We have actively been trying for 13 months. Had suspected miscarriage in jan. Three days ago, had a pink discharge once. Thought it might be ovulation since last period ended 21 st of Aug. today, I am spotting bright red n have slight pain. Never had odd period, am 31 n have had a child, now 4. Don't want to overreact. Any help from ppl who have experienced it would be great. Thanks.

Jane Harrison Hohner, RN, RNP responded:
Dear An:If your flow ended on 8/21 I am assuming that the first day of your last period was perhaps 8/14 or so. Hope I am tracking you correctly. If that is right then probable day of ovulation would have been about 8/28. Your erratic spotting started 9/6.

There are several POSSIBLE explanations:

1. Implantation bleeding

2. An ovarian cyst

3. Late luteal phase spotting from less than normal amounts of progesterone produced after August's ovulation.

I would urge you to do a sensitive pregnancy test on the first day of a missed period then repeat it in seven days to confirm/rule out a pregnancy. If the pain escalates significantly (eg ovarian cyst) consult your OB/GYN. ...Hope you conceive promptly and have a health delivery.

Yours,
Jane
