Hi everyone. This morning I noticed a bit of spotting after going to the washroom. I'm only 2dpo at the most - I had a positive opk during the day Monday, by the evening I felt the pains. The pains lasted until last night. This morning I noticed the spotting. I am also having some slight cramps in my lower abdomen but I thought it was just gas.
I've never had ovulation spotting before, so this totally threw me. It's nothing to be alarmed about?

@winniebee: No, I took one on Christmas Eve at 12 or 13 dpo and it was negative, then AF showed up the next day. I don't think I would be pregnant because I had AF, and I felt the ovulation pains the other night as I do every other cycle. I have a few cheap ones at home, I suppose I could take it. But I don't know, it seems unlikely.

@Shizaz: Seems really unlikely, too. But I once got pregnant on CD5 sex. I had a period and 2 weeks later started spotting. I had no idea I was pregnant. A friend encouraged me to take a test, and it was positive 
I lost the pregnancy, but it goes to show that it CAN happen. That was literally the only possible conception date.

@winniebee: Interesting. Sorry you ended up losing it though. I'll see how things go and maybe I'll end up taking a test tonight or tomorrow.
I did do about a half hour of yoga last night before bed, maybe the increased blood flow caused it. It's just weird because I've never had spotting at this point before.

@Shizaz: I think a few women on here have had ovulation spotting - there was another thread on this recently I'll see if I can find it.

I have always had ovulation spotting. It usually came a few days after my positive OPK. Just very light & usually only appeared for a couple wipes. Never so much I needed a tampon/pad.
Good luck to you.

Did you check your CM and then spot? Or was the spotting just from peeing? Sorry to be blunt. That's happened to me before (I have a sensitive cervix I think)
I've also had mid-cycle spotting in other circumstances and mine has not been correlative of ovulation - I actually had some before I ovulated this past cycle where I got pregnant. I was on clomid so I know I didn't ovulate until after.
That's all to say, that mid-cycle spotting can be normal. As long as it doesn't become heavier, my doctor just said not to worry about it.

@mrsjd: I wasn't checking CM or anything. I went pee, and got up and was about to flush but as I glanced in the toilet, I saw the toilet paper looked a bit pinkish, so I wiped again and it was definitely pink. I just went a few minutes ago again and it's still there although it's only when I wipe, I don't seem to need a liner or anything.
I will keep an eye out and hopefully it won't get heavier. It's a bit alarming as this never happens! But good to know that it can be normal.

@Shizaz: It totally freaked me out when it happened too. But I'm sure you're fine.
I always hated when I had midcycle spotting because it's like, dang body, like I needed another symptom to obsess over! So cruel.

@mrsjd: Yeah no kidding. If it were a few days later I'd be excited about possible implantation bleeding. But this is too early for that, so it's just confusing! I'm probably going to obsess about it all day!
