Ovulation bleeding?

I saw my family doctor for another issue last week but I mentioned to her that I've been having sort of irregular periods lately. My PMS is back to being awful, with horrible cramps and diarrhea before/during my period and really sharp pains 24hrs prior to starting. Then out of the blue the last 3 months or so a week or so afterwards I start bleeding again, its mostly light but I've never been irregular like this before so it freaked me out. She says she is sure its ovulation bleeding but I've never had it happen before, just curious if this is "normal" for anyone else?

Ovulation bleeding only occurs for 1-2 days and should be really light, like spotting. So if it's worse than that, I suggest you talk to your doctor again. You might have problems like endometriosis, fibroids, etc, but unless your doctor actually looks into these things, she's not doing anything to help you.
