A member asked:

Just had positive ovulation test . today. but i am bleeding. what could be, happening?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Ovulation tests are just there to show a surge in LH (leutinizing hormone), which stays high enough for a positive test a few days after. This could be pregnancy related bleeding, so test. It could be breakthrough bleeding if mid cycle or its just your period and you tested beyond ovulation.

Dr Feola and another doctor agreed
