Midcycle Spotting???

I'm on CD17 and just got a bit of light brown spotting... enough to wear a panty liner for, but it didn't last long. I am not supposed to ovulate until around the end of this month, as my cycles are extra long (or were before my miscarriage anyway) and
I've been doing opks every few days just to make sure I don't miss it if I ovulate early.

It is my first cycle after my miscarriage (CD1 was my first period after the MC), but I never used to get mid cycle spotting. It can't be implantation bleeding since I can't have ovulated that early (plus we only bd twice...), and it can't be ovulation bleeding since I shouldn't have ovulated yet... anyone have anything similar happen to them? I guess I just wait and keep tracking my cycle, but I am just worried because I am hoping there isn't anything weird going on with my cycles.

First cycle after MC? Anything can be happening. I had a few really short cycles between my MC and subsequent pregnancy. I also have had mid-cycle spotting relating to a polyp between my first two kids. I tended to get it more on days I worked out hard... have you worked out lately?

Yes it is. Thanks for your response. I guess I will just have to wait and see. I started OPKs immediately after my period ended, got three days of pale lines so stopped testing. Tested 2 days later and line was darker not as dark as control line. Didn't test for a week and just did and have no line now. Soooo confused. I did work out 3 days ago though. I guess I shouldn't have just assumed my cycle would be the same as before. Thanks for the reply, good to know your cycles were different after your miscarriage.

I contacted my OB when I had weird bleeding and she said what I expected - if it continues 2 more cycles let me know... but its always worth checking with your MD who knows more about your history.

Oh okay sweet. Thanks. I'll talk to my OB of it continues, but in the meantime it's good to know anything could happen because of the miscarriage.

I had mid cycle spotting about 3 weeks after my D&C. I figured it was an anovulatory cycle and eventually counted the start of spotting as CD1, which cleaned up my charts nicely. I just figured with the first cycle that almost anything could be considered normal.

Right after my miscarriage I would bleed after workout but it was bright red and didn't last but for a few hours.   My cycles were wonky until about the 5th cycle afterwards.  I'm pretty sure I missed O the first cycle because I didn't start testing right after period I waited until FW.  After that cycle I started OPK day AF stopped. I'm now on the 6th cycle and feel like I'm normal again

Did you track your HCG down to 0? My opks picked up HCG as low as 15.

Thank you so much for your replies ladies. @justsuzie I tracked my HCG down to 2, so I do know it has gone down. Crazy your OPKs could pick up that low of a level!

hopefully you regulate soon!  The not knowing is the worst part.
