It Doesnt Look Like Old Blood To Me

Hello,

i recently had intercourse on 6/30(last day of af) and 7/3, which both times were protected like always. Then on 7/5 i noticed(sorry for tmi) when i went to bathroom and wiped some blood on the tissue w/ a small amount of cm in my panty. i was kinda shocked by it and thought "okay, maybe its just old blood from last af". then i continued wipping another 4 times and still saw blood even though it was getting less and less. what freaked me out though was that it wasnt brown like how old blood would look after your af, but rather like a tomato color red, like fresh blood. I havent seen it since that one time on 7/5. I am supposedly suppose to be ovulating from 7/5-7/10 and i have been experiencing some light cramping in my lower abdomen that i always have during ovulation time. I think its just ovulation bleeding, but ive just never experienced this before so im kind of jittery. my cycles are normal and consistent. Its a normal 28 day cycle(give or take a day or two). Last month(June) it was only for 26 days, maybe that had something to do with the bleeding, who knows. Its just now ive been noticing this and it looked nothing like old blood and became concerned since i never saw it before. Im beginning to think its just mid-cycle bleeding since im suppose to be ovulating now. Just outta curiousity, wouldnt that be rather very very early to have any type of implantation bleeding? Thanks

Nicole

Hello,

Hmmmm, I am wondering something....did you notice the bleeding after sex? Sometimes I will have some spotting after sex...sometimes the next day.

Just curious.

No i didnt notice the blood after sex but more like 2 days after i did, on the same day that my fertile day supposedly started from 7/5-7/10. my cycle was only 26 days for the month of June when it is normally a 28 day cycle. my af last always for 6 days and i had intercourse(protected) on 6/30(CD 7; i consider it last day of AF) and 7/3(CD 10). i havent seen the spotting since then. my ovulation day is suppose to be today. I think it was just mid-cycle spotting i saw that couldve been due to having intercourse. thank you all for responding to my post. i'll keep you all posted.

****UPDATE****

Okay, now im kinda on the bit of worry wart side since all of a sudden today my nipples are sore and i saw more cm then i did yesterday(SORRY FOR TMI)and it was sticky yet thinner and more noticable then yesterday. i have also been having some sharp pains in my private area region on and off today. due to my calculations i should ovulated yesterday and my fertile period would be between 7/5-7/10. so you think i ovulated today maybe?

If some of you dont know my story already, here's how it goes:

I havent seen it since that one time on 7/5. I am supposedly suppose to have my fertile period from 7/5-7/10(ovulation on 7/9) and i have been experiencing some light cramping in my lower abdomen that i always have during ovulation time.my cycles are normal and consistent. Its a normal 28 day cycle(give or take a day or two). Last month(June) it was only for 26 days, maybe that had something to do with the bleeding, who knows.

Im beginning to think its just mid-cycle bleeding since im suppose to be ovulating now.

I dont think its a UTI since i havent had any burning sensations when i urinate and i only saw the blood once. Can anyone help me stop stessing and calm my nerves?

Thanks to though who have responded to me and sorry this may seem long.

Hi Nicole,
Just been reading through the posts. I'm thinking that maybe since you said you're supposed to have ovulated yesterday, maybe you were off by a day or so, and you might just be having pains from ovulation. Usually around ovulation you will notice a much thinner, sticky (almost like egg-whites) CM. This means your very fertile right now. And ovulation pains are common too. Sometimes I get that shap pain on one side of my pelvic area when I'm ovulating. That's just what it sounds like to me. Well, good luck and keep us posted...
