Do you spot before AF?

If so, how many days? What does your dr say about it?

Lately I've been spotting for about 3 days before starting and I never used to. My dr doesn't seem concerned, but I think it's weird since I never did before.

Re: Do you spot before AF?

  • I usually spot for about a day or two before AF comes, however on Clomid AF just showed up with no spotting to warn me.

    I never talked to my dr about it... I didn't think there was anything out of the ordinary about it.

  • I usually spot a little bit the day before my period starts.  If it's a change that you aren't comfortable with, maybe you would want to press for more answers from your doctor or seek a second opinion.  I've been told to go with my gut in regards to IF.  Good luck!

  • I didn't use to when I cycled on my own but now I do about a day before....

    I know how you feel though - the last two cycles (one on femara and one unmedicated) I have been spotting past AF...this NEVER happened before but my docs seem unconcerned....of course this is freaking me out....

  • Yes, I have since I was about 25. I'm 31 now. I spot for sometimes up to a week before AF comes. Very annoying. Ive been tested for everything and my RE can't find anything wrong other than she suspects my progesterone is not adaquate even though my progesterone levels are completely normal. Its weird, I agree and very frustrating. The only remedy is to go on bcp or do vag suppositories of progesterone in my lutueal phase. I have been doing the latter since ive had TTTC.

  • Yes, a lot. 7-10 days prior to AF. I do have lower 7dpo progesterone levels and my dr. put me on suppositories, but they don't really seemed super concerned or interested in it. And mine is quite excessive....so it's different than your situation. I've always ready 1-2 days can be normal.

  • I normally spot 7-10 days prior to AF.  I have really low progesterone levels though.  This last cycle I was on clomid for the first time and there was no spotting at all.
