Having sex during ovulation may increase your chances of getting pregnant, but it may also cause some discomfort. Some people may experience vaginal bleeding near ovulation, which is often called "ovulation bleeding." Although this condition is uncommon, it can cause worry and discomfort for some people.

For some people, ovulation bleeding may cause discomfort such as pain, itching, and fatigue. Some people may feel insecure or worried, which may cause them to abstain from having sex during ovulation.

However, ovulation bleeding is not a contraindication to all sexual activity. In fact, for some people, this type of bleeding may increase the chance of pregnancy because hormone levels in a woman's body are higher during bleeding, which may make it easier for sperm to enter the woman's body.

If you are considering having sex during ovulation and are concerned about bleeding, it is recommended to talk to your doctor first. Your doctor may recommend tests, such as a vaginal exam and blood tests, to determine if an infection or other problem is present. If your doctor thinks bleeding is unavoidable, they may provide treatment recommendations, such as using bleeding suppressants or avoiding excessive sexual activity.
