Spotting between cycles

[katyta]

Hi everyone! :wave:

In new here and need some advice!
Have been TTC for quite a while but so far no luck, as my estrogen levels are low (might be PCOS) and hubby have low sperm count. :sad:
I've never, as far as I can remember, had spotting between periods.
Usually have long cycles, between 30 and 45 days, and some brown/pink spotting on the day before my period starts.
Yesterday evening when I went to toillet had some brownish spotting mixed with CM.
Nothing on the knickers, just on the toillet paper, and haven't had any again since yesterday.
Have been having some pelvic cramps and headache since yesterday every now and then, and slightly painfull breasts, again every now and then, since my last period, which was on the 15th of March.
I haven't change anything in my routine really, except for starting on folic acid again (which i stopped for a while), but have never had spotting while taking folic acid before.

I really feel a bit silly , but was wondering it it might be because of the folic acid?
Would really appreciate any help and opinions, please!

Thank you all!

So 21 days in to your cycle according to your date... could be mid-cycle spotting caused by ovulation - are you doing OVKs?

Hi,

Thank you very much for your reply.
I've never had spotting during ovulation before. Could that mean the egg was actually being released?
No, not doing them just yet as was told they're not accurate.
But decided to give them a go and actually bought 30 OVK's last week, but was looking to start using them after my next period as my cycles are not regular.
Wonder if I should try and do one... do they only work with the first urine of the day?

Sorry for the silly questions, but this is all new for me!

Thanks!

Ive been ttc for just over 2 yrs never had mid cycle spotting except for last 2 cycles managed to bd only on day of spotting and got my bfp this month. Sadly not a sticky one but I found spotting to be a good sign of ovulation x

Hi kaychikan,

Thanks!
So sorry for your lost but surely you'll get your BFP pretty soon and this time to stay strong!
Hope it is a good sign for me too! Have BD'd the bay before spotting!
But according to FF my o will be this coming sunday... also done an ovk two days after spotting and have been doing them since and all negative.
I've been having headackes, light cramps and tender breasts since spotting... so I don't know, it might be (very) early pms...
