Hi ladies, new here but longtime lurker

Ttc number one, first month, in tww. Chronic chroooonic spotter! Could you direct me to the thread this started from (ttc spotters)?

Also, would love to hear about your experiences with spotting, ttc, and the cycles you got your bfp's

TMI to follow... For me, my 'spotting' can be from 5 days before my period to 2 weeks before my period (from ov straight on through) and varies from brown discharge that increases to period amounts and turns super dark in colour before my period - to full on sporadic gushes of bleeding (new blood but not my period) in between the brown... Etc. Nothing is 'weird' for me! Specialists highly suspect endo, also have a friable cervix. My progesterone levels are fine, I ovulate consistently, estrogen levels are a bit high.

This has been going on for many many years. Few health things to mention - I've always been a chronic insomniac - pretty darn severe. Always wondered how much impact this has. In my mind, there is no question that this would have an affect on all of this... Few abnormalities with my immune system, and horrendously chronic migraines. I eat as clean as clean can be and have for years, no gluten and dairy, no migraine triggers (even the seemingly innocent/obscure ones), I go to the gym...

Tried it all, from acupuncture to supplements to meds to etc etc. Just can't seem to get my system under control, and I'm sure many of you can/could relate! Really curious to see if I will conceive this month, if I will have trouble conceiving or sustaining a pregnancy, etc.

Would love to hear any thoughts/experiences!

Edit: Just realized this thread is dead! Feel free to direct me elsewhere! Thanks!

Hi Ella,
The thread this started from is even more dead it seems.. https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/t...ek-before-af-every-month-anyone-else-531.html

I can share my experiences. I am a chronic spotter as well. went to the Dr, got my hormones checked, and it showed my progesterone was a little low, but nothing out of the range of normal. I would tend to spot 7-10 days before AF, and my cycles were very irregular. anywhere from 35-60 days. I tried clomid, which just made my spotting worse (used to be brownish, then on clomid was dark pink or red). It made me very nervous. Clomid didnt work for the 2 cycles i tried it, so i went to an RE. That really eased my stress level, and the month i was waiting to try another medicine, i conceived naturally. I spotted the entire TWW, however, pretty badly. Until one day the spotting stopped, and AF never showed up, so i took a test and was pregnant! After i had my DD, and once i stopped breastfeeding, AF came back and i was back to spotting as usual, unfortunately. But at least i felt better about TTC #2, and once i had discovered the signs of Ovulation (EWCM!), i got pregnant pretty much right away. I also spotted with this pregnancy throughout the TWW. I am due in April with #2. Good luck to you!
