Bleeding during ovulation

Vic - March 16

Hi everyone, not really an answer, just wanted to say how relieved i am to read all this! i've had spotting / light bleeding mid-cycle for a couple of years (and on and off before that), and i'd never thought much of it until recently when someone told me it wasn't normal and could be a sign of something serious. V.relieved when google led me here... it seems like it's actually very common. i just get a couple of days of spotting, which, mixed with my normal discharge around that time, means that i have to wear a pantyliner, but that's no great hassle really!

Glad to hear I'm not the only one with this problem. I have been trying to get pregnant for 8 months. I have had spotting before ovulation, during and after. Not all in the same month, it will change on me. I took Clomid for one month in Dec. and my ovaries enlarged and I developed a cyst. This cause a lot of irregular bleeding. My last cycle length was 31 days and I think I ovulated on the 15th or 16th of this month. For the past 3days I have had very light spotting and today some light to medium bleeding. I also didn't know if this was implantaton bleeding, spotting, or starting my period early. How the heck do you know????

I am about a month pregnant and I had sex with my boyfriend during this time. After awhile I had went to the bathroom and realize that I was bleeding did I have a miscarrage or is it something else?.

This is for nesha...I just read on another web site that sex does not cause a miscarrage and some women can have bleeding when they are pregnant. Hope this helps. Call your doctor-it wouldn't hurt.

First off, I'm so glad that what I'm going through appears to at least be somewhat common. I have experienced brownish blood around what I *think* is my ovulation time (my periods are somewhat irregular), but last night I started bleeding a lot more than what the midcycle bleeding has usually been like, and it's more red. Any ideas why it might be so heavy? My period isn't due for at least another week.

we are trying to conceive with my husband and this month i had light bleeding around my ovulation time for 5 days. first i thought it was an implantation vleeding, so i went to the doctor to take the blood test and it was negative. i don't know what to think...i never had it before...my doctor doesn't know what it is either...should i go do the ultrasound or wait for my periods (in a week)...is there a possibility that i just got pregnant during that bleeding?

My cycles range anywhere from 33-56 days and it is only during my longer cycles that I have some mid-cycle spotting. I've been charting my temps for several months as we've been TTC and noticed that the spotting usually occurs up to a week before I actually ovulate. If you are in doubt as to whether or not the spotting corresponds to ovulation then I would recommend charting your temps so you know for sure.

Hey everyone!! It is good to know that I am not alone in this battle. My husband and I have been trying for 6 months now and bleeding , ovulation , the whole fertility process could be confusing, frustrating , and just plain upsetting but one thing i realize in this whole process while i wait for my blessing to come is that the most important thing is to believe that we will bring children into this world , not by our own power but with God's help. Prayer have brought me through some obstacles before ,so this doesnt make it any different . Just believe my sisters and we shall recieve!

I have been trying for over a year with no success. Some cycles have been normal lenght (20-30 days) But some are longer (45-50 days). I have been to an OB and my ultrasounds are normal as are the paps. Seems that durring a long cycle I get spotting that isn't linked to ovulation at all. Estrogyn rises to push ovulation causing brownish discharge but isn't enough to cause ovulation. The spotting stops and my BBT and CM fluctuates before the process starts all over again. It is makes me mad that my body is working against my hopes of child birth. I chart CM BBT and LH. Currently on cycle day 37 no ovulation as of yet. Only my second cycle this year.

Hello everyone..just worried...from past two days i am bleeding slightly though my period date is still 15-20 days away (i always had my periods regularly) Does this mean i am pregnant or it is just stress ?is it normal ? Can someone help.

Hey everyone, I hope you all are well. I was waiting to post until I had more news to share with everyone, but things are great here. I went to the Dr. at about 6 1/2 weeks and was able to see the hearbeat on the ultrasound. It was such a relief. I was told that I have a tender cervix and an infection (due to increase vaginal secretions which can be common with early pregnancy). My Dr. said that the infection is fairly common with increased mucous, but due to the tender cervix and some bad coughing i was experiencing (thanks to whatever bug happened to be going around at the time) it was causing bleeding. So thanks to a good round of antibiotics, robitussin, a little bit of rest, and :( no sex with the hubby until my next visit, the bleeding has stopped and we think that everything is going to be fine. We are so thankful and I hope that this is helpful to anyone experiencing the same things and let this give you hope. I am now 8 1/2 weeks pregnant and my husband and I are thrilled - we are going to tell the family over the Easter holiday, but will reamin cautious. For those of you who are still trying - don't give up! It can happen for you at any time maybe sooner than you know. I'm glad that everyone here is being supportive of all because we are all in this together. I hope everyone (including me) has a successful pregnancy and many beautiful babies! Oh, by the way - I'm only having one... I know thanks to the ultrasound :) but hopefully it is one healthy, happy baby!! Good luck all!!

I have had 2 polypectomies in the past 8 mths. Now I am trying to conceive and the Dr. has put me on clomid ( I do not start taking it until my period arrives this month). I am noticing a couple days of spotting light red to brown during mid cycle and am afraid the clomid will make it worse or I will be unable to get pregnant. Note: the reason I feel like I do about the Clomid is because while trying to regulate my cycle after surgery the Dr. tried birth control pill & patch. Both caused intermittent bleeding and heavy periods. My body just does not react well to hormone pills I guess. Should I just go see a fertility specialist and not wast my time w/ my reg. ob/gyn?

Oh, I also forgot something. If you notice the mid cycle bleeding, should you have had sex prior to, during, or after. If this is a sign of ovulation, I have heard that you should have sex before. I just want to make sure this is right. THANKS everyone who has posted on this website. It has been a blessing reading your stories and gives me hope...God bless

hi, so relieved to find this site! I am also trying to be pregnant & am worried because i started to bleed three days after my last period. I don't know if it's ovulation bleeding, implantation bleeding or my body is just doing it's own thing to confuse me! My breasts are very sensitive and 'burning' inside, pregnancy test was negative. ovulation test was positive! I am very confused!!!
