So i just discovered this is a thing and wondered if others experience it. I did not have it my last 2 cycles.
Does the bleeding mean I am already ovulating or that i am about to?
I am on CD 17. My follicles were shitty on CD 14 when i had my ultrasound. Only growing follicle stalled out between days 12 and 14. We had sex on 14 and 16, will do it one last time tomorrow.
I sent a message to the nurse at the RE and they wrote back that it does happen and it's nothing to be concerned about. I am going in next Wednesday to have my progesterone drawn to see if I did end up ovulating this cycle.
I had what I thought was ovulation bleeding last cycle, but it didn't stop after a few days, it just changed color. I ended up spotting for 9 days and then 5 days of AF. My spotting started the day after O. I called my doctor because I am 2 months post-laparoscopy and wanted to know if this was still normal. She had me come in for an office visit and checked my progesterone. Progesterone came back 9.7 and was drawn 8DPO, so normal and shows I did ovulate. She thought my bleeding was completely unrelated to ovulation, just weird timing but that everyone is different and it can happen any cycle. I hope your follicles improved and good luck with your progesterone draw!
Ovulation pain and bleeding do occur, although not with all women. I've never experienced it, so I can't say much about it. But I'm glad your doctor responded. Good luck with the progesterone draw!
