mid cycle spotting?

#1 January 6th, 2010, 10:48 AM

I was wondering if anyone had some input on my chart. It's been a pretty much all over, and I'm not too surprised, but the last two days I've had some minor TP spotting (pink if that helps). We haven't BDed since Mon, so it's been a few days... Yesterday when I was spotting, I assumed it was just from BDing the day before, but today I was spotting too, and it was a bit more then yesterday. It's pretty early for me to O, and given my temps, I wouldn't think I have yet. My cervix does seem quite low, but I'm not sure if that's a fertility sign or if it is a sign for being not fertile. I count this as my second true PP cycle, and I am bfing, but probalby not often enough to affect my cycles much if at all.

Anyway, could this be something other then impending O?

Spotting after AF has ended is a sign of rising estrogen, so it's considered potentially fertile (and the 3 days afterward) - especially if it's accompanied by CM that you can either feel or see. It tells you that your body is revving up to ovulate, but whether it's successful or not has yet to be seen. If this attempt at ovulation fails, your body will likely try again later.

Ovulation is possible from CD5 onward, so there's never "too early" or "too late" for it. Your body will tell you when it's trying to happen.

No, your chart doesn't show ovulation yet - but sperm can live in your body up to 5 days from BDing on a day of potential fertility. If ovulation isn't confirmed within the next few days you can consider yourself in the clear, but if it is confirmed then there's a chance because sperm could still be alive.
