If pregnancy is to be postponed, it is recommended that sexual relations be avoided for three days after bleeding or spotting.
Bleeding or spotting in the middle of a cycle is rare.
Sometimes, this bleeding occurs in women who have discontinued the birth control pill, the intra-uterine device, Norplant, the three month contraceptive injection or during the pre-menopausal years.
If you have persistent mid cycle bleeding, you should see a physician and request that a biopsy be made to ensure that no tumor or malignancy is present in the reproductive organs.
To be safe, please abstain for three days after today in case the bleeding was caused by the release of the egg at ovulation. .
