Spotting week before AF every month - anyone else?

[MrsPTTC]

Sorry AF got you dreaminghopin .

Liz when we were first TTC I was referred to a gynae for painful BD (dyspareunia - spelling?!) But it wasnt TTC related. I then got referred to a separate FS for the fertility problems 10 months later. They are different but the paths cross in that some fertility problems are caused by gynae issues so you might have to see both. My HSG was just done by the xray dept.

Liz, i dont know if its the same in the UK, but in the US, a Fertility Specialist is typically a Gynecologist who now specializes in fertility, and doesn't see patients for routine pap smears, yeast infections, etc. But gynecologists can also order tests, prescribe clomid, and help you try to get pregnant, its just not as formal from what I've experienced between the 2 doctors. I think a urologist can also specialize in fertility, especially on the male side, although the Dr my DH went to for his SA supposedly also treats female infertility.

welcome baby on way! Sorry you had to join the thread because of the dreaded spotting. Sorry to hear about your previous miscarriage. I hope you have some good luck in the near future!

Thanks for the replies ladies think I was unsure whether the gynae would be the one to order tests such as the hsg(?) and laporoscopy(typo? Sorry!) or be able to prescribe progesterone suppositories but this helps a lot :0)
Hope the gynae will agree to see me again gp is on holiday until wed so hopefully will find out next week. Fx'd!!!

Hope everyone is doing ok and ready for the weekend! Hope us ladies in the uk finally get some sun (or at least dry!) lol

 

[MrsPTTC]

No trouble Liz. GL! Yeah I know I'm sick of rain, we're supposed to have a mini heat wave up here starting tomorrow, hope it's true!

Ordered a pregnancy journal today, can't wait to get cracking with it x

Almost there and TLM

Welcome Baby on way !

AFM - It would appear that I spotted on the day of ovulation ? (or possible ovulation) Just waiting for spotting to start up again considering this cycle has been so rubbish

MrsPTTC - Yay on the journal , which did you choose?

sry to hear about af and a loss ladies =(

afm, dh sent in his 2nd sperm analysis today-he says he is stressed being forced to give a sample and that it is affecting the amount-could this be a cause of low sperm numbers or no??? hmm...anywho..will get results Tuesday which will determine if we def. have to do IVF or IUI...

Hi
I think may have posted here a few months ago but I have been lurking on this thread for a while. I typical start spotting 4 to 5 days before AF is due, but this month I had an HSG done at 7dpo and I haven't spotted yet anyone else with similar experience? I have taking multiple test and all of them were BFN

 

[dreaminghopin]

I think they look at concentration (amount per ml) so regardless if your dh deposits 1 ml or 3 ml, count would be the same. Hope that makes sence.

Fingers crossed its a good sign for you. How was your HSG? I have one booked for end of august and bit scared.

 

[Mzladyk]

It wasn't to bad, I was very nervous. The worst part was when he inserted the catherer it felt like I was getting a pap with a lot if pressure. My left tube was closed so he tried to force the dye in I will admit that hurt like hell I had to tell him to stop but overall it wasn't to bad. Keep us posted on your results you wil do fine.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Jellycat, will post a link when I'm back on the computer. I almost went for the tatty teddies one but though very cute don't think it had too much substance.

mzladyk

Dreaminghopin try not to worry about the HSG, I was so scared but it was a piece of cake. The xray people said every woman is different (probably depends on any blockages) but the majority don't have pain

[almosthere]

FX mzlady!!

 

[Jellycat]

^^ wss ^^

 

[Mzladyk]

I couldn't resist and I tested again tonight another BFN!! If I can't get a BFP just give me AF so I can move on. What did I do to deserve this ? Ok rant over

 

[Jellycat]

MzladyK when was AF due? Have you been late before?

Afm - cd50 spotting stopped and really high temp raise today still think its AF arriving soon and still don't believe ff that I ovulated lady week.

How's everyone else doing?

 

[almosthere]

Ugh sorry about the long awaited af/bfp jellycat and mzlady.

afm, spotted a tiny bit last night then had sex knowing what was to come...spotting at about 4/5 6dpo :/

 

[Mzladyk]

AF was due on yesterday but I normally have spotting for 4 to 5 days before she shows her ugly face, I'm never late if anything a couple of days early.

Jellycat I say we go on a witch hunt and when we find her knock her out for a least nine months... anyone else want to join in?

Almost-is there any chance that it was implantation spotting FX for you

Mrspttc- how are you feeling?

 

[almosthere]

no mzllady I always spot unfortunately :/

 

[lizc123]

Hi ladies how is everyone?

Feeling sorry for myself cd1 today normally not very painful at all but my uterus feels like its gonna fall out which always worries me when I have a particularly painful one :0( onto cycle 12

 

[almosthere]

Hugs to you Liz!

AFM checked CM yesterday b.c I kept getting brown spotting and had lots of pink/brown spotting =( AF should be here this weekend or beg of next week...

on a brighter note, got DH's S.A. results back yesterday-not sure how many were alive, as last count I was told 11 million but only 2 mil were alive with 15% motility...well this time the motility was 40% with 23 million...eeek! But, FS still wants to follow up due to the motility.
