Is this ovulation bleeding? (tmi warning)

[Beth Fraser]

Hello everyone!
My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a few months now, and I've been using the bbt method to get a gist of my cycle. Sorry if it's tmi, but I also track the discharge when I wipe, and usually just before and during ovulation, I get the standard egg-white discharge on the paper. This cycle, my discharge started turning a little watery the day after my period, which confused me a little until I read somewhere this is apparently normal right after your period ends (?). Either way, i'm only on day 11 of this current cycle and there's been no sign of egg-white yet, just damp and slightly creamy on paper. But then this morning there were VERY small traces of blood, which i've never had before. I looked this up and read that it could be ovulation bleeding; but this would mean that I'm just about to/ am ovulating now. Is that possible this early in the cycle? Is it possible to have ovulation bleeding even if you haven't had egg-white discharge yet? Am just a little confused. Or is it more than likely just something else?
If it helps give any insight:
- Yesterday morning my bbt dipped a little from regular 36.44 c to 36.22 c, then up to 36.33 this morning.
- My period was a few days late last cycle with 3 days of spotting before hand (which was also new).
- Also had some abdominal pain (kind of like trapped wind pain) last night, and have pain in one breast this morning.
- Also, my husband and I had unprotected sex last night, so could it just be something from this? Never had blood before though.
Thanks or any help guys!

How long are your cycles normally? It is possible that you can ovulated on CD11.
Abdominal pain is a good sign of ovulation and if it matches up to your temp dip then this sounds like ovulation.
Carry on taking your temp if you have another 2 days of temp rising then that confirms ovulation did in fact take place.
Are you also using ovulation sticks? These are good to use alongside temping.

I never really got the egg white CM that everyone spoke about so i stopped tracking that and just went from body signs and ovulation sticks.
