When i peed this morning i notice thin red lines of blood in my vaginal discharges. What could it be? My period is 34 days, i last have my period on 4 April.So, it's in the middle of my cycle. Is it my ovulation? I did not have any sex after my last period, only my boyfriend fingered me, but his finger was supposed to be "clean".

Hello Aby

I have a couple of thoughts on your situation. One is that spotting between periods is a very common issue and it could just be that. The other is that perhaps your boyfriend gave you a tiny cut with his nail or a little irritation and that is what caused the blood you are seeing. Just like any other tissue, the vaginal wall can be cut or scraped and bleed a bit.

I wouldn't worry too much about it if you have no other symptoms or problems. Just be aware and if you have a discharge or discomfort then you might want to have an exam to rule out infection.

We get a lot of questions in this vein: https://www.empowher.com/condition/menstrual-cycle
