well, today I was told that I o'd on the 13th based on my LH surge.. yay, 7dpo tomorrow - halfway through the 2ww and I didnt' even know it and then I was thinking, hey, my spotting hasnt' started yet.. massive double yay (normally 7 - 10 days before af arrives) get home tonight.. rush to the loo... spotting grrr. only the most teeny tiny little amount - but spotting all the same. No doubt it will continue until af arrives - just so **** annoying.

anyway, just wanted to vent a little.

Boble that sucks hun why does life have to be so unfair I say. Can I ask how long has it been since your M/C sorry I hope I am not prying to much it's just I have the worst memory and has your cycle returned to normal yet?

im open to all questions Charm so please dont be sorry

I had a m/c in July 08 and then after that is when the spotting started. I was on the pill till May, our wedding day (3rd) and went off it to ttc a honeymoon baby - which we got but lost. (so first cycle ttc) So, after the d&c is when I noticed the spotting. around 7 days before AF was due. Then i fell preg again in Dec.... and lost that little on in Jan. the spotting since that m/c has been 7 - 10 days prior to AF.

Also, throughout both m/c's I have had spotting all the way through the pregnancies so that hasn't been good. And, I should also mention that one of the reasons i wanted to get off the pill is because i started to get spotting while on the pill.. if i was even minutes late taking it i would get spotting and it had gotten to the point where even if i wasn't late taking it i would get spotting. Originally DH and I had thought we would wait 3 months after our wedding to start ttc but in the end decided i would go off the pill as soon as we were married because of the problems I was having with the pill.

sorry, that was really long. But there seems to be a lot with me and spotting over the last 12 months +

Hey....... there aint no fat lady doin no singin yet...... so hang on in their girlfriend

[..Jessica..]

I'm sorry you're spotting!!! I hope it's IB!!!!

[Trish36]

Sorry Bel....has the doctor checked your progesterone level. Maybe you have a dip right around day 7 and that's what is causing the spotting.
I really hope it's just IB this time. Hang in there....but if AF should arrive we can mope around together. HUGS!!

just found this:



One common cause of spotting several days before the menstrual cycle is due is low progesterone. It’s the hormone progesterone that helps to maintain the uterine lining for pregnancy and when progesterone level drops, the menstrual cycle occurs. In women who are deficient in progesterone, they will see spotting several days to a week before their cycle is due. This can also cause minor infertility and early miscarriage.

Another reason spotting may occur could be uterine fibroids, which are fairly harmless, but need to be kept an eye on. Endometriosis, birth control pills are a few other reasons spotting may occur.

Sally and Trish might be hitting it on the head... IB!!! I hope it is!

[Boble]

sadly it won't be IB as we had to sit this cycle out due to the recurrent m/c testing so there has been no chance of pregnancy. I hope this testing shows low progesterone if that is the case then (im getting bloods tests 7 and 10dpo so that should show it right?)

thanks everyone for your replies. Really appreciate it

[charm]

Thanks Boble I just like to ask befor I pry I know I tell you guys more than DH lol I really hope they come back with some answers for you with the testing and spotting I am finding my cycle isn't 100% after my D&C I know our bodies have been through alot but still hmm I wish you the best of luck Boble let me know hoe you go with the results.

[Boble]

thanks Charm. Hopefully i won't have to wait too long to get the results back. Im really starting to feel like I NEED them now - i've been waiting so patiently, but its just starting to kick in now for some reason... some 3 odd weeks since the testing began.
