It might just be old blood from your operation, but given the circumstances, I would be on the phone to the GP.

Best of luck to you x

Could just be spotting from ovulation. Some women get this from time to time. If you also feel a little bloated and or have a little lower abdominal pain on one side, these can also be signs of ovulation. I started getting this every month about 9 months after I had my daughter and had never had it before then. If it is this, then it's nothing to worry about. If you're not sure what's causing bleeding between periods though you should definitely get it checked out with your GP.

thanks. would bleeding whilst ovulating hinder the great sperm race???? as in stopping the swimmers form getting to the egg.
