Ovulation bleeding or ovulation spotting is a common monthly occurrence for many women. 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
I gave birth to a baby on 11th of July. I lost the baby, since then blood started coming out till on the 23 of July the bleeding stopped. I started having sexual intercourse with my husband and later on I started seeing blood on 21st of August and serious bleeding on 22nd and now today is the 3rd day the blood is dark brown. Please I really need your help (the blood is too much ).
Hello Mary, I am suggesting that you see your doctor ASAP.
Hi Alison,
I usually have my period at the start of month, my last one was started 3 AUG 2017 and finished around 9/10 AUG 2017. My husband and I have just started trying to conceive, so we have been trying regularly even without the fertility indicator of the Ovulation Test.
On 20 AUG 2017 and 21 AUG 2017, the Ovulation Test indicated I was fertile, and we took advantage of those days of course. Come 22 AUG 2017 (yesterday) I have started to bleed. At first is was a lot, and I had to change my panties but since then it’s been on the light side but still enough to stain my pad. Could it be a really light (for me) and early period? or a heavy ovulation bleed? or something more nefarious?
Hi there Tanya, this is extremely difficult to determine. It is just one of those things you have to watch and note to see what happens. All the best.
I’m 21 years old and I stopped taking my birth control on the last week of March before the pill I was very very irregular from 19 days between periods and up to 59 days between them, often missing at least 1 month, so I knew I probably wouldn’t start right away. . I didn’t start my period till June 15th and lasted til the 21st. and then skipped July. and in August it got weird I started I think spotting for 7 days it was like a dark brown and then it went to a very light period for 7 days. and then nothing for 1-3 days and now I’m spotting again, it was dark brown and now it’s light pink. Is this normal after stopping birth control? Am I ovulating or is it unusual and I should go to my doctor? I’ve been very worried that I’m not ovulating because I want to have kids next year. Please respond back I’m very worried.
my period in June was actually 15th round the 26th
Hi there Lois, this can be quite complicated. See your doctor for direct advice. All the best.
My fiancée and I have had unprotected sex the past month and this month where he cums in me. I was supposed to be ovulating starting this Tuesday I’ve had some pink spotting since yesterday and today had a very small clot. Not sure if this is normal or a pregnancy sign?

Hi there Juliet, many women have blood spotting during ovulation.
I’ve had spotting for 5 days only when wiping /using the toilet so hardly anything on underwear.
This began a day after a positive ovulation test.
I had a major cramp 3 days after this too but was also doing trampolining so thst concerned me unless it was a tummy bug as caused bowel movements.
I am still nursing so I worry it’s low progesterone. This is my 2nd cycle pp at 26 months. First positive OPK was cd32 this time was cd12 so was more hopeful I would fall this month. Any insight would be fab thanks
Hello UK mamma, spotting or seeing blood after wiping is very normal for many women during ovulation. If you have any concerns about the abdominal problems you are having please see your doctor for thorough assessment.
Hey Allison! Im currently on cycle day 15 and Im experiencing some slight bright red bleeding accompanied by cramps. Ive had the cramps and increasingly sore breasts since my last cycle was over, but the bleeding just started today. Ive never had mid-cycle bleeding before, either!

I had very light and dark brown/black color period for last three months and they occurred around 10 days late than usual. All three periods were dark brown/black from the day one. I had my last period on 18th July ended on 22nd, but I started bleeding again on 1st August and still bleeding for four days. This time also its a mixture of dark red/brown and black. I was not sexually active during last month and not on any birth control.
Before these incidences I used to have regular periods with normal bleeding.
Please help.

Hello Joysa, was this bleeding in between periods?
Hi.. I’m trying to conceive for the past 7 months, but I’m unsuccessful. From I started I started to bleed mid-cycle and still had a regular period. That happened for about 3 months and then it stopped and instead I get a strong sudden pain on my womb that lasted for an hour or two before it started easing down. That also lasted for 3 months n this month I’m starting again with the bleeding. It’s very light and it’s brown and it always happens around ovulation or some days after. Would really appreciate some help.
