Q: Bleeding during ovulation?

asked by: DoctorQuestion on February 12th, 2007

my husband and i are trying to have a baby. I was on the pill on and off for years but have been off for 4 months now and have had regular periods since.I am due for my period on feb 25 but i have a strange light bleeding for a day so far. I am not due for 14 days and my period has been finished for 9 days. Is it possible to bleed 2 days after ovulating.

Bleeding during ovulation is possible in some women. Ovulatory bleeding is a slight and
temporary functional bleeding from the uterus due to the temporary drop in estrogen hormone levels.

It is not certain, however, that the bleeding you are experiencing is ovulatory bleeding. You can visit your gynecologist to check if there is an organic cause for the bleeding (infection or tumor).
