Spotting before af

[ES89]

Hi, wondered if anyone could help me. I'm on cd 29, 14dpo but I've been spotting since the evening of cd 26, 11dpo. Could this have something to do with me not getting a bfp yet? This cycle I took geritol tonic till a couple of days after ovulation and folic acid and baby aspirin for my whole cycle. I took vitamin b complex last cycle but the same thing happened. Can anyone relate to this? Everytime I start spotting I get so down because I know she's coming but waiting this long isn't right surely??

Hi, I also had spotting b4 AF this cycle which is a bit wierd for me. I had 2 days spotting 3rd day light AF, then on to normal flow. Also it came a bit earlier than expected. Tracking n charting is making me n my body crazzzzzzy!

I've kinda always had it most cycles but I'm wondering why for so long? Af is finally here now! Onto the next cycle

I always get pre-af spotting, which lasts anything from about 5 days to 11 days. It is NOT funny! Interestingly, I have also not had a bfp in over 2.5 years of trying. I'm beginning to try to ignore the spotting as, although it's a likely factor in me not getting pregnant, every test I've had has been fine and the doctors all seem unconcerned by it (except I have now pushed it and a consultant has agreed to 'look at' my cervix - on Christmas Eve!) However, the point I wanted to make is that I took baby asprin for a couple of cycles, post ov and during those cycles my spotting worsened. So I took a look at what Dr Google had to say and there were several pages which mentioned asprin in conjunction with spotting, so I haven't bothered this month - we'll see what happens. I don't know whether it's any more than just coincidence, but I wanted to share my experience as food for thought.

Although I've been taking baby aspirin last 2 cycles I have had the spotting on cycles when I haven't. I really feel for you, I go mad with my 3-5 days but 11 days! I always assume I'm getting rid of old blood first. Just never understand why it took so long. Have you had your tubes and ovaries checked?

Sorry, what exactly is baby aspirin suppose to do. You have to be really careful taking aspirin in general. I could never take that. Over here in Canada its only really ppl at risk of strokes take it, usually very elderly to control clotting. I have never heard about its use in ttc! I'm learning lol...but 11 days of spotting is madness! I would push and push for specialists to keep checking u out. X

Sorry might be tmi but may just be a coincidence but I'm sure this period I've had more lining than usual. I've only taken it for a cycle n a half though. What have u tried so far?
