Anyone else spot/bleed during O?
| Thu, 10-04-2007 - 9:20pm |
Ok, my LMP was September 2. I was on BC for only a week the August and got my regular AF in September as stated above. I have really irregular AF's hence why I was on BC but it made me too sick. So my bf and I have been using no protection whatsoever. I have been keeping track of my AF's for over a year on mymonthlycycles.com and according to it my next MP is due Oct 13 and I was to O about Oct 3rd. Well, bf and I BD'd on CD's 12,15,21,29 and 31. Anyways, on CD 29 I started spotting/lightly bleeding...I general do around when I O. Usually it is 3-5 days of spotting/light bleeding. Anyone else prone to this? Think since we BD'd the day it started and then 2 days later maybe there is a chance? I was also wondering if you O on the day it starts or mid spotting or the end? I had a stringy like clot this time which is abnormal for my O time and the bleeding was still light but heavier than the norm and it has basically stopped today but I am cramping again now. Any thoughts?


I don't really know as I don't spot when I O.
OK, so I googled, and this is what I found:
Spotting that occurs in the middle of your cycle or spotting that occurs some ten to fourteen days prior to the start of the next cycle is normal too. This spotting may occur during ovulation. Seeing a spot of blood during ovulation is considered an excellent fertility sign. It is thought that mid-cycle spotting occurs for one of two reasons. First reason is possibly that when the egg bursts through the follicle, a little bleeding may occur. This blood will then make its way out and show up as “spotting”. Or, during ovulation, the level of estrogens rise, and this sometimes prompts the uterus to shed a bit of lining, which shows up in the form of “spotting.” Spotting that occurs about a week before the cycle is due – and only lasts for less than one day – is possibly considered implantation spotting. This happens as a result of the fertilized egg burrowing into the uterine lining. Or another reason for seeing implantation spotting may be due to a slight rise in estrogen and drop in progesterone before the corpus luteum takes over the production of progesterone. The corpus luteum takes over the production when the implanted fertilized egg signals the body that pregnancy has occurred and that the lining must be maintained. Keep in mind that spotting that continues for days is not implantation spotting.
