Brief Answer:
You need evaluation.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to me and trusting me.
Yes! I know you very we'll.
Before answering your question I want to ask one question to you that on day 13 it is bleeding or spotting?
My question is - Is it proper period or spotting only because mid cycle spotting can occur when you are ovulating and it is a good sign for you because you had intercourse on 9 th day( so chances of pregnancy more).
In some patient it is not 100% that they should ovulate on day 14 th of an 28 day cycle,it may varies person to person.
I think this information is helpful to you, please revert back to me with my answer.
Good luck.

It was just a one off spotting. Basically I went to toilet there was a small blood stain like watery pink in my knickers and when I wiped but now absolutely nothing and it only happened once.
Fertility monitor has only shown one bar at the moment and today is cycle 14

Brief Answer:
Mid cycle spotting is basically a sign ofovulation

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Nice to see you again.
I know you are very quirous to know about everything and you want to become pregnant.
But menstrual cycle is very complicated and when you get your ovulation it is highly unpredictable sometimes.
With your symptoms you had intercourse on 9 th and you ovulate this time around 13-14 th, so chances of conception are very high this time.
But nothing is 100%.
Please do not stuck on your most fertile day.
You should do more sex in every 2-3 days which induced ovulation and increase your chances of pregnancy.
If you have further any doubt about it please write me, I feel happy to help you.
God bless you.
Good luck.

Brief Answer:
Yes! I think so.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Yes! I am thinking that you could be pregnant but believe me I do not want to give you wrong hope.
Because my calculation may be wrong.
With GOD grace if you are pregnant then test with your urine pregnancy kit 7 days after your missed period.
good luck.

Will fertility monitor still go to 3 bars even if I am pregnant
doctor
Answered by Dr. Richa Agarwal (1 hour later)
Brief Answer:
Yes, it may go.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If you want then you will repost a new query and tell me your positive result.
I am waiting for a good news from you.
Fertility monitor shows your fertility and ovulation.
So if it shows three bars then it shows your fertility.
If clearblue test done 1 day before your expected period then it will say whether you are pregnant or not.
I think your doubt is clear, if any new query please ask me.
Good luck.

I am having lower stomach cramps and bit of pinkish bleeding again why? I scares to have any kind of sexual contact in case brings more bleeding x
doctor
Answered by Dr. Richa Agarwal (1 hour later)
Brief Answer:
It may be a sign of pregnancy.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Nice to see you again.
Light pinkish discharge is a early sign of pregnancy.
But you should wait and watch whether it continued or stop.
Because it can be due to other reasons also like it may be your left over blood of last menstrual cycle or due to increase estrogen level.
You can avoid intercourse during this period.
If want to ask more, please ask me.
Good luck.

Yesterday was cycle day 13 where I had once pink when wiping after go to the toilet then it stopped. But today things are little heavier but not like a period very light pink bleeding. I have never had any problems like this before. The bleeding today does warrant a towel for protection but there is very little and I have lower stomach cramp but nothing like period pain, but having said that I don't suffer with pain.

I am really worried there is something wrong and that I might never conceive if I am starting to have bleeding problems.Should I reset my fertility monitor with bleeding or carry on using it as it has shown 2 bars today so I dont understand whats happening?I have stopped bleeding again hmmmm I am finding this very strange.I have very slight light bleeding yet again

Please help me asap I am worried to death.

Brief Answer:
It can be due to implantation bleeding.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Sorry! for my delayed response.
I am stuck somewhere.
It can be due to implantation bleeding, ectopic pregnancy or due to hormonal imbalance.
If it is possible then please go for blood test and ultrasonography test to see the cause of bleeding.
Please revert back to me with your reports.
Good luck.
