A member asked:

Bright red spotting on cd 15 and 16 with strong onesided cramps. could this be ovulation or light period after stopping pill 2 months ago?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be: Yes it could be. It would not be unusual to ovualte those days if you have a slightly longer cycle, and some women will spot midcycle from the hormone change.
