In women who aren't taking oral contraceptives, mid cycle bleeding is most likely simply to be as a result of ovulation bleeding. This typically occurs 7-20 days after your last period, is light, and often lasts somewhere between 12-72 hours.
This occurs in approximately 10-30% of women, is considered normal, and occurs as the result of a sudden surge in oestrogen that occurs at ovulation, that then drops, causing destabilisation of the lining of your womb, which causes a short bleed.
Kind regards,
