Ovulation bleeding left me terrified when I first experienced it: so here's what you need to know about the lesser-known vaginal bleed

Ovulation bleeding is thought to occur in 1 in 20 women.

“The timing of ovulation varies depending on the length of a woman’s cycle,” says Bailey, “In general, ovulation occurs 14 days before a period. In a regular 28-day cycle, this means ovulation will happen mid-cycle at day 14.

I didn’t know what to make of any of it: the scraps of information I gathered online, or the blood that continued to ooze into my vaginal discharge and onto the loo roll in my hand. But when I’d been seeing blood in various colours for a full week, I knew I couldn’t continue trying to self-diagnose. "Bleeding after sex requires a full assessment of the cervix, called a colposcopy; and women over 25 should always attend for cervical smear test when called.”I managed to get a scan. The results came back clear, and I was assured that the bleeding I’d experienced could be put down to ovulation bleeding and nothing more. I’d had what Bailey describes as a “diagnosis of exclusion,” meaning that other causes have been ruled out.

Now, things started adding up: I was inordinately stressed at work during the time I experienced that heavy ovulation bleeding . But I should have gone to my GP straight away, rather than attempting to self-diagnose.
