question about pre-af spotting

[Johnsmommy]

Hi everyone,

Here's my story. I'm 28 years old and have a 2 and a half yeat old boy. It took 7 months to get pregnant with him and had no issues the whole pregnancy. Two months after my period returned, December 09 we got pregnant again. I got a bad stomach flu at about 9 weeks, in March 10, and lost the baby two days later. I was devasted, but figured it was a fluke and wouldn't have a problem getting pregant again.

Since then, we've been trying every month. Since about February, I've started to have some brown spotting a few days before my period started. In June, I had no spotting, did a test, found out I was pregnant! I was so excited. A few days later, I went to the doc, and she did a pap smear. I immediately started spotting a lot. My numbers we good according to the blood work, but the spotting didn't stop, turned into bleeding, and I had a miscarriage 36 hours later. I was so crushed!

Since then, the spotting that comes before my period is getting worse and worse each month. It now starts 7 dpo and goes until my period starts at 12 dpo. I'm 8 dpo now, and yesterday I had a weird rush of blueish, almost black blood. Not clotty at all. It covered about 5 wipes of tp and then stopped. Sorry if tmi. Now I'm still spotting brown and just had a little clot. I'm afraid to even move, because my husband thinks I'm pregnant since my aereola are darker. He says they're only like that when I'm pregnant. I know it's too early to get a positive hpt. If I don't move around too much, the spotting isn't so bad. I want to be pregnant so badly. My doctor says not to worry and that I'm fine, but she hasn't tested me for anything!! I'm so sad and frustrated.

Anyone else experiencing similar symptoms? Do you think I could be pregnant? If not, what would be causing my body to act the way it is. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, and baby dust to all of us!

Not sure I have much to say that's any help really. I usually get spotting/ brown disharge for a day or two before my period. I have friends who get it for a week before their period starts. It sounds like your hormones may be acting a bit strange because of the mc? Or you might be pregnant!! Fingers crossed for you...good luck

Dear Johnsmommy
Don't listen to your doctor. You have a clear sign of progesterone insufficiency, in other words hormonal imbalance. You need to find a serious doctor. I would recommend fertilitycare doctors. www.fertilitycare.eu/
If you really are pregnant the best thing you can do is to get progesterone support.
I wish you all the best,
Amber ( suffer from the same problem. My spotting usually starts 1-2 days after ovulation and continues all cycle)

Thanks for the advice, Amber. I've sort of been feeling like that was the case with me. If you don't mind my asking, have progesterone supplements helped you. I hope they have. I think I'm going to insist I get tested for it next cycle if it turns out I'm not pregnant now. I still have my fingers crossed!
