STILL spotting....what is going on??? - Trying to Conceive (TTC) Message Board

Mistina · 09-21-2006, 07:08 AM

I am due for AF on Friday/tomorrow. I started the very light brown, lightest pink spotting on Monday (which was probably like 10 DPO). It's not really coming out out, just there ocassionally when I wipe but it's still going on. I thought perhaps it could be implantation spotting, but still? I am crampy kinda feeling at some times but not a menstral cramps, not annoying. I just don't know what is going on. This is not normal for me at all. I'm a very regular person.
Does anyone have any ideas? I posted on the pregnancy board and started getting answers....but they removed it. Which doesn't make much sense cause I'd like to talk to someone who has gone through this. I'm so stressed about it. I just don't want to take another test like I did on Tuesday and get a BFN and waste one.
Anyone hear of this??????

nevermind..........AF is here. What a bummer.
I've decided that the stress of this all is causing my issues. What else would it be.....I'm super regular any other time.

Baby dust to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (this is alot of work!)

Mistina,

I also spot several days before AF. But just wanted to let you know sometimes that can be caused by low progesterone, so if it persists, you may want to get your level checked. If your cycles are usually 28 days, you need your luteal phase (the time from ovulation to the start of AF) to be at least 10 days, preferably 12 days. So if you start spotting before CD 24, definitely could be a sign of LPD, which can cause difficulty getting pg and also can cause miscarriages. Take care!

I never have had spotting, NEVER. Atleast not since I have been younger, I'm 31 now. I really am convinced that it's the stress of this all trying to get pregnant bolongna!
I guess I have to joke about it cause it IS stressing me out so much!
Thanks though!! I'll keep that in the back of my mind if I have problems, this is only the second cycle of TTC in which I took the pill for a month in July.

Hey Mistina

I had to post to tell you of my recent experience with spotting too. This is only my 2nd month TTC, but last month it was about 5 days before AF was expected and I started to get cramps and bloating, which I never experience until maybe a day or so before AF comes. I have been off the pill for 2 years and my cycles are like clock work, so I can read my body very well.

Well, the cramps continued but AF did not come until 3 days after being expected! And the day before she came, I was spotting all day. And I NEVER have spotted before getting AF, ever!! I am 32 yrs old and this has never ever happened.

It obviously stopped now, but it just made me wonder what was going on inside me??!!!

Sending lots of baby dust your way!!
