Spotting in your ovulatory phase
Spotting is light bleeding or brown discharge outside your main period flow. In your ovulatory phase it tends to flare because the brief estrogen dip right after the egg releases can cause light mid-cycle spotting.
What's happening in your ovulatory phase
Estrogen and testosterone peak around ovulation. Confidence, libido, and verbal energy are highest, and skin often looks its best.
