Why is near some blood surrounded by my CM? Ovulation spotting?

Well, my period started on the 31st of last month, and later seemed to stop completely on the 2nd (but got for a moment heavy again and had some spotting on the 3rd and 4th). My boyfriend and I have sex (with a condom, mind you, so this isn't an am-I-pregnant question) on the 2nd and 3rd. After that, I dried all up down there, which is average. Well, I've started watching what I eat and exercising a little, and today I run with my dog (but nothing out of the ordinary). Just nearly 10 minutes ago, I had more diarrhea (sorry TMI) and I think that's from varying my diet, but when I happened to glance down, within was a long, stretchy strand of pinkish CM hanging from my vaginal pipe, and it was VERY stretchy. When I wiped, in that was a little bit of red blood mixed contained by with the CM. This has never happen before. Do you think it's from exercising? Or could this be ovulation spotting? My bf and I haven't have sex since the 4th, so it can't be from that. Should I be worried?


Answers:    There are a couple of thoughts on what causes ovulation spotting. Some people believe that the lighting spotting is a result of the egg rupturing through the follicle during ovulation. It is thought that as the egg bursts from the follicle that a little bleeding may occur. This is why some women may interest brown/pink spotting, which is generally an indicator of older blood, around the time they ovulate. The blood may turn brown as it exits the body.

The other possible explanation for ovulation spotting is that the spotting is a result of a woman’s varying hormones during ovulation. As a woman’s body prepares to ovulate, follicles will start to grow and mature. As they mature they produce more estrogen. This increase contained by estrogen triggers a surge in LH, another hormone involved in ovulation. When LH surges it signals the seasoned egg to burst from the follicle. Estrogen rises sharply right before a woman ovulates and it is thought that the increase in estrogen level may cause light spotting to materialize.

I experienced this once or twice in the past and asked my doctor give or take a few it as I was concerned, he said not to worry as it happen to some women and it is quite rare for it to occur, but it just means that you are really fertile at that moment and if wanting to conceive that would be the foolproof time. If not wanting to conceive, he said to use protection such as condoms. I would recommend that if you have any concerns that you consult with your doctor for further evaluation and peace of mind should you craving.

Good luck :).
