Light bleeding within one week of ovulation

  • Hi there, my name is Sarah and I have been trying for a baby for two months now. Over the past year I have managed to lose 2.5 stone and now weigh 17.5 stone, still improving my health.
    My question today is, I have had some light bleeding, only when I wipe after going to the ladies room, this is around one week after my ovulation date and my husband and I have been actively trying to get pregnant. I visited my doctor today and he said it may be hormonal, but I didn't mention to him that we'd been trying.
    Have any other ladies on here experienced the same or do you have any other suggestions?
  • It could be hormones or it could be implantation bleeding. There's really no way to know until you are able to test.

    I haven't had implantation bleeding myself, but it is common and some of my friends have.

    Good luck!
  • wait a couple weeks to test. It could be anything, like Zenor77 said.
    I've had delayed af with spotting that ended with an af. I've also had implantation bleeding with #3. Try not to stress over it and test in two weeks.
  • I'm just curious, did your doctor say more specifically what the "hormonal" problem could be? Or did he just say "It could be hormonal" ?

    Meaning, could a hormonal change be brought about with change in the diet and weight loss causing one to have sporadic bleeding?

    And btw, sorry, but I cannot help you with your problem I don't know. I will cross my fingers for the best.
  • He only said it may be hormonal, but he has refered me for a smear in 4 weeks time. Whilst I was there though I did forget to mention that we were actively trying.
  • It could def. be implantation spotting sounds like what I had with my first. Wait a couple weeks and poas!
