Anyone here ever have cramps and slight spotting after ovulation for at least a week, and it turned out that they were NOT pregnant? If so, what was the cause of the cramps and spotting?

THANKS

I had that last cycle and my Dr. siad it is due to hormonal changes and stress of TTC. My Dr. was not too worried about it. (Mine was not only spotting but very light color bleeding x4days and spotting for 3 days). Sometimes you get it sometimes you don't. This only happened to me twice this year.

It could be a number of things really. Could be implanation bleeding, low progesterone, or if you just came off the pill, it could be your body getting back to normal. If it continues into another cycle, contact your OB/GYN and ask if they can help you figure it out. Good luck.
