Question... Spot or not?!

[Rella]

Hi girls! I've been ttc for 10 months and started fertility testing this month... Dr. suspects endometriosis... I have a discussion appointment at the end of this month to discuss results of all the tests...

Anyway, I always spot a few days before I'm due for AF. This question is for those of you who are also "spotters" and have gotten your BFP's once before... Before you got your BFP did you also spot... or not?! Thank you in advance!

Sorry I've never had a BFP so can't answer you're question. But just out of curiosity do they suspect endo because you spot for days before? I can be up to five days...joy

Endo is suspected mostly because of the pain i experience before my period. For example I have left work on several occasions doubled over in pain from cramping.. this is NOT your typical cramping... I feel extremely nausious and faint! And I have very irregular periods. I will let you know what happens on the 21'st for my discussion appointment!

Hi Rella- I was diagnosed with Grade3-4 Endo last month through Laproscopy. I have had a miscarriage where I got pregnant even with Endo but miscarried at 6 weeks. Basically with Endo even if u do get pregnant, miscarriage rates are extremely high. I used to start spotting a few days before my periods, though my periods were regular. I would have painful periods with nausea et al but nothing very severe. But I would start cramping almost a week before my periods. Basically, there r no sure shot symptoms for endo and the only way to diagnose it is thru Laparoscopy
