Dr. Bernard Rosenfeld answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Ovulation spotting: This is called ovulation spotting. It is a normal occurrence. Its cause has not been precisely determined. It is thought that it could be from the surge in hormones or from the rupture of the follicle that releases the egg. It is likely a normal occurrence in women of reproductive age.
