Spotting week before AF every month - anyone else?

[cantwaitforu]

AF is due today. I had VERY light brownish colour in my cm last night. It's very different from the usual tissue-stringy stuff. This morning, I wiped after FMU and it was a pink spot about the size of a thumb nail in cm. I am getting AF, but am so confused about getting it this way! I'm so annoyed that I didn't get my usual spotting and hope that I didn't magically get a progesterone boost this month that will be seen in my blood tests.

I also want to try acupuncture, but I think I will do that once I get some help from my doctor - either clomid or progesterone. I don't consider my current cycles (without medical assistance) viable for supporting a pregnancy.

Does anyone else feel like that? Somehow, I just know that my body will not support a pregnancy by itself. So sad.

Cantwait4u - are you not tempted ot test?! Brown cm and pink spotting can be a really good sign of being pg.....maybe that's why your spotting has stayed away?

Well, CD1 for me and so this morning I took my first maca, 2g, about a teaspoon. I mixed it with a bit of milk and some kiddies nesquik (yes i know that probably undoes any goodness!). It did not hide the taste - yuk. This stuff is getting one cycle or two and no more unless it shows some real improvement.
I've also started a B50 complex, not brave enough to jump to the B100.

I've been researching (ok googling to death!) and i'm a bit confused about my 'high' progesterone. At 52 my result was really good, according to the wikipedia graph right at the top of the range for 7dpo. It's confused me as to where to go next really, surely I can't have a hormone problem or oestrogen dominance if my prog is that good? Or could it be pushed higher trying to 'fight' my high oestrogen levels????

I wish I could find a GP who'd have a sensible conversation about all this.

Cantwait4u, I know EXACTLY how you feel. My spotting followed a different pattern this month but still started at 5dpo. Today at 9dpo it's a bit heavier but not full flow yet and not red - but a redder brown than it has been since Sunday!

So bascially, even if I do hold off full AF tomorrow that's still only 10dpo which isn't an ideal luteal phase.

I'm seeing my GP on Saturday and am going to ask for a referral to the assisted conception unit at my local hospital, where I'm going to ask for Clomid. She'd asked me to try for another 3 months naturally and it's only been a month, but like you, I fail to see how my 'natural' cycle can support a pregnancy.

I'm also going to see an acupuncturist on Saturday, who's also a Chinese herbalist. I'm not sure about herbs/vits because agnus castus and b vits didn't make any difference and in fact may have contributed towards how late I ovulated this month (cd 25!), but since having acupuncture once monthly for the past 5 months at least I don't have painful periods any more. But, I spoke to this new acupuncturist and she has much more experience in reproduction and fertility so I'm going to try more regular sessions with her instead.

One thing I have heard is that you should talk to your acupuncturist if you are on Clomid/any hormone therapy as sometimes they say that you shouldn't combine the two as it might send the balance the other way! So just something to think about.

I'm sure we'll get our BFPs - it'll just require a bit more tenacity! x

I really want clomid too! My new GP knows about fertility issues and said that he would be happy to take me as far as either clomid or progesterone, but also that he would refer me to a fertility specialist. I'm trying it out with him. I've been going for bloodtests all this month, and I'm so worried because this is the best cycle I've had for as long as I can remember!

_Nell: I was going to test either tomorrow or Saturday, but I am thinking that AF is just screwing me around and she will show her ugly face soon enough. It's very weird spotting this month though! I'll admit that I've had moments of hope the past couple of days.

Lucky you - in the UK I don't think many GPs are willing to precribe Clomid themselves, maybe because they worry they won't be able to monitor it properly. But it would save so much time and effort if they would!

MrsHY how long have you been TTC for?

 

[MrsHY]

MrsHY how long have you been TTC for?

Only since November, but I worked out that in November and December I was BDing at totally the wrong time because I OV at day 20-25 and I was BD day 10-16! So I only really count Jan and Feb as being proper 'trying' cycles.

I know it's way too early for me to get anxious but I can't help it. x

I know it's way too early for me to get anxious but I can't help it. x

After not getting pregnant the first month, my devastation hit the roof for the next 6 or 7 cycles. It isn't too early - it's one of the most difficult things a person/couple can go through. I've learned to never discount my feelings and I'm entitled to whatever I feel like I need to feel.

By my fourth cycle, I knew something was up and that's when I began speaking to my GP about my LPD, the spotting and us trying. I'm thankful I started back then, because I am sure we are closer to getting pg now than we were a few months ago.

I'm now on cycle 8 (still! - it's cd 28, I'm one day late, 11 dpo, very light spotting is still here, my bbt rose slightly this morning, but I still feel like AF will be here any minute), and it's sad to say, but I'm used to not getting pg. I don't even have much faith in this cycle and am quite annoyed that my body is playing tricks on me!

I was timing it wrong for the first month or two and didn't learn that I ovluated later and have a short cycle until I began tracking my BBT. It still blows my mind every once in a while that while DH and I were dating, we weren't careful a couple times and I actually took the morning after pill. What a waste of money! I'm sure I wouldn't have had anything to worry about.

 

[cantwaitforu]

AF arrived today! Two days late, but still have substantial spotting before. I had a 29 day cycle, 12 day LP, but began spotting on 8/9 dpo, but had very microscopic spotting on 5dpo, then nothing for a few days. This is the longest cycle I've had since I began ttc, and one of the longest LPs i've had in a while.

I've taken myself all my vitamins: agnus castus, vitamin b, vitamin e, epo and zinc. Sticking to my pre-natal and omega 3 only.

I have a doctor's appointment in two weeks. Going for fsh bloodtest on tuesday and hoping that my doctor will just give me clomid already!!!!! I don't feel like going through another wasted cycle.

Hello
Well, good news that the LP is getting longer I guess? I saw my Doc yesterday - she said that not being referred up to see a fertility consultant was clearly causing me anxiety (and I think she's fed up of seeing me every few weeks!) so has referred me. It'll probably take a few months to get into the system and then hopefully I'll get Clomid.
She continued to try and reassure me that the main thing is that I'm ovulating - but didn't seem to want to get into a conversation about a short LP.
I'm also now starting weekly acpuncture with someone who specialises in fertility issues and being a medical herbalist, she's also prescribed some Chinese herbs for me to try. I'm going to try this 'quackery' as OH puts it for 2 months and see if it makes any difference to how late I ovulate or how short my LP is. If it doesn't then I'll stop - by which point I'll hopefully be in the system at the assisted conception unit at the hospital.
At least I feel like I'm doing something!

mrshy, i did acupuncture for about 3 months and im still taking the chinese herbs, not sure if it will help you with the spotting but it will def improve your fertility! good luck!

 

[StranjeGirl]

Hi Ladies
I heard you must take a lot of b6 for the spotting...like near 100mg. I had been taking it after I got off bc and had no spotting with 14 day luteal phases. Last month I did not take those same vitamins and started spotting at 10 dpo. Maybe it was coincidence because I did have a surgery and I know that can hrow your hormones off, but I am back to my normal vitamins now. I also take vitex (agnus castus) good luck!!

That's great! My former GP was getting sick of me - and now I'm with DHs GP...so it's only a matter of time. He said he will do the tests and will refer me to an ob/gyn or a fert specialist. I'm going to see how we go with the tests. I've already done blood tests for over a month and I think he wants to send me for an HSG - I really don't think it's necessary and I'm annoyed that it's slowing things down for me. I read you have to go for an HSG between 7 and 12 dpo - after af and before you ovulate. That would mean the earliest I can go will be cycle 10. Yes, CYCLE 10. Never thought it would have gone on for this long.

What type of chinese herbs are you on? I was looking into that earlier this week. I've heard so many good things about acupuncture and TCM. Would love to hear how everything is working for you.

Glad it worked for you! I think all the pills I was taking (including agnus castus and vitamin B complex) was messing me up. I was up to taking 250 mg of B6 in my luteal phase. It didn't do anything for me, so I think it's more of an ovulatory issue.

Hello
Well, I'm having another acupuncture session today (cd7) and plan to have them weekly for the next two cycles, to see if they make any difference to when I ovulate and/or my luteal phase length. I've also started the chinese herbs, my packets arrived yesterday and I boiled the first batch (lasts for 6 days) on the hob last night! You drink it like tea - you basically strain the herbs off once boiled and keep a batch in the fridge. They're not what I would describe as herbs - basically looked like a load of strange toadstools and bark! All the names were written on the packet but I stupidly binned it otherwise i'd let you know. I'll find out if they make a difference! Can't believe that a 31 year old Londoner who works in pharmaceuticals has turned to herbs that look like wood that I don't even know the name of! This baby making business has literally made me gaga. xx

That is so funny!! Oh, the things we do. It really is unbelievable. I told my BFF about us TTCing earlier this year. I told her about all the crazy things I've done. It was liberating to look at it and at least have a laugh.

There have been a few times that DH and I BDed on the couch and I wanted to go to bed after. Instead of getting up, I bent my knees over his shoulders and was brought to the bedroom upside down to make sure his swimmers stayed in. What a sight!

You may be motivating me to try acupuncture! I have the appt with my GP next Thursday. We find out about DH's SA results and get to see what my hormones have been doing the past cycle.

Hi everyone, I have a 28 day cycle and ovulate on Cd18 that giving me a 10 day LP and yes I also spot before my period. The doctor prescribed me 50mg of vitamin B6 and I also started taking 1000mg agnus castus. I then got my first ever BFP last cycle but sadly this ended in miscarriage at 5 weeks 3 days and I am absolutely convincing myself that its due to me having low progesterone. I am going to speak to my doctor about this next week.
With my periods I have symptoms of low progesterone: Bad PMS symptoms, short Lp, spotting before period and very heavy periods with clots.
My mum had 5 miscarriages along with 3 healthy babies only because she had progesterone injections throughout her pregnancys. It really seems that low progesterone is a huge problem in people even conceiving in the first place and also linked to miscarrying.

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage So did the B6 & AC work or did you still spot but got a anyway? I've read some women who's spotting wasnt a problem in getting pg but they seem quite rare! I'm just about to enter the 2WW again (pos OPK just waiting for temp rise to confirm) & I am really excited for this cycle, not cos I'm getting my hopes up for a , more because I didn't have any spotting last cycle for the first time since taking the AC after ovulation & starting Maca and am dying to find out if I've beaten it for a second month!! x

P.S Although my ticker says 29 day cycle, it was much shorter last month than usual, it's went from 34 to 33 to 31 to 29. I'm hoping as I'm just ovulating I'll have a longer cycle & therefore LP x
