Spotting- *Update* Follicle check today 5/23

iheartsippycups

I am currently on CD 9, took letrozole CD 3-7. My period was brutal (was on progesterone), period was 5/12 - 5/16. Ever since Sunday, I have been spotting on & off- nothing major, only noticeable when I use the bathroom- and not even every time I use the bathroom, don't even need a panty liner. It is red in color (not sure if that matters). Should I call the Dr? Is this normal? I never spot... I go in Friday for my follicle check & possible trigger shot if I am ready- will this affect anything?

Thanks...

i don't have any experience with this but i'm in the camp of "call the doc about anything." it can't hurt to get their opinion. hope it stops!

So weird, almost the exact same thing happening to me but my spotting is light brown.  I went in for my monitoring appt on Monday and I had 3 follies growing and my lining was 8.34mm.  Everything looking good except they found some fluid still in my uterus.  The NP said that was ok and that it would most likely absorb or come out before the IUI.  I didn't ask but I'm assuming that they wouldn't do the IUI with fluid because it would affect the implantation but I'm not sure.  I am trying to help things along by exercise and BDing.

I just spoke to the nurse, she said they would not know for sure what it is until I go Friday for my ultrasound. It could just be regular spotting from intercourse, or fluid in my uterus. She said if it is the fluid in my uterus, and there is a lot, we may have to bring on my period again and start over- wtf! I just had my period last week, and I am paying $200/per appt- stupid insurance- I can't afford to start over yet! OMG

FX that is turns out to be no big deal, then.  I would be so disappointed to have to start over.  Hope you don't!

Thinking good thoughts today!

No fluid in uterus!!!!!!!! No good sized follicles on the left, but a really good one on the right @ 18mm- needs to be over 20mm, and they grow 2-3mm/day- so it will be good tomorrow. They took my blood to check progesterone level (I think to see if I am ovulating now- but not sure?!) the plan is they will call me today with those results, I will give myself the shot tomorrow, and hubs & I will be very busy on Sat-Mon! I am feeling confident, and keeping positive thoughts!

The fun part about this weekend is, my Grandmother is staying with us all weekend & will be in my sons room (we only have a 2 bedroom house)- therefore my 3 year old will be in our room. Is it terrible to put him on the floor after he is asleep, so we can, um, get to work?! LOL

YEAH!!!!!!!!! That is an awesome update. I know what you're doing this weekend! ;-)
