Still spotting???? WHY?

[JASMAK]

I am on CD13, on Clomid - but totally spotting. I haven't got a positive yet on an OPK. I have been feeling ovulation pain. What does this mean? Any ideas??? Should I phone the DR and let them know.

I am not on clomid this month but have been the past 2 months. I am on CD 16 and have been spotting for 3 days. I don't understand either! Strange. I would love to hear what people think......

Is this your first round of Clomid hun? My first round had my AF at double it's normal length. I do get a little spotting around O when I'm on clomid, but I think this is just normal spotting - as I don't O without clomid, which is why I don't get spotting then. I O around CD16 or 17 so I think CD13 might be too early for a positive OPK

If you are concerned, I would definately call your GP - it's better to seek their advice then sitting at home worrying

Third month on Clomid. Maybe it is O spotting then??? I usually get a + OPK around CD14 - which would be tomorrow...

 

[NeyNey]

It could be. Has it let up at all since AF? I'd see what your OPK shows tomorrow, if it's still a negative, perhaps call a Dr

 

[JASMAK]

Well, I usually have heavy flow from CD1-CD5 or 6, then spotting up to CD10. That is pretty much what happened this time, except I started spotting again today.

 

[NeyNey]

Ah, sorry I read it wrong - I thought the spotting has continued from your AF.. In this case, it could be spotting due to O. Hopefully you'll see a positive OPK tomorrow

 

[JASMAK]

OK, well if I see a + OPK tomorrow, I will feel a lot better! Thanks!

I spoke to the doctor about my spotting and she said she thinks I have a luteal phase defect! I've never had a luteal phase defect. I've never had spotting. My body is all sorts of acting funny and I'm not happy about it. She said that I need to start taking progesterone on the off chance that I'm actually pregnant.

- OPK, I think. I am going to post the OPK's of today and yesterday. I will do that soon....in the OPK section.

 

[vineyard]

In the past, do you find that your OPKs are totally obviously positive? I never can really tell......

 

[JASMAK]

Oh forget it, I can't seem to take a decent pic to post!!! I think they are both negative tho.

Yes. Often the line is darker than the control line. I bet I just haven't O'd yet.
