I've been experiencing light bleeding for 5 days mid cycle with some abdominal pain. I'm freaking out a bit as I've just had a big clot. Like 1.5 cm by 3 cm (ish I didn't measure) I don't know if I should actually be worried about this or if I'm just being a bit dramatic I felt shocked to see it. So a bit of an AIBU.
The pain was on my right side where I normally get ovulation pain if it's that side's turn! The pain doesn't get worse to touch. This has eased off now though.
The bleeding was a bit clotty but still light to start with if that makes any sense. Then became a bloody discharge but has become slightly worse this again. My periods are heavy but regular 28 / 30 day cycle I've never had mid cycle bleeding before. I do get a bit of ovulation pain each month but never bleeding or ongoing pain.
I'm otherwise feeling OK. I did an ovulation test and it says I'm ovulating which seems right as I'm day 16 of my cycle today. (I track on clue app). Did a pregnancy test which was negative.
Should I be worried about this?
I wondered if anyone had experienced ovulation bleeding before? Or maybe had bleeding like this with something else? I'm reluctant to Google because I'm afraid it will be a cancer symptom. So any help would be appreciated. Thanks
