Pregnancy ?'s: If you are ovulating, you are not on oral contraception with combination estrogen/progestin pills. Light bleeding with ovulation may occur occasionally, but continued light bleeding may be "normal", but get a serum HCG test to be certain about pregnancy. If positive, see your gyn physician for other testing.
