hello!can i join too?
my name is jenny i am from greece...i am 29 my dh is 29 also we have been trying for a year now
in every cycle since my first cycle before af i have spotting (all types of spotting dark light red black with tissue thick...watery!every type of spotting!)
i have no progesterone issue no polyps i ovulate on my own and the doctors say its normal(i've been to 4 so far...plus 1 endocrinologist)
well how can a bean be implanted in a collapsing environment thats what i dont get and thats what i believe is the main reason i cannot have a baby...
about my medical history, i had pcos in the past ...
it has been treated and for the last 3 years i take meds for hypothyroidism it has been balanced between 1 and 2 level which doctors say is perfect for conception...
i also take metformin since i am on the level when it comes to blood sugar and also it can help me to have better eggs that mature more quickly ...truly in the past 2 cycles i had ovulation on the 14th day!we monitor by ultrasound...i used to have it between 17-20th day of the cycle...
i have also checked my tubes they are open thank god!
and i take pregnacare original tablets i think they also contributed to the regulation of my cycle
sometimes i just wish i had something and the doctors would find it ...i wished they told me you have this thing take this treatment and you will be fine but thats not the case for me
is anyone out there having the same problem as me???i mean spotting with no reason?
did you get you bfp???
i will wait anxiously for your answers
babydust to all of us!!!!!!!!!
Hi Jenny and welcome
Yes I have this too. Its always in the second half of my cycle after I ovulate. Sometimes it doesn't happen until quite late in my cycle. Other days it happens 2 days after ovulation. Once it starts I get it every day until I get my actual period. Mine usually starts off as very light brown, getting progressively darker and then before my period becomes more red. I also get some pain just before my periods. When I get my periods they are very heavy but only last about 2 days which doesn't seem right at all.
I have been TTC since March 2011. I did get pregnant December 2011 but that ended in MC and I haven't managed to get pregnant since then. I went to my GP as soon as I came off the pill because of this and ever since they have been telling me this is normal. Well how can it be when I have been TTC nearly 3 years? In the end I did eventually get referred for tests and I have a laparoscopy in a few weeks to check for endometriosis. All other tests have come back fine. I hope that they don't find endo I'd rather be 'unexplained' than have that. I have been told that the next step is probably going to be IVF in the new year.
I don't think my MC had anything to do with the spotting I think that I was just very unlucky. Incidentally on the month I found out I was pregnant I had absolutely no spotting at all so I knew I was pregnant. On the other hand I have a friend that told me she had this. She managed to get pregnant after about a year TTC and she said the month she got her BFP she did have spotting so I think everyone must be different.
Sometimes I think doctors say things are normal when they don't have answers.
I understand how hard it must be. Every month that goes by without a BFP is so hard and it doesn't help when everyone around you seems to get pregnant at the drop of a hat. It seems so unfair.
Please don't lose hope though, quite a few people on here have managed to get pregnant and have babies. I got pregnant after the first 10 months TTC and you haven't been TTC much longer than that so heres hoping you don't have to wait much longer.
Good luck
