for the past two cycles i have had 2-3 days of light spotting about 5 days prior to ovulation....what the heck is this?????

Hmmm, I was trying to find an answer in TCOYF and the only thing I could come up with is either you O'd then and it's midcycle bleeding or it's still your period.

Other than that it says to seek medical attention if bleeding occurs. This is what it says:

If however, the spotting lasts more than a couple days, is bright red, or you notice spotting at other timed in the cycle that do not coincide with ovulation or the approach of AF, it could be an indication of a problem requiring medical attention.

Is this normal for you, or is the first time you've noticed something like this? It could just be a fluke cycle.

thanks erika - i hope its nothing, probably is nothing - as long as it doesn't interfere with ttc.....but now it will give something else to obsess and worry about....

Do you have your chart on-line? Is it possible you ovulate and then have a gradual temp rise?

Also -- does the bleeding coincide with GIO (getting it on)? Your cervix could be sensitive, is what I'm thinking...

Hope you figure this out -- I would personally ask an Ob-Gyn (you can call a help-line nurse, too, if they have one in your area -- that would be free.)
