Trying To Conceive. Reason For Having Periods In The Middle Of Ovulation
I have very regular periods every 28 days. Husband and I are ttcing. I started my cycle on August 14 which lasted 4 days. Then right in the middle of ovulation{ August 29 cycle day 16} I start bleeding again. I'm kinda shocked not sure what`s going on.

Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
What you are describing is actually quite normal. Mid-cycle, just beyond the surge in LH hormone and ovulation, there is a brief, abrupt drop in estrogen levels that sometimes leads to a small amount of mid-cycle spotting. This can be confusing, but in the setting of otherwise normal / regular cycles, is the likely best explanation. Remember to take a pregnancy test to rule this out as well.
I hope that this helps and good luck!
