What does the bleeding at ovulation? Before we know it, let's see what it is to ovulate. The ovulation of a woman is when a mature ovum is released from the ovary and it is pushed through the fallopian tubes because it can be fertilized in case of sexual intercourse and the sperm reaches its goal. This occurs approximately every month according to the menstrual cycle of each woman, which usually lasts between 24 and 42 days.
The lining of the uterus also prepares while waiting for the mature egg to be fertilized.. If conception does not occur, then the egg will shed along with the lining of the uterus. When the unfertilized ovum is detached and the uterine wall is when menstruation appears in women.
If you are trying to get pregnant, you will need to monitor your menstrual cycles so that you can know what your fertile days are. But sometimes there may be bleeding during ovulation, but before addressing this topic, it is convenient that you know other interesting facts about ovulation.
Facts to consider about ovulation
Surely these data seem very interesting to you:
- An egg lives 12 to 24 hours after it leaves the ovary.
- Normally only one egg is released at any one time of ovulation.
- A normal ovulation can be affected by the stress that the woman may suffer, by an illness or for another reason, such as being overweight or underweight.
- Implantation of a fertilized egg normally develops between 6 and 12 days after ovulation.
- Each woman is born with millions of immature eggs that are waiting for ovulation to begin maturing.
- The rule can occur even if there has been no ovulation.
- Some women may experience menstrual pain at ovulation.
- If the egg is not fertilized, it disintegrates.
- Some women may experience a little blood or spotting during ovulation.
Bleeding at ovulation
Some women may experience a slight vaginal bleeding during ovulationThis usually occurs midway between periods and does not have to be a red flag. It may be surprising at first because it is like having an “extra” period for some of the women who have it.
Many women often think that it is bleeding during ovulation, but in reality this spotting usually occurs just before ovulation since women's estrogen level drops, and this is totally normal in the menstrual cycle.
Estrogens and bleeding
During a woman's menstrual period the level of estrogen in the body is stable, when bleeding stops estrogen begins to rise slowly and the lining of the uterus begins to thicken its walls in preparation for ovulation. At the same time, the hormones will make one of the two ovaries ready to release the egg.
In this period, the estrogen level rises more rapidly just before ovulation, which is when the ovum leaves the ovary, but just as it rises rapidly, it also decreases, although the estrogen level will continue to be higher than at the time of the initial rise. . After ovulation, estrogens rise again again a little and later, if the ovum has not been fertilized, it falls back to its normal levels.
Bleeding in the middle of ovulation
Menstrual bleeding or menstruation occurs during the second drop in estrogen, but in some women, however, the first drop in estrogen can lead to bleeding, something that will cause the woman to bleed between periods and is of no importance, because this bleeding or "pre-period" is usually in the middle of the cycle, brief and mild.
Advantages of bleeding in ovulation
This bleeding can be advantageous if you want to get pregnant, because since it is in the middle of the cycle of each month, you will be able to know exactly when you are going to ovulate. You can consult your doctor to make sure that this bleeding does not have a more serious cause.
Thus, if you do not have anything serious that is causing you to bleed and it is a natural process of ovulation and estrogen levels, then you can plan sexual intercourse just before ovulation (just when you bleed or just when you finish) because this is how you can increase the chances of getting pregnant.
Other reasons that can cause bleeding at ovulation
In addition to everything discussed so far, bleeding during ovulation can also be due to other causes that you should know about.
Birth control pills
Birth control pills can cause bleeding for the first few months of taking them, but they can also any other contraceptive method that has to do with hormones. If the bleeding did not disappear, you would have to consult your doctor and change to a different contraceptive method.
If you stop the hormonal method you can suffer intermittent bleeding until menstruation is regularized. Also do not hesitate to consult your doctor if this happens.
Uterine fibroids
Fibroids are non-cancerous tumors that can appear anywhere on the uterine wall. These affect the inside of the uterus and for this reason bleeding may appear between periods. Larger or bothersome fibroids can often be removed surgically.
Uterine polyps
Polyps are growths on the inner surface of the uterus that can cause irregular bleeding. These polyps like fibroids can also be removed.
Hormonal imbalance
If you have normal periods you will not have bleeding but if your cycle is irregular, it is likely that you may have bleeding during ovulation.
Some medications or treatments
There are some medications that, even if prescribed by the doctor, can affect the menstrual cycle and cause bleeding during ovulation. Other possibilities may include: IUD use, thyroid problems, vaginal infections, or other more serious problems or illnesses.
When should you go to the doctor?
Whenever you notice unusual vaginal bleeding You should go to your doctor to rule out that you are suffering from some kind of problem. Most of the time the bleeding will have a simpler explanation and most likely it will disappear on its own just as it appears. But, just in case it had a more serious origin you should see your doctor whenever you have bleeding or feel some kind of pain that is not normal.

Hello at the end of having relations with my husband I have bled and I am ovulating. This for me is the first time that happens. 1 month ago I had thyroid surgery. Can you explain to me what happens? If we are looking for baby. Should I go to my doctor?
Well, no idea, but it happened to me anyway. How have you been?
Hello Camila
The same thing is happening to me this is the second time last month I noticed a spot on the 9th and this month on the 5th day after my menstruation ended a slight spot appeared but now with today there are already 3 days with a spot with a slightly thick frujo.
If anyone knows what happens to this or has happened before, tell me.
Hello, I have had a dark ovulation for three months and yesterday next to ovulation I had a little bleeding but nothing hurts, my mother has fibroids, is that genetic? It should be noted that my menstruation is normal and regular.
There was no bleeding but for a while, that is, two months ago, if it wasn't like that before, it's when I'm ovulating I don't feel pain but I'm scared by the bleeding
It is the first time that it happens to me, I am on the 14th day of my last menstruation, and today I saw a spot of blood and I said it can't be? So soon, and I counted the days and it is exactly on my ovulation day, I want to believe that this is what caused the bleeding!
I have that bleeding, I consulted with my gynecologist and she told me that since I have a regular period it is normal and healthy bleeding. It lasts for 1 or 2 days and it doesn't stain my pants, I don't have pain either. I write this to tell my experience, in case a woman has doubts
Hello Angie, I have a regular period, and on the 12th day of my cycle I stained like viscozo and with blood, but it was only that time and it did not happen again that was 2 days ago. Did the bleeding last two days? but scarce?
Great Maria, you tested positive and you got pregnant. Something similar happened to me for the first time, on day 14 of the cycle right at ovulation. With my husband we found out during the relationship and he gave us a substitute. Just a spot that does not look like the cycle. A droplet that fell with the slimy texture like egg white is the discharge during ovulation. I'm checking myself today but it barely changed color. We are also looking for a baby and I have not become pregnant. My studies are normal and I never took contraceptives. We have been searching for 3 years and I am getting more and more anxious. Now that I am on vacation I no longer feel stressed and I am calmer. But hey, we hope it is nothing bad and that our wish is fulfilled. Would be wonderful.
Hello Leticia, did you get pregnant?
I have never had that type of bleeding until today the 13th day of my cycle I have started to stain, but I also have to say that last month I stopped taking omifin I was only two months of treatment this was going to be the third but I decided to stop taking it Because I get out of control in all the cycles when I was always regular, with omifin the first month lasted 32 days and the second 22 and this one that I have not taken suddenly after 9 days of rule I stain again on the 13th, I do not know what think, I was fine two months ago ovaries fine, no cyst ... could it be ovulation bleeding? Or will I have something else?
After the loss of my baby I noticed that during my ovulation and I still don't know why this happens every month after the loss of my baby I was only 5 weeks pregnant and the truth is I wanted to get pregnant but I could not maybe that's why but I don't know if I didn't lose my baby already next March.
I'm looking for a baby, I had sex with my husband on June 2 and then on June 6, when I was obulating, according to my date, which I checked on the internet calculator, I was dropping mucus like egg white, but I had a little blood and I also felt pains like period but less intense you think you may be pregnant
Hello Angie, I have a regular period, and on the 12th day of my cycle I stained like viscozo and with blood, but it was only that time and it did not happen again that was 2 days ago. Did the bleeding last two days? but scarce?
Maria, it's good that it wasn't bad and the pregnancy test gave you positive !!! The same happened to me on ovulation day 14 (yesterday) in the middle of the cycle. Just a little spot but I'm checking myself to see if 2 days go by. I have no flow on top. It is a slimy spot like when it is the day of ovulation like egg white. It was during sexual intercourse that we found out with my husband and got a little scared. As we are looking for a baby and I was just in the prime of my fertile days. I hope it's nothing.
Hello everybody! First time that happens to me. I am in full ovulation and started to bleed as if I was having my period again. I've been there for three days and it hasn't stopped. It is not much and there is no pain but it started out brown and is now red. I have 14 days left for my rule in theory but I don't know whether to count this as a rule. I was in fertility treatment and I am on a month off. I don't know if hormones are doing this. If someone can give me an answer please. Thanks.

I had a similar bleeding in the middle of my cycle, at exactly 14 days, the first day it was a bleeding between brown, deep red and then pink and the second day I stained very little pink ... it was actually very rare. But I am already 20 days late and I have already done 3 pregnancy tests and they have all come back negative. I do not know what is happening. From time to time they have given me a slight pain in my stomach as if my menstruation were going to drop but nothing at all ...

Hello everybody! The same thing is happening to me with the bleeding, my ovulation day lowers that slight bleeding and I have pain as if it were going to come. Reading all this I see that it is normal. I am very regular with my period, that is great but I am desperate looking for a baby and I am not lucky enough to stay, I get sad every month
I am missing a horn but afterwards my check-ups and studies come out perfect. Could someone give me some advice to be able to stay please. ?
Hello to me, it is happening to me the same two days after my ovulation, I have a brown discharge but I have strong colic, I am a little scared because this has never happened to me. Like I've been looking for a baby for a long time
I am just as desperate looking for a baby, there are months that this bleeding appears and others not, sometimes it comes down two or three days before my period, other times in the ovulation period. I am totally clueless. Please help!!
Hello good night, it happens to me as the article says here. I was super scared about it. Today is just my 14th and I had very light bleeding in the morning. These two months have already passed me by. I went to the doctor a week ago, he sent me duphaston and he told me that he will do it on November 3 for 10 days that on the 11th I would get a normal period. And on day 3 of the period I did tests for estradiol and fsh. I was very confused with this bleeding today I thought it was my period again as it happened last month. Can I then take that medicine and then the tests as the doctor told me ??! Help with that question please
Juston my period is over, it lasts (6 days) but it only happened 3 days and it came back again and it does not last 1 or 2 days it lasts 6 and it is an abundant bleeding. Can someone tell me why?
hello, I am currently ovulating, I have clear discharge but then I have had brown spots with a little not strong pink bleeding and pain that occurs in ovulation, even so; I have sex with my husband because we are looking for a baby, will it be possible to get pregnant since I am in my fertile days and I am staining?
Hi Juli,
It happened to me like this two years ago, like two months in a row, then it took off like a whole year and it happened again last year, the same as two or three months in a row, (it is a discharge like egg white with spots of brown color and at one point a spot of red blood). Well it disappeared again and just now it happened to me again last month, but this time I had sex the same day that I had the red spot, and three days ago I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. 🙂
Natty just relaxing
I know it is not easy and that you have heard it before but you must be calm and without stress so that your body is not blocked and you can get pregnant.
Get to know yourself more, not only to know what it is you like or not, also to know what eats you, what things make you go crazy or sad, what makes you happy, what makes you up. Do new things; exercise you fed better, nourish your body more (there you will take care of your baby, life will go there, so you have to prepare and take care of the body before the baby arrives to pamper it when it is)
Take care of yourself more, so you also get out of that Stress and Anxiety in which one stays and does not help.
I wish you the best and that that baby reaches your arms.
A hug ?
(I know the message already has time but I hope it serves you)
Hello, about a year ago like most of you I spotted one or two days during my ovulation or the day of my ovulation. A few months ago I started a treatment for depression and I have had some changes in my periods, I am only 23 years old and I am a virgin so I assume that the changes I have had are, either due to antidepressants or due to a hormonal change, I have a healthy weight , no chronic disease and I eat very well and I also exercise, is it so strange because this month I have been spotting for more than 7 days? and the truth is that it worries me, and I think I'll see the doctor who treats me for depression to see if he knows if it's the medication that has caused this, and I'll tell them. Search the internet and it is true that antidepressants affect the menstrual cycle, in fact I have a friend whose period disappeared due to these medications, but my mother had fibroids, which I suppose are the same as fibroids but it is rare because she had them quite as an adult? I just hope it's nothing serious?
