question (possibly TMI)

So my husband and I were cleared to TTC again about a week and a half ago... and it seems like a lot of times we try within a few hours afterwards, I'm spotting. It's like a light brownish/tan color and not heavy. I'm not on my period anymore so I doubt it's still related to that. What could it be? I know implantation bleeding is possible (but a lot of times I've heard it's so little most women don't even notice it), but if it was implantation bleeding it wouldn't be almost everyday would it? Perhaps my body is just still adjusting? Just thought I would throw the question out there to see if you ladies had any idea. It's annoying to have to wear a pantyliner every day because of it. According to my charting/app I should be ovulating this week.

When I was first cleared to ttc, the first few times we dtd, I would spot too. For me it was not ovulation bleeding (I still haven't ovulated or had AF yet), but I figured maybe it was just that the "action" had caused it, since my whole nether region had just been through so much trauma.

That's what I figured, but I know sometimes it's hard (for me at least) to determine when I'm ovulating since my cycles are so off. It was the only thing I could think of that it may be. I don't know why else I would be spotting?

Thanks for the GL. GL to you too. Smile

My cycles were crazy after each of my losses, and I had random bleeding and spotting in between actual periods for about 3 months. Sex caused a lot of it. For me, I think it was just my body readjusting and getting back to normal.

Well it's reassuring I'm not the only one. I'm not sure it was because of DTD or the 'action' because we've been DTD as soon as we were cleared to about a week after the D&C... Maybe it's just one of those weird things that occur...

Thanks everyone for your comments! It sounds like several of us have random spotting after the loss and it isn't as rare as I thought. I'm glad we're all together in this.

I'm sorry. I know how frustrating this is. I had mid-cycle spotting last cycle and this cycle. Prior to that I've had a tiny bit of spotting the day of O a few times, but nothing like this. It was 5 days last cycle and 3 days this cycle. It was close to O time, but not exactly during O. I talked to my dr about it and she said it was nothing to worry about in my case as long as it's around O. Obviously you'd have to talk to your own dr about your case, but just thought I'd share my experience.

I think the fact that it's light brown/tan means that it's likely just old blood leftover from AF?? Just a thought!

I have always had pretty crazy AFs when not on BCP, so I have been known to have cycles where I spot the entire time, so it doesn't seem weird to me that you would spot after you DTD with your DH every time.
