Ovulatory bleeding lasts several days

Ovulatory bleeding is a phenomenon that every mature woman may show. It usually occurs on the 12th to 16th days of the regular menstrual cycle. The bleeding time is generally about 3 to 5 days, but some people can last until the next menstrual period. Ovulatory bleeding is caused by large fluctuations in hormone levels in the body during ovulation, causing a small amount of endometrial shedding. Therefore, ovulatory bleeding may occur every month or once every few months. Some people may never show it.
