Bleeding 5 days after ovulation is this normal?

Not possible.: Ovulation is the release of a matured egg from the ovarian follicle into the oviduct. It usually happens on the 14th day of a regular menstrual cycle of 28 days. Ovulation may vary from 8.2 to 20.5 days, depending on the length of cycle. The ovulation date can be calculated by subtracting the total duration of cycle from 14. So, bleeding should occur 14 days & not 5 days after ovulation. Thanks.

Maybe: A little spotting occasionally around the time of ovulation can be normal, however heavy bleeding or spotting every month should be evaluated by your gynecologist.
