Spotting week before AF every month - anyone else?

[almosthere]

I have not spotted since-b.c dh get's grossed out after dtd and seeing spotting so we prob. want dtd until round 9 of ttc if i am not preg this cycle....got 2 tests that look like the one I posted on this page, and my third (first one I took) which is more pink and visable....could just be the brand, b.c no pos. on cheapies-although I feel like I see something faint from one last night but could also be an evap!.....ad due 4-6 days from now!

almostthere- wooow, that luks positive fx 4r u !

jelly- sorry abt the spotting hun ! since u had no spotting last few cycles,it could b ib ! fx !

mrsp- i dont agree with ur doc's bbt theory ! u'll b monitored next cycle,right ? hope the cyst is gone ! wen is ur turkey trip ?

katie- gl with this cycle !

have a gud weekend ladies !

 

[almosthere]

thanks ladies but checked cervical mucus today and was dark pink/brown as it usually is when close to af...counting my 3 pink test lines as evaps and counting myself out...

 

[dreaminghopin]

Almosthere spotting doesn't mean your out. Have you tested again with first morning urine? xxxx

 

[almosthere]

I did yesterday on a cheapie and BFN..I think the first response and answer early brands just are prone to give me pink evaps after the time limit unfortunately!

But I have come to the conclusion that I just have an increase in blood flow during my tww and that whenever DH's penis touches my cervix (during sex of course) or whenever my finger touches my cervix when I check my cervical mucus-I just so happen to find blood every once and a while. So perhaps I am not out, although my cheapies say so. No fmu test this am...and do not plan on testing anymore-wasted sooo much mula on them these past 3 days already!!

Expat. Thanks chick. If my spotting was as bad as other ladies on here I probably would get a second opinion. But since clomid is making me ovulate earlier and my spotting has been pretty good I think I’ll just leave it. Some months it’s so good I don’t think I belong here any more

Katie, they’ll monitor me round 1 but assuming I ovulate they won’t after that. I’ll be interested to see how my cyst is, and my lining after all the clomid. Wishing you all the best for your new cycle hun.

Jellycat, thanks hun. for your spotting, is it usually pink? (IB??)

Almosthere, can you use an FRER? Definitely seems to be the start of a to me! How many DPO are you now?

Yum, I go on 10th May, sooo excited!!

Mrspttc - turned out AF was arriving early . Thought it was odd as my spotting is usually older blood . Good Luck this cycle hope everything works out for you

Almosthere I'd say leave it a couple more days and test with free with FMU - Good Luck

 

[almosthere]

i am 11 dpo, wiped and saw pink tinge to pee-checked cervix and was very wet with bright red blood....onto my 8th cycle, 8th month..af should should by tomorrow I would guess...

 

[almosthere]

jellycat is today cd1 for you? we will have very close cycles if so!

 

[Jellycat]

Yep cd1 AF arrived at lunchtime, my cycle length is all over the place.

 

[daydream]

jellycat and almosthere on to a new cycle!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Almosthere, sorry hun, I really think you had an "almost" BFP as I don't think they were evaps, so fx'd for next cycle hun

Jellycat - so if AF arrived does that mean you had a good spotting month?? Sorry for AF hun

Hi ladies! I am so glad I have fund this post. It is quite lengthy but I have enjoyed reading all your stories! I am 32 and so is dh, we have been ttc for almost 2 years now. I was on bc for 8 years before we started ttc. Ever since coming off bc I have spotted from 2 to 7 days before AF. By ob didn't seem to think too much of it but when I went back after a year of ttc and no pregnancy she sent me to a specialist. A year later and I have had every test done (my progesterone levels have been tested multiple times and come back normal) and all but one test points to no issues. I had a lap & hysteroscopy at the end of march and he found stage 3 endo, I also had 2 fibroids removed. I am not 100% sure what caused the spotting, but I am pretty sure it was the endo! I have only had af once since the surgery and had no spotting prior, just full on AF!

Hope this helps! Good luck to you all!!

tlm - endo could very well have been your cause. I hope the lap was your fix! What is your gameplan now that the endo is cleared up?

Thanks!! I'm pretty excited. Only a few short days away to see that heartbeat and see how many little ones I'm growing.

I was really bloated yesterday and was glad to see that gas x is safe during pregnancy. I feel so much better today. I'm actually able to eat some food, which is a relief. I'm trying to keep perspective and see the bigger picture. I had a froyo date with another friend who's pregnant today, which helped so much. Now time for a nap

 

[Jellycat]

Daydream / Chloe - have Great scans - very exciting

Welcome tlm - wishing you a positive cycle

Mrspttc- yep no spotting this is the 4th cycle now where I've been spot free but don't know why or what has changed. Only thing I can think if is maybe my hormones are now stabilising as I've had shorter cycles recently too.

One dips I'm not sure hun. I don't know what ovuview is, but FF is good for charting. I can see why you got cross hairs but your post ovulation temps are similar to pre ovulation. I think you need a few days more temps as the ovulation day can change depending on what happens with future temps. CD10 seems awfully early for ovulation... x
