Bleeding Just After Ovulation

[TheBananaStand]

Hi all, I've never posted before so apologies if this question has been covered before. Also, sorry if it's all a bit TMI...

This is our fourth month ttc, and last month was a little strange. I had faint positives on 13 and 14 dpo on pound shop tests then on 15 dpo I woke up to a really quite heavy period.

So we tried again this month and dtd on cds 12, 13 and 15. I had positive opks on cds 15 and 16 then some bleeding on cd 17 (this was brown and pink and more than just spotting but went after a few wipes) and more bleeding today, cd 19 (which was red again, more than just spotting but I don't think quite as much as the first day of AF).

After the blood on cd 17 I did some googling and hoped it may be ovulation bleeding, but today I did a bit of heavy lifting and I'm worried that this has affected things...I'm also wondering if last month could have been a chemical pregnancy and if that's thrown things out.

Sorry for the essay; any wisdom would be really appreciated!

Just to follow up on this, I got my BFP this morning!

I'm still spotting a very slight amount of brown blood, and have been for a full week past ovulation, so I couldn't believe when the tests were positive today (9 or 10 dpo).

I tested this morning thinking there was no chance but my pound shop cheapie showed a clear, strong line immediately. I tested with a clear blue plus and got positive straight away.

I really hope it sticks! Do you think I should be worried about the spotting?

Fantastic news banana!

Sounds like implantation bleeding!
Keep your fingers crossed for me.. 10 mths tring...

Sounds like you had a chemical pregnancy last month.

Don't think you have anything to worry about but just make your GP appointment x

Aw, thanks very much, Fizz!

All digits firmly crossed for you!

Hi there,

To be honest, if seems strange for you to get such strong bfps so early after ovulation. At 10dpo I think they would normally be very faint. So I wonder whether you ovd earlier than you think or even whether last month wasn't a chemical pregnancy. Or even, whether you may have been carrying twins and lost one... you can get a positive opk when you're pregnant. So it may be worth a trip to the GP.

But sounds like you're definitely pg either way so congratulations!!!!

Hey Katniss, thanks a lot and thanks for the suggestion, I kind of wondered if this could be a possibility. I did only do opk tests on those two days and got a positive each day.

I can't stop manically doing tests cos I don't believe them! Did another this morning and again, strong and clear immediately.

I have to wait until Thursday to see my GP so I might try a clear blue digi to see how many weeks along it says I am.

Congratulations!!!!!!!! X

Hi I'm not sure if anyone uses this thread anymore cause it's been over a year but I have been spotting light pinkish just after ovulation. According to my charts I ovulated yesterday , we dtd 2 days and 6 days after my period ended and yet again yesterday so this spotting is strange period due in 2wks

Hi Dessiehipefully1

How did you get on? I’m experiencing the same thing this month but also after a 13 day long period

Hi teeny3 actually I'm experiencing spotting again and I am 9dpo it's same pinkish discharge but hoping it's our time now, along with cramps so fx for bfp.

My af is due for the 16th or 17th so I just hope she doesn't show I plan to test on the 12th that's hubby birthday would love to surprise him with our fourth...
