Hi there, sakendr,

You may be experiencing mid-cycle bleeding or spotting during ovulation-- which can last anywhere from 4 hours to 1-2 days but should not be heavy bleeding.

  • The bleeding may be a result of temporary withdrawal of estrogen at the time of ovulation. This causes the endometrium to shrink a little and cause bleeding. It is more common when the pelvic organs are congested with blood.
  • If you begin to experience heavy bleeding, please contact your physician.

    All the best,

    Rosa
