Light bleeding spotting (along w/ white mucus) during ovulation, is this normal? what is the cause of it? (i am not pregnant only nursing 1 yr. old)

Ovulating: That white mucus is a pretty good sign that despite breastfeeding, you are fertile and can get pregnant. The breast feeding may be thinning your lining, making it unstable, so you are having ovulatory spotting. If you don't want to get pregnant, make sure you use contraception. Breast feeding, you may use specific birth control pills, any from of IUD and the Nexplanon. Take prenatal vitamins.

Your hormones are: in fluc, with both estrogen and progesterone being regulated by your body to get back to normal cycle. During ovulation you can have increase in endometrial thickness (lining of your uterus) and cervical mucus, so some bleeding and mucosy discharge may not be entirely abnormal. However this same process occurs during early pregnancy (except the bleeding). Are you sure you are not pregnant?
