Katie, I have noticed the same thing and am also trying to get pregnant. I have had 2 miscarriages so I'm worried that the bleeding could be related. Does anyone have any information? Thanks!

According to the book Taking Charge of your Fertility by Toni Weschler, a day or 2 light bleeding right around ovulation is normal. It is another fertitlity sign that can help us identify where we are in our cycle. Its usually the result of sudden drop of estrogen just before ovulation & tends to occur more often in long cycle.
I personally have this kind of bleeding and had a cycle length of around 35 days. Was pretty worried initially & even had an ultrasound done to check for cyst but everything turn up fine. But after reading the above mentioned book, make me feel really relieved cause me, too, suffered from an early miscarriage 2 wks ago.

I have this and so did my Mum. The most interesting explanation I saw was that it is due to a drop in oestrogen just prior to ovulation. I only get it some months - maybe that's when I'm actually ovulating. Haven't really bothered about it except now am trying to get pregnant and wonder whether the blood will affect environment for sperm - anyone have any info on that?

I am also trying to get pregnant and have just started bleeding 15 days after my period. At first I had hoped it was Implantation Bleeding but it is definately more of a 'bleed' than 'spotting'. Is it now too late to conceive or is there still a chance before my period is due? Any info on mid-cycle / ovulation bleeding & implantantation bleeding would be a great help.

I had a miscarrage one and a half year ago and trying to conceive now. I have the middle cycle bleeding also. The miscarrage was happend at the middle of my cycle (suppose). But no explanation from my OB/GYN. I do think there are a relationship with the middle cycle bleeding and miscarrage. Is there someone can explain this to me? THanks!

Is there a way to tell if it's an irregular period or if it's just bleeding during ovulation? I have the same issue as Carol and am cuirous is if it's now too late to conceive. Thanks

Hi, me again. My period is due today, I have had slight cramps and only a slight amount of brown discharge which is unusual as my cycle is normally regular. I have my fingers crossed that I could still be pregnant and that the mid cycle bleeding was just due to ovulation after all. I will let you know how I get on. Am still very confused though regarding mid-cycle & ov. bleeding - can't seem to get any concrete advice on either.

It is quite normal to have a slight bleed around the time of ovulation due to hormone changes, it does not affect your fertility.
Implantation bleeding usual occurs around the time your period is due and can be accompanied by cramps.
And i would also like to say there is hope after miscarrage, i had 2 and now i have 2 perfect children.

I have recently gotten off of birth control to try to become pregnant. I calculated when I was suppose to ovulate and that day I began to bleed very heavily. Could this just be from coming off the pill?
