| Hey guys. TTC for a few months now and I've noticed for the past few cycles that I spot right before I ovulate (I'm charting). Is this normal? I've been on the pill so long (15 yrs) I have no idea if this is ok or not. Thanks. |

| I don't think this is normal. May be your hormones are off. Definitely call your doctor and ask. |

| Is it pink spotting that shows up with cervical mucus? If so, then it is totally normal and can actually be a positive fertility sign. The theory is the spotting is either related to the release of the follicle or can come from a change in your estrogen level, which occurs naturally at ovulation. Either way, it is fine. If it is red, then I would check with your doc. |

| 13:34 is way off. Some women always spot during ovulation, and it is a secondary fertility sign. What constitutes "spotting" is different for everyone - could be like 14:49 describes as just a tinge of pink, or could be redder. Everyone's different. If you're worried about it, call your dr. |

| OP here. Thanks for your responses. It's consistently a light brownish/slightly pink color. Some months heavier than others. I think I will ask my doc if the BFN continue for the next two cycles. |

Op - DId you have sex recently? (no need to answer - just something to ask yourself...I know it's a personal question). Sometimes the penetration will rupture and tear the tiny blood vessels (which are swollen and full during sex) in the vaginal cavity. If the red/pink tinge lasts several days (and becomess more obvious) and there are discomforts like cramps, pain, etc. then it could indicate a ruptured follicle. Def. call your doc. then. |

I just came here tonpost this same question. I am on cd14 and had really sharp o pains yesterday and I spotted this morning when I wiped. Temps have not confirmed ovulation but I am pretty sure this is what it is. I wanted to know if it was a before or after O sign
