In the beginning of this cycle, I was so pumped up and excited because for the first time in aaaaages I had a tonne of EWCM and we BD'ed at all the right times. Now I am completely bummed out. For the past 2 cycles, my length between periods has only been 24 days. Last cycle I had light spotting 2 days before my period, the cycle before that I had spotting 4 days before my period was due. My period is normally around 28 days, not 24.
I thought it might have just been 2 random occurrences, but now I am 9-10dpo and I have started light pink spotting again. I started temping this cycle as well, and I had a really big dip at ovulation, temps went up, but now they've dipped twice below the coverline. I don't know how accurate this is coz this is the first that I've charted, but I am worried sick I am crossing everything that can be crossed that the 2 other times were just random and that this time around it's an implantation bleed. But then when this first ever happened I got so excited that it was IB, but it just turned out to be the stupid spotting before my period is due. It's so frustrating, I never have this issue, but suddenly I've had it my past 3 cycles, and these are the 3 cycles that we've been really trying, how ironic is that?!
I'm nervous about going to my doctor because I've been going to him since birth and he's a great doctor, but also very casual with me because he knows my family and I so well. I know he'll probably just say 'what's the hurry, you're only young and have plenty of time'. But we want this now, and even if we weren't trying I would want to get my hormones in balance. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations on products/diet etc that I can use to naturally increase my progesterone levels? I don't want to use anything too drastic without being diagnosed incase I actually don't have an imbalance...
