Hi
Its essential to an USG follicular monitoring to know if you are ovulating or not.
If spontaneous ovulation is not seen you should try inj hCG when follicle is > 18mm.
After the inj ovulation should take placewith in 36 hrs.
Sudden onset of heavy exercise can cause this kind of bleeding or else it could be an ovulation bleed.
You may take estrogen support if the endometrial lining is not good
Its a good idea to get examined from below( pelvis exam) to look for other local cervical causes for such bleeding.

what do you mean by ovulation bleeding?

A couple of women do have bleeding at the time of ovulation, which is lighter than normal period and a common phenomenon.

so this bleeding has been up to 4 days now and its flowing so much, does this mean i have missed my opportunity( ovulation) this month because i did not have sex during the period. what will happen now and when is my next period going to be because of the flow.

Its difficult to predict the next periods.
It may come 4 wks from now or may be 2 wks.
Its possible to say about the periods after they are over ie retrospectively.
However you must keep menstrual dates and do regular coitus irrespective of ovulation days because that gives higher conception rates.
