Is ovulation bleeding really a thing?

As the subject says really. Also has anyone had a BFP after this please?

It can happen but it's rare, research says 3% of women bleed at ovulation. Do you mean implantation bleeding? That's more common, around 30% of pregnancies start with implantation bleeding (according to Google!!!)

It shouldn't be implantation bleeding as only day 17 also have had ewcm the past couple of days.

I don't know what a BFP is! However, I had ovulation bleeding occasionally, just a spot or two. Never gave it much thought. Didn't have it every month.

I get ovulation bleeding. Sometimes a tiny steel of blood, sometimes like 2 days of light period. I got my ovaries etc checked to make sure that there wasn't anything sinister causing it, but they were all fine, so it's just one of those things.

Thanx I know there are no concerns as had a scan recently to check for any problems. Google is just quite vague

Implantation bleeding is quite normal. Just a tiny little bit of pink / brown.

I've had ovulation spotting before and vomiting too! Also really bad ovulation pain.

Only as I was reducing breastfeeding and my body was trying to get back to normal though. It's a lot of work for your body at that time I think and a bit of a shock to the system.
