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

I am getting seen on Monday privately while i am abroad but cant help being scared as when you look up on internet it tells you so much stuff it could be it scares life out of you please if anyone has lived anything like this and it has been dealt with please share it with us really would be appreciated.
Hello Mel, Sorry to hear what is happening to you, lots of women get spotting or bleeding in between periods i don’t think its anything to worry about if it was,after seeing doctors they would’ve told you you had a problem try not to worry too much about.
My last period was between July 19th to July 22nd (normal length). I had unprotected sex three times(July 27,28 & 30) but my partner never came close to ejaculating inside or near me (a good 10 minutes before he ejaculated). I am fairly regular on a 30 day cycle and only get delayed periods when stressed. This month, I had some brief pink spotting on August 1st lasting only for several hours that was seen when I wipe, light enough not to stain the liner; I never spot during ovulation so this threw me off and gave me a fright. My expected period should have occurred on either August 18th or 20th, but it has yet to come. I have been experiencing my usual premenstrual symptoms leading up to the expected period such as cramps, irritability, slight nausea and have been quite emotional. The occurrence of ovulation spotting also caused me to stress out about what it could mean. It is already the 21st, almost the 22nd of August, and my period still hasn’t come. Could my worry and stress be the cause for my delayed period, or is there a chance for pregnancy?
Hello Raie, There’s always a chance of getting pregnant when having unprotected sex but i think your constant worrying is what’s causing your period to delay.sometimes when i worry or stressed my period gets delayed too try not to worry too much.
So many Dr. Appts and not one Dr. Told me that what I am experiencing is bleeding ovulation. I simply thought it was my period or as I was told old period that never dropped and stayed behind (gross). Not promoting, but I downloaded an app called GLOW. It tracks everything. It notified me that my ovulation day is yesterday and today. I started to cramp and had minor bleeding. Putting 2 and 2 together, that’s when I decided to Google bleeding ovulation. If it wasn’t for the app, I wouldn’t have never known. 10 years of going to appts and I finally get an answer that makes sense. I will be going to one more Dr. and hopefully things will work.
Hi everyone, I’ve been having spotting/bleeding from 4/8/15 -19/8/15 which is 16days. During those 16days of bleeding, I’ve seen red blood, light pink, dark brownish color with little of dark cloths. On the 1/8/15 was my fertile day and I had sex with my husband, and on the 6/8/15 was my ovulation day and I had sex again with my husband. On the 20/8/15 which my period started, I bleed heavily with more mucus and some dark cloths. it is my first time to experience this bleeding. Myself and my husband have been trying for 3years to have a child and now I am not sure if I am pregnant/ is it implantation. Please I need your help/ views.
Hi, from what I’ve read in all the forums and websites about this, most spotting normally occurs for a much shorter period than 16 days (usually between 1-2 days and 4-5 at most). I eould suggest going to see your gyno to get tested to be sure there isn’t anything to worry about, especially if you’re experiencing an abnormal period from what you’re used to. I do hope you are able to figure out what’s going on. I send my prayers of a hopeful and healthy pregnancy to you and your husband!
My situation is similar in the sense that our cycles are similar so you might even be able to give me some insight! My period should have came on 20/08/15 just like you, as I am extremely regular; but it still hasn’t shown up. My ovulation should have happened around 03/08/15, however I had some light pink spotting without any discharge on 01/08/15. That was a first for me, so naturally I panicked a bit. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex a few days earlier but he never came close to ejaculating inside me. I did research on what could be happening, and various forums and websites have said it could be ovulation spotting. This brought some form of relief but I was still anxious to the possibility of a pregnancy, which led to more research that indicated it could be implantation spotting. I am currently feeling cramping, nausea and irritability, which are all the signs of my period coming so nothing seemed out of the ordinary except for the fact it still hasn’t showed up yet. Was that light pink spotting implantation bleeding or simply the mid cycle ovulation spotting? If you, or anyone, has any suggestions or opinions, I would be more than happy to hear!
Hi Rowena, have you taken a pregnancy test? you can never know for sure unless you take one also any type of spotting in between periods should be checked out by a doctor especially if its for a longer period of time. You may also be experiencing PMS symptoms.
Hello Jein, I think you should visit your doctor to find out why you are having bleeding so long.
Hi my boyfriend and I have sex last august 16 and 17 and my period start today august 20 I’m having meanstrual cramps and lower back pain we practice withdrawal do I get pregnant
Hi, I’m a little confused right now. My period started on the 1st and ended around the 8th of August, and I had protected sex on the 11th. On the 19th, I found some red spotting at night and today morning when I checked, it’s a small amount of brownish spotting only when I wipe. My period isn’t due until Sep 8 (my cycles are pretty long). Could this be more of ovulation spotting than implantation bleeding? I’m not exactly ready for a baby yet. :/
Hi SJ, Your next most fertile period is August 13, 2015 to August 17, 2015. so it is possible for you to be pregnant wait awhile and take a test or visit your doctor to be sure.
My last menstrual started light for three days July 24 then heavy for three days 26 27 28. I believe I had a strong ovulation result July 2…soon I know . So I believe I am 16 days post ovulation…yesterday morning I reused a pregnancy test(bit of experiment) light pink line appeared. Later on that afternoon with a different brand and it was negative. This morning I tried another test (same brand)and another negative. This evening I had some heavy spotting, mild cramping, but spotting has stopped. Is it too late for implantation bleeding??
Hello Steph, It is not too late for implantation bleeding, maybe your HCG level is too low to to give you a positive i suggest you visit your doctor.
Thanks Kelly…bleeding has stopped completely for the last two days …and negative test so far…I will wait till Aug 27 to go see my doctor
hi im just wondering if someone can help me, my ovulation day was on the 1st of August, me and my partner had intercourse on my ovulation day and on the second and third of August.
on the 3rd of august i started very lightly bleeding which i found strange because my period was not due until the 15th of August, the blood that looked like spotting lasted for about 7 days which then took me until the 10th of August. it is now the 18th of August 3 days after my period should of started and there is hardly any blood at all, i would say its just little blobs when i wipe, i have taken a home pregnancy test and it has just come back negative…i am just wondering is anyone has gone through this before or no anyone that has? it would be a massive help many thanks x x x x
Hi Luche,You can still be pregnant even with a negative test, I suggest you you go see your doctor.
Hi everybody I’ve been having some symptoms but I don’t know for sure what the exactly of but I’ve been bleed for about 3 days when I first started it was a very very light pink the second day I started having blood clots with very little bleeding in the third day I’m bleeding a lot more but it not usual though because it doesn’t feel like my period I’m not having much cramps like I usually do when I am on my period a friend of mine told me that I was spotting but I don’t think you spot for 3 days do you put my boobs are hard I’m tired most of the time. But it seems like the only time I have Blood coming out is when I go to the bathroom and push. Other than that the blood won’t come out
Hi Ashley,that really does sound like spotting,usually its nothing to worry about but if you are pregnant you should check with your doctor.

It usually takes at least one week for a woman to start ovulating again after she has stopped taking the pill. A period should follow about 4 to 6 weeks after the last pill was taken. You have not provided any dates but you can use this information to see if you are on track. This post can give you some insight on the best time to take a home pregnancy test http://womanjunction.com/home-pregnancy-test/
My last period started on July 20 & ended on July 27. I had unprotected sex August 11 & 5 days later I’m starting to bleed not really to heavy and I’m having cramps. But my periods not due for a couple more days. Why is this?
Hi I had my normal 4-5day period less then 2 weeks ago I always come on the end of each month but now I have started to bleed again it’s quite heavy n dark does any one know why this is?
Hi M, I think you should visit your doctor to find out why you had that bleeding.
I’ve had my period on 28th July, my cycle is of 32 to 35 days. im having a spotting today, (August 16th), its mildly brownish. I feel it is my ovulation spotting, but how can i confirm? someone help me please.
Hi Anna, there’s not much ways you can confirm that it’s your ovulation unless you do a ovulation blood test.
I am 20 and my period has been normal. However, I’ve been feeling extremely nauseous from time to time usually after breakfast or dinner. I am a vegetarian and eat pretty healthy but I have had on and off digestive issues. Recently however, I have been bleeding black.. More than just spotting but less than a period bleeding. My period is supposed to come late next week but I am already starting to feel some pain in the same area as I usually get cramps. My boyfriend and I have had intercourse a few times since my last period but we always throughly check the condom and none had holes. I have been light/mildly bleeding black for about 5-6 days now. I also have stress issues for years and my teeth grinding have been worse this past week. What could this mean? This is not a sign of pregnancy right? How likely can it be that it might be a sign related to it? Please give me some advice and feedback on what you may think is causing my problem. Thank you!
Hi Mizy, It sounds like you are pregnant and have been experiencing implantation bleeding,any form of bleeding that’s not associated with your period should be checked out so take a visit to your doctor.
Hi, Just curious if I’m getting my hopes up. 2 days late for my regular period. Day 3 light brown spotting, Day 4 normal red color similar to period, but not heavy, Day 5 redish pink spotting and intense lower abdomen menstrual cramps. Been very tired last 2 weeks, taste is off, some nausea to certain smells for 2 days then gone. Not normal for me lol. What’s up?
Hi Slygal2013, you should take a pregnancy test to be sure,you could be pregnant .
