I'm mid cycle right now and have been spotting for 4 days with mild cramping and i don't know why? how long would ovulation spotting last?

4 days: Is probably still within normal; this could be breakthrough bleeding. Don't worry, might see your doctor if it continues.

Low estrogen: Mid-cycle spotting usually is a result of low peri-ovualtory estrogen. With ovulation, estrogen levels drop. If already low, the additional drop with ovulation can cause spotting. The estrogen is coming from the growing egg and is therefore low as a result of the egg quality that month. Uterine factors such as polyps and fibroids can also result in spotting.
