Facts About Ovulation Bleeding
Hi! My period ended last January 29, 2017 and I had sex with my boyfriend on January 30, 2017. We used a condom and he never came inside me. Then on my first day of ovulation (February 5,2017), I noticed a bit of brown discharge which lasted for three days. I don’t feel any different and all but I just want to know what this means exactly. Thank you!

Hey, the last day of my period was on the 26th of January. I had sex on the first two days of my ovulation (1st & 2nd) on the 5th I started spotting and I’ve been spotting for 3 days now. With little cramping on the 3rd day(today). In January I had sex 3 out of the 7 possible days of ovulation. Do I need to see a doctor? Is this normal? Am I pregnant?
Hi there Destiny, you did not state whether or not you were trying to get pregnant. To confirm that you might be pregnant take a pregnancy test.
I’m not trying to get pregnant but I’m not on birth control. I use to be but way back in 2014. I’ve been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend since but still not pregnant. However, I wouldn’t be mad if I got a bundle of joy. Does this sound like pregnancy? Possibly…. I just want 2nd & 3rd opinions

Hi! I’m just worried about what’s happening about my body… I’m 18y/o I’ve had sex with my boyfriend last january 2 but he didnt cum inside me but in my lower abdomen I wiped it and wash my v. I was so worried if I’m pregnant or not which caused so much stress and prevent me from eating (i’ve become underweight) and etc because of overthinking. My last menstruation was december 24 and got my next period last january 21 which was so light but lasted for 6 days consistently light period… I’ve obtained pt which showed negative. Now 15 days from my last period (which is under ovulation period) I’m having a scanty red to brown vaginal discharge which is unusual. What does that indicates?
Hi there Ela! The condition you are experiencing is not normal. You should visit a doctor and get yourself checked. Best Regards

Hi. So here’s my story. I’ve quite a regular menstrual cycle >30 days or sometimes even 35 days. I’ve had my period on Nov 4, 2016 then I’ve had sex with my boyfriend around last week of November. He didn’t cum inside me. We didn’t even “do” it. It was just for about 30 seconds or maybe even less, We immediately stopped it cos we weren’t ready yet for a baby. I keep a period calendar and was expcting my period around the same time in Dec. But I got my period on December 15, 2016. It was 41 days. I never had sex with my boyfriend since that last time in November cos I really didn’t want to get pregnant. But there were times when he is naked in top of me then I’d let him cum on my stomach but we never had sex. Since around the 2nd week of January 2017 I’ve been having brown discharge and I don’t know if really am experiencing nausea or I am just being paranoid and all. But sometimes there’s blood. There are even clots/tissues with it. And it isn’t just spotting, I think, because it’s really a lot. I went for a run last January 20 and when I got home I noticed blood on my shorts. I don’t know what’s happening. Sometimes there’s a lot of blood but most of the time it’s just brown but still a lot. I took a pregnancy test that same January 20 night and it came out to be negative. I waited for more than 10 minutes thinking the result might change but it’s reallynegative. Can someone help me out please. I’d appreciate some answers. Thanks!!
Hello Kate, this doesn’t sound good. Please see your General Practitioner or Gynecologist ASAP.
I’ve been using ensure inserts for birth control and my husband uses the pull out method as well. I was supposed to start my cycle on Jan. 21st but I started spotting, cramping, backaches on Jan. 20th. It is now the 22nd and I still don’t have a cycle and I still have the spotting, cramping and backaches. Pls tell me what’s going on somebody. I’m in extreme pain and irritated.
Hi Teacake, this could either be your cycle starting or not. If you think you might be pregnant do not hesitate to take a pregnancy test.
Thank you 😊 Alison it finally came. I think it was a side effect from the birth control meds I take.
Hi there, I have been experiencing spotting every other week. This time the spotting is red but not bright red. Can advise?
Hi Ying, spotting outside of regular periods is not normal, see your gynecologist as soon as you can.
Hi. I am a bit of paranoid already cos I am not sure if am pregnant or not. I had sex with my boyfriend around last week of november 2016. My period was supposed to be on the 1st week of december (4-6) but it came later than the usual. I had it on december 15. It was like every normal period I had throughout the entire year. This month, i still havnt got my period and I’ve had spotting for maybe a week now. Spotting’s not light. It’s brown or darkish brown in color and sometimes there’s even blood with it. I’ve had occassional headaches. And I dont know if I am a bit dizzy or what. I am going crazy because I am not prepared to have a baby yet. It’s driving me crazy. And I need answers. And help. Please.
Hi Casie, sorry to hear this, the only way to know if you’re pregnant (which I would check in your case) is to take a pregnancy test.
Hi Alison!! I really appreciate your reply. I took the pregnancy test yesterday and it came out negative. Last night i’ve also had a lot of blood discharger, it even passed through my pants. But it wasn’t yet my period cos there’s nothing today. But it was kinda lot of blood for just spotting. What do you think? :((
Hi Casie, I think you should see your doctor as soon as you can. All the best.
