I've read that mid-cycle bleeding or ovulation bleeding could be caused by a lack of ovulation. Your doctor should be able to tell you if your ovulating. It also said it could be due to irritation to the cervix. Again your doctor should be able to help. Good luck.

Has anyone here ever thought of having a Chlamydia test? All these symptoms point this way as a possible cause for the problems.

I just can't believe how many women battle this issue. I am 27 , trying to get pregnant and no luck for me either. One person wrote why don't we just ask out Obgyns!! hahaha that person obviously doens't know that Ob's dont' give any reasonable answers. It took my doctor a year and a half to find out that I had a polyp that caused my first miscariage, the second time no one cared when I said I am pregnant and I have a very bad back pain which resultet in second miscariage. My problem was/is in some ways more severe than I could have imagined. This is my 4th year that I am dealing with this misterious bleeding. First 2 I was bleeding everyday. A day didn't go by that I haven't bled. Then 2 years later They find a polyp. I had my D&C and 6 months later bleeding is back. OB doesn't know the answer WHY? I am doing my reasearch on line everyday but I am at point where I just don't trust anyone anymore. No one seems to be open and sincere with this issue. No one can give us the right answers and it is not Ok to just brush someone off because of it.

I'm 20 and I'm having the same problem. Like many women above, it usually occurs after sex with my boyfriend. I started bleeding this month on Day 14 and has been for the past 2 periods. Last month, the bleeding was just spotting for 5 days but this month the flow is heavier, like a normal period and I had to use pads. I went to a doctor and she said maybe it's just some hormonal problem and that I'm still young and adjusting. 20 is still young?!?!?!
Fertility is not a problem for me as I have always thought kids are a chore (sorry for conceiving couples, but ya.. I don't like kids). But my bigger worry is more about cysts and cancer and other more serious problems. It's difficult to reach a diagnosis by the way, so I don't know whether I should see a doctor.

I am a holistic health practitioner, and have a suggestion. The symptoms listed on this forum would indicate to me the potential for an under-active thyroid condition. The way to test this hypothesis would be to try natural thyroid hormone, such as Armour or Westhroid, starting at a low dose. Here is the rub: a conventional doc would run a thyroid panel, and it may well come back as normal, so he will not prescribe. However, these tests simply do not detect a large proportion of hypothyroid conditions, so alternative docs prescribe the hormone based just on symptoms. The healing can be quite remarkable, and occur in a short time, even though the blood tests show as normal.
I wish you the best of health.

I have had a similar situation for about 8 years... This is the first time I am finding other ladies with the same issue. I have had 4 doctors in this time (due to moving) and no one has given me any info! I start spotting 7 days before my period with a couple of heavy bleeding days mixed in. I have had blood work and the thyroid levels are good as well as hormones?! I have been on progesterone supplementation/triggers/clomid just to see if that would help but nothing. I have had ultrasounds to look for any cysts/fibroids/etc and nothing yet. I have no answers! I am 33 and anxious to have a child now but have had no success with this!

I have been going through a similar pattern for the past 3 years (maybe more). I bleed between day 14-19 of my cycle, especially due sex. I have been to see a gynecologist and had treatment for an abrasion on the opening on my cervix, i have smears every 6 months and there has been no improvement and i have poly cystic ovaries. I am not on the pill at the moment and we are also trying for children. This month has been really bad and the bleeding is putting me off having sex- not good given that we are trying for a baby? .

This isn't an answer, just my story.
My cycle has never been regular, but since my first child was born last January, my period seems to come every 35-36 days. This past cycle it came on day 29. I've never had a variance of more than four days (other than the first six months after giving birth). The period itself was somewhat normal, though I had more light days (I'm usually light the first day, heavy for 5 days and then very light for 2-3 days). I only had about two heavy days (which was nice since the early appearance made my period last the entire time I was in Hawaii). %-)
Anyway, it's 5 days after my period ended and I've spontaneously started bleeding. My husband and I just started trying for our next child this week(or stopped trying not to, as the case would be). I considered intercourse as a cause, but I would have seen the blood before now if that were the cause. I usually feel ovulation; I get crampy and/or bloaty for a couple of days and then have sharp pain for a day or so. I've been feeling bloaty and crampy for about 3 days, though the cramping has gotten worse since the bleeding started, but that could be stress. Since my cycle is so off, I could reasonably be ovulating, but I've never bled with ovulation before. The only midcycle bleeding I've ever had was 1) when I took two rounds of birth control back to back to skip my period on our honeymoon, 2) when I had implantation bleeding with my daughter and 3) occasionally after intercourse. The only suspicious period I had was in September. I'm convinced I had a miscarriage, but my OB/GYN found no evidence and said it could have been or it could have just been normal post-pregnancy weirdness.

Hi, I was amazed by the similarities of the stories, and wonder if there is any point going to a doctor. :-(
I have noticed small streaky red and brown discharge a few days before my last period and today on ovulation time. I also noticed my fairly regular cycle I swear I ovulated 2 days before my period the sticky egg white then the light blood and shorter than normal period 3 days later.
They are asking women who get unusual bloating cramping back pain to check for ovarian cancer as they are seeing women who have it all had unusual cramping bloating a few years before being diagnosed.
As for the breakthrough bleeding there doesn seem to be answers.. I just had full blood check and everything is normal its been several months since I miscarried at 17 weeks..not sure if that has to do with it or not.
wish there was some answer..

i see why you worry i have the same problems and i did go to a community clinic but when it comes to these things i am shy, and at the doctors they don't seem to be friendly and welcoming, its hard for me to talk about concerns.... all they seem to say...YOU DON'T KNOW HOW BAD STRESS CAN CHANGE YOUR BODY FUNCTIONING, well its stressful when you cant put a end to these problems and better yet they cant tell you how to prevent this from reoccurring. Well anyways..it wasn't much help when i went because here i an=m again wondering what the hell is going on with me.. And my concern like yous is it cancer...

Hi, im so glad iv found you women, iv got the same thing,i had a smear test at the beggining of december, the nurse asked me when i was due on my period, and i told her in a fortnight, on the 15th of dec.
next day i came on, really heavy and crampy pains, i felt quite ill. i know this can happen sometimes after a smear so i didnt bother.
the day i was due my period originally, the 15th, i came on again.
i thought it was my body regulating itself. 2 wks after that period i got another 1, luckily the same day my smear came back normal.
but 2 wks after that 1,its happened this morning, i came on again, im really worried.
it all seems to be happening since the smear.
its a proper period that lasts for 5 days. im not in pain its just the same as a normal 1. i have noticed that it feels like it is coming from the left ovary not the right one.
deos anyone know what it is yet?
i have read that certain condition can be triggered by a smear, but iv read that many i cant find it, it was in the early days,
please can you women fill me on on the latest answers of what it is and what its not, iv got a lot of breast cancer in my family and i know certain conditions go hand in hand, pretty scared please reply.

ok so I was told to try concieveing about 3-5 days before ovulation, so I calculated and measured days and cervical mucus and had sex, but i was kinda dry ( it happened kinda fast ) so when I was done I layed there to let gravity so its duty
about 30 mins later I got up to go to the bathroom and i wa spotting, I figured I just got a little tear or something but today I had heavy red blood on my undies, I was so freaked... but its thinning now.
I dont know whats going on, and I have some slippery mucue now.
do you think I just got torn or could it be something else?

Hi,
I know all we keep reading are posts from women who have the same symptoms but it's nice to know you are not the only women going through this. I haven't been on birth control in almost three years. I'm 29 and got pregnant with my son at 25 two months after stopping the pill. Thought i wouldn't have any problems getting pregnant again but it hasn't happened. My gyno has done basic hormone tests and said they looked fine but it doesn't sound right. I have mid cycle bleeding (started 10 days but varies before my period) for awhile now. My period doesn't end for about 11 to 12 days(the first 4 days normal bleeding then i'll spot for around a week. I hope we find an answer to our problems but it's strange how most of us are trying to get pregnant......I hope a doctor looks at this and can give us some kind of hope. Good Luck ladies.

I am 21 years old and have had problems with such bleeding for about 3 years now.... My doctor gave me a DNC because he thought i may have had something on my lining that was causing the bleeding. When they did the procedure they didnt find anything that was abnormal and the bleeding still continued. I became really frustrated.. then my doctor tried to explain to me that I may have hypothyroidism. This basically means that you have a hormonal imbalance in your body that is causing the lining of your uterus to shed at different times of your cycle due to low estrogen levels. Believe it or not its all about the estrogen... this is usually why people take birth control to maintian their hormone levels. Even the slightest mess up with your pills can cause this to occur. If you have been on birth control for a long time and are now off, trying to get pregnant expect this to happen because your hormone levels have been (trained) for so long. Ive been told you can still get pregnant when this bleeding is occurring... it is a very frustrating experience however it just takes time... always keep in mind that healthy eating and exercise are very important.
