I've never had mid-cycle bleeding before, I'm day 21 of my cycle and had some this morning. It wasn't very much, few wipes of the toilet paper and quite watery - not like normal blood itms.
What are the reasons for it? I'm on a 29/30 day cycle at the moment and ovulate regularly on day 14.
Worried that there might be something wrong with my hormone levels?
are you on the pill? ire abyss other contraceptives? I've had mid cycle bleeding on the pill, implant and mirena. its not uncommon.
is there a possibility of pregnancy? could be implantation bleeding.
have you dtd ibm the last day or two? sometimes that can do it too.

Not sure if this will help, But I have had it happen a couple of cycles. Pretty much the same as you described..
Mine have been a bit closer to O day though.
We dtd last night. But it wasn't rough or anything, didn't hurt.
And we use condoms.
And now I've gone to the toilet and there is more blood?!
If it was next Saturday I would say it's AF but it's only day 21.
Eta - I just lost a clot...anyone???
AF might be early?
Sounds like an early start to a period. So, could be low estrogen or low progesterone or an early ovulation. Sometimes it can happen.
if its gotten heavy and is lime a period then I agree with l&b. I once had a random 18 day cycle when mine are usually 35+. it happens sometimes. I guess you'll know in the next few days if it goes for as long as af does usually

Thanks guys. I was freaking there.
I've always had a 28 day cycle (since I was 10!) so to have a 21 day one is foreign to me. I know I ovulated last Saturday, got really bad cramps whilst shopping and it was day 14 of my cycle, which is typical.
How weird...maybe it's my age!
It could be from something as innocent as weight loss? Or stress? Even spending a bunch of time with new females can affect your cycle as you sort of start to sync up? The body is an odd thing!
It doesn't sound like your AF if you ovulated a week ago. If your cycle is short it is due to a short follicular phase. Your luteal Phase doesn't shorten like that.
I definitely without a doubt ovulated a week ago.:
I don't hang out with many chicks, one is pregnant, the other hasn't had AF back yet from having a baby so it's not that unfortunately.
Maybe it's my hormone levels since I've been getting hot flushes lately and pimples...
Could be implantation :) I asked my FS about this once and he said there are so many reasons for mid cycle bleeds he isn't really interested in them unless you have a short LP.
could be also as you little one is dropping feeds
enough to screw your hormones around and could cause a big surge of hormones that kick AF on
The luteal phase can shorten. It's governed by progesterone, which is produced by the corpus luteum, which in turn was developed by a surge of estrogen. So, if, for example, the surge of estrogen was weak, though you may have ovulated, the corpus luteum wouldn't be strong enough to produce enough progesterone to sustain the lining. This can happen as egg quality diminishes. Or it can happen sometimes, just because. Just as sometimes you may have an anovulatory cycle.
I wouldn't worry about it unless it becomes a regular occurrence.
Thanks l & b
Hopefully it's a once off and not a sign of my increasing age (and diminishing fertility!)
