AF is due today. BFN this morning. Started spotting at 11 this morning but no real "flow". Can progesterone cause this? I'm hoping it's implantation bleeding but I seriously doubt it. Any thoughts? TMI: When I wipe, I see a little tinge of pink but nothing else.

Re: Progesterone causing spotting?
I usually spot a couple days before my AF. Progesterone or not.
This month I only had a little bloody mucous for 2 days and no AF and went on provera and STILL no AF, so we just went ahead with a new cycle.
He told me my lack of menses could be from low estrogen, not saying this is your situation, just sharing.
I hope you get some answers soon

It's the most frustrating thing, isn't it? Since I had DD, I also spot as you described just before AF arrives. And I ALWAYS think it could be implantation b/c of the pink-ness. My fingers are crossed for you that you are wrong and it IS implantation! GL!

I had massive spotting my BFP cycle. A big, bright red clot the day before my positive beta. That was 5 days before Af was due, but I was on progesterone suppositories.
I'm not usually a spotter before AF though. I'd know that she was coming because my temps would start to fall.

Thanks but I started full flow today. I have never spotted before AF so I guess the progesterone changed that.
