Ovulation bleeding?
Posted: Thu Apr 18, 2024 3:47 pm
Hello!
I have a question about ovulation bleeding. So, according to my calendar, yesterday was supposed to be my ovulation day. I know period trackers aren't always accurate about that, but sometimes I have some brown/light pink spotting around my calendar ovulation dates, so I believe it's at least in the right ballpark.
So about 10 minutes ago I finished masturbating. As I went to wash my hands, I saw some brown discharge, so I assumed it was my regular ovulation stuff. However, I also noticed a small clump of bright red blood on my fingers. A little concerned, I sat down to wipe, just to check the discharge since it didn't look normal. The first time I wiped, a HUGE dark lump of blood was on the paper (almost black) surrounded by bright red blood.
I was a bit freaked out at that point since I never had spotting that dark during ovulation, and plus it was really quite big. Usually, I would get - at most - some light brownish stains on my underwear and that's it.
After that first wipe, I wiped about 3 more times. The second wipe still had dark/bright red blood on it, and the last 2 got progressively lighter. The last one was a light orangey pink.
My main question is, does this sound normal to you? Should I be worried since I've never experienced clumps of dark red/black blood outside of my regular period?
And another question on the side, just in case. My partner (M) and I had sex on the 12th of April (so about a week ago). The condom seemed intact with no obvious holes, leakage or tears. Do you think there's a possibility of this being implantation bleeding? I don't know too much about it, so I'd rather ask just in case.
Thank you in advance for answering!
