Question for those who would spot before AF

[ParisJeTadore]

@ParisJeTadore - thanks so much! It means so much to hear from people who are going through similar things!

Yep I've been to my GP about it about 3 times and she keeps saying it is fine! I went off the pill Feb 2011 so right now I'm getting tests - I had ultrasound, 7dpo blood test and DH had semen analysis. Results on Monday and then I have app with fertility specialist in couple of weeks!

Well yesterday I felt really down because I had a tiny bit of spotting at 9dpo and I thought I was out but today I have none so I am crossing fingers and toes that it was implantation. We'll see I guess?

I know I've said it before but I really wish I had seen this thread a few years back because spotting all the time really got to me (especially after five years of it consistently!). My dr. said the same thing, "You're fine!" and of course I thought, "You're wrong!" But he was right and I guess that's why I feel strongly that this one "issue" doesn't mean much in way of ttc.

Good luck with your tests! I hope they are able help you get your soon. Fingers crossed for you and lots of

Feel free to pm me if you have any questions

I have always been spotting mid-cycle and also 2-3 days before AF came... when I got my BFP, I never once spotted. I too take B-complex and Vitex, so I assumed that maybe it's finally working. lol

Little did I know.

I NEVER get spotting before AF. On 6dpo, I had a small amount of light brown creamy cm on my undies. It only happened that one time and I didn't get it when I wiped. I believe that was implantation. Got my bfp at 9dpo xxx

Bump

Anyone else have a success story after spotting before AF each cycle?

This thread has made me feel a bit better about my consistent spotting. Just started spotting at 7DPO this cycle and am feeling down about it. Spotting is pretty much gone today, but still not feeling particularly hopeful.

I did spotted as every month the month I got my (which is this month!! . I spotted for 5 days and then it stopped completely. I got my the day after AF should have arrived. Good luck to everyone!!

I'm a spotter. I've had brown spotting for 6-9 days before every AF since I can remember. I started thinking that there could be something wrong with me when me and my husband tried to become pregnant, but it took us only two cycles though!

The cycle I became pregnant I started spotting as usual about 5 dpo so I lost hope and didn't pee on a stick until the evening before my AF should have arrived at 14dpo. By then, the spotting was much lighter which was very unusual for me...I got a strong positive that evening!
I continued spotting for a week or so after my BFP and then it stopped completely and now I'm 12 weeks pregnant.

Ladies...don't lose hope if you start spotting...your might be just around the corner.

Yes, I should update this thread that I found out I was pregnant 3 days after I posted above. I was spotting as usual that cycle, so I had lost hope. It only took us three cycles to get pregnant, despite the spotting!

I spotted off and on until I was about 8 weeks along. Nothing since!

Just updating with my story too! I got my BFP on an IVF cycle. I spotted every (BFN) cycle before that so when the spotting started at 12 or 13dpo I thought I was out. It even got very heavy and turned into full on bleeding for a day or so with strong cramps! BUT miraculously I wasn't out. I got my BFP and now here I am 24 weeks pregnant.

Don't let spotting (or bleeding even) put you off! Good luck x

I'm so happy to see that all of you ladies got bfp's!! Congrats and have happy and healthy pregnancies! I really hope this thread will help others in the future by giving them hope that all is well despite the nuisance of spotting.

I am 7 months postpartum, still breastfeeding so no period yet (which has been LOVELY!) but hoping when it does return that the spotting wont. Here's hoping...

ParisJeTadore - I hope you're enjoying life as a mummy? Do you have a boy or a girl? I remember you helped me a lot in the early days of fertility testing etc. I'm pleased I can share my happy ending with you!

Hi!

So, since December, I have always spotted 1-2 days before AF. Bbs hurt for 2-3 days, and then AF inevitably comes. Cycle is 30-31 days normally.

This month, I was supposed to start at 31 days, I haven't had ANY spotting, bbs have been sore for at least 4-5 days, normally don't have sensitive nipples, but they are noticeable now, and I had ewcm the last 2 days, and creamier today. I didn't test the 1st day of my missed period, bc last month it came at 32, but I used First Response on the 2nd missed day, and BFP! I took another test a few hours later, and same result!

I had a feeling when I didn't spot, and bbs were sore for longer. Baby dust to all!!!

When I told other females in my family that i spot before every period they thought i was weird. This is very normal for me and has been for years now. I have endometriosis and believe its caused by this... However me and my fiancé were strong minded and new we wanted children so we ttc and amazingly I got pregnant almost straightaway (now have a 61/2 month old boy). BUT, we want to add to our family soon as possible before my condition worsens again. So we are ttc again, and no success as yet. I am due for my period in 6 days and right about now I normally have spotting for 6 days leading up to it! But it hasn't begun?! I am having CM everytime I wipe and feel quite wet. I had a positive OV test this month also and also had sex before and after. I'm really hoping this could mean I'm pregnant. I have done a test already but it was a BFN... I know this was silly of me as I'm not due for a week.

(Before my last pregnancy I had my regular before period spotting and 3 days later had a BFP)

Does anyone else have regular spotting before their period and not had it as usual?

Good luck to everyone!
