Bleeding on cycle day 10

39 replies

I'm so confused and have never had this before.

I'm on cycle day 10 and have just had some blood when wiping. It's bright red, definitely not old blood. My period typically lasts only 4 days and has been gone for a good 5/6 days so I'm sure it's not a remnant from that.
What else could it be?

We are ttc and have only so far had sex on Monday, cd8, and I took a opk yesterday which was negative. My cycle is typically 25 days long.
I have never ever ever before had bleeding mid cycle. I don't know if I should be concerned?

Thanks I will do. It's completely stopped now though Confused
Just a quick question, a faint line on an opk is negative right?

I certainly would recommend getting an appointment in 2 weeks, that way if something is wrong it can hopefully be sorted earlier. As you are also ttc, it might help in checking out that everything is ok as a bonus. Don't panic, it could be something simple.

Oh bugger. I hate going to the docs. 2 week wait unless it's an "emergency" which I wouldn't have thought this would be classed as.

I am a little bit concerned about how long it is taking us to conceive. We are trying for no 2 and I'm not getting any younger so I was planning to make an appointment in the next couple of months if nothing happens. But I guess if this could signify a problem with my fertility I had better go sooner.

Definitely go to the doctor about any mid-cycle bleeding. Just to be safe.

Sorry that should say it was like period blood

It was definitely from my vagina, or was like period blood, and soaked a fair amount of the tissue when I wiped, but just the once. I have had a tiny bit of brownish tinged cm last night and this morning. I have very slight cramping today too.
I'm sure it wasn't abrasion from sex, it was a very tame quicky!

Could there have been a slight abrasion from sex the other night?

Is the any possibility you wiped your bum not just your vagina and it's from your back passage?

What sort of volume of blood are you talking about?

If it was a lot then best at least get checked. If it was little amount then see if it happens again. Did you have any tummy ache with it?

Do you think? It's stopped now, it was just one time when I went to the loo.

Oh I've not heard of cervical ectropian. I've just had a quick google though and am still none the wiser!
I've had a smear since having dc1 (who is now 2) so I assume if there was anything wrong with my cervix it would have been picked up.
My cycles do appear to be shorter since having him though. Don't know if that's linked at all.

Hi there
I've had exactly the same this month! I have a cervical ectropian so think it's linked but not 100% sure! I've had it since falling pregnant with DC1 and only this month had bleeding with it.
