Nicole This is probably peri-ovulatory spotting. It happens to some women, and is usually associated with other ovulatory symptoms ie, side pain, breast tenderness. If you are charting temperature, you should see it associated with the rise we see at ovulation. It is not a reason for concern, just due to the intense hormonal changes associated with ovulation.
