotting, light one sice cramp, and somehow constipation on May 21. today (May 22nd) I notcied a little plotting, still a little of constipation Am I pregnant? Or is it just normal ovulation sign? I’m feeling somehow lightheaded and dizzy today as well. I dont know if this is from my anxiety and stress or what. i couldn’t help myself with the stress I’m dealing with. I’m also taking coughing syrup the night before because I’m sick. I usually don’t pay attention much to ovulation and such.. I know from previous experience, I’ve also noticed some plotting like this before. Please help me. Is this all because I’m stressed out or am I pregnant 🙁 I took 2 pregnancy tests yesterdaya nd today and its negative but its just a week after we did that.. so i dont think its accurate. I used First Respond. Sorry if this js so complicated but I’m scared, my family would kill me if I’m pregnant
Hello Toni, Please dont be stressed and be relaxed a bit girl. The symptoms you are having could also be just because of stress. You have already taken pregnancy test which are negative and if you still have a doubt please visit a doctor.

Hello Jennyfer, Hope you are doing good. Well bleeding after sex could be because of many reasons like:
a) Abnormal growths on the cervix or in the uterus
b) Infection or inflammation of the vagina, uterus or cervix
c) Trauma to the vagina or cervix
It is good that you have already consulted a doctor. If you face further instances of bleeding do inform your doctor. Stay healthy!
Hi…pls i need an answer to this..i had unprotected sex with my boyfriend a day before my period and on the last day of my period..two days later i noticed some light blood stains on my panties and i’ve been bleeding lightly especially when i pee….few days later, i had unprotected sex again and the light bleeding hasn’t stopped..could that b pregnancy?
Hello Gbemi, Bleeding after sex does not mean pregnancy. It is quite normal for some women to bleed after sex. However if your bleeding hasn’t stopped for some time now you should definitely go consult a doctor.

Got my period March 25th and it never left, it got lighter though. It is brown,red,and pink. My doctor says it’s ovulatory bleeding. I’m so confused, because he offered progesterone to stop it. Help, what’s the right thing to do?
I am 38 year old and unmarried. Recently I started to notice spotting in the middle of my menstrual cycle. I went to the doctor and had an ultrasound scanning. The result showed that everything was fine. My concern is that I never experienced spotting throughout my life and this is the first time. It has been four months continuously since I noticed this problem. I am quite worry as I never happened to me before. Is it still to be considered as normal ovulation bleeding?
It would be best if you got a second opinion from another doctor. This is not a normal occurrence.
Thank you for your reply. I went to the second doctor and got my uterus scanned again, The result was still the same, nothing was found in my uterus. Should I get further scanning or just leave it?
The doctors have given you a clean bill of health so leave it. Ensure that you’re not stressed and see if the symptoms will go away.
Thank you so much for your advice. Have a good day!
My regular periods are the 13th and 14th every month.. Suddenly I started having brown and dark red blood in between periods starting 2/29/16 after already having a period 2/14/16.. I had another regular period of 2/29 which was 3/13/16 now I’m having another in between period/blood since 3/28. Which is my ovulating dates. I have had unprotected sex with my boyfriend 3 times since 3/28. Do you think I could be pregnant or something else wrong? Last month I visited my ob and she said I have no diseases/ STD’s and I wasn’t pregnant then. Could I be pregnant now?
Kylie, this dark and red blood is a lot like a period or just small amounts of discharge? If it’s just small discharge, then it is normal. It is just old blood that’s been hanging around in the uterus.
Are you experiencing any other symptoms such as unusually frequent urination, burning during urination, itching or foul smelling discharge?
My boyfriend and I have been having unprotected sex since my last period. (2 weeks ago) I usually spot on my ovulation day every month, this month I have yet to have any spotting could this be a sign of me being pregnant? I’m super anxious, I hate that I have to wait to see if I have a missed period or not!
Hi Crystal, there may be many reasons for not seeing the spot. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you are pregnant. I’m sorry but you will have to wait until your period date to know more.
Hi Guys…
I had my period on feb 11-16.
Had sex on feb 21st.

Amy, was that unprotected sex?

Okay, In that case, if you have not got your proper period by now, please take a pregnancy test.
I did take it twice
It’s negative.

Hi Tiffany, there may be various reasons for bleeding immediately after sex. It may be due to breaking of a blood vessel in the cervix, usage of contraceptive pills or any kind of infection. It is definitely not a good symptom and can be a serious issue, so please contact a gynecologist.
Hey there .. I have a good question to ask I was on a injection once in my life only had one shot got off it because my body was rejecting it .. How ever me and my husband trying to get pregnant. So I was bleeding abit during periods and I’m one month off that injection.so after I was bleeding i had this clear white stuff coming out and I was also spotting but my hormones were very hyped and I was very hormonal and I couldn’t stay away from my husband .. And we had sex and ejaculated … So uhm what I wanna know is have I conceived or can I? I also had problems. Trying to know when I ovulated because sometimes my period comes early or late and usually use to bleed for 6 days ?
