A member asked:

I don't get my period for another week or so but i started bleeding (kind of like a normal period but lighter) 5 days after ovulating, it's now day 2?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breakthrough: bleeding: quite common in young women often due to fluctuations in female hormone levels. stress, tension, anxiety, depression, thyroid issues or illness. I suggest monitoring your cycles and consulting with your GYN.
