Spotting ?

Hi all! Quick update, I'm 11dpo, bfn yesterday, and have had brown spotting since 7dpo, which happens like clockwork for me regardless of the 100mg 2x a day of progesterone suppositories. They don't truly think I have a LPD, so any insight in why I, and I'm sure others, are so lucky to deal with bleeding for two weeks every month? No fibroids, no cysts, no polyps, just awesome spotting. Could it be related to a lining issue? I had a 6c lining on cd12 if it matters. Thanks ladies!

BFFP Saw 1 beautiful heartbeat at 6w6d, follow up u/s at 9w showed mmc. Eff this.
NTNP 5/2014-9/2014, OPKs and TI 10/2014 - 1/2015.

Re: Spotting ?

  • I had spotting so I started the supplements. Since you already are in them I'd ask your Dr. The supplements stopped my spotting.

    I had spotting my first two cycles of progesterone... but I was only doing 100 mg 1x per day. My RE upped it to 2x per day and that stopped the spotting, but I've still had a couple of cycles where AF started without me stopping the suppositories. I guess that b---- was on a mission to do her own thing! :)  I'd call your RE to let him/her know about this. Good luck to you!

  • Well sometimes if you put the suppositories up too far it can bump your cervix and make you spot.  I've had that before. I don't know.
    TTC #2 since June 2011 Me: 35 High FSH, hypothyroidism DH: 36 Borderline low sperm count HSG revealed polyp, surgery 9/12 IUI #1 10/18/12 - BFP! 3 follicles 6 million post wash sperm no heartbeat 12/7/12 D & C 12/11/12
  • I don't have any advice, but just wanted to say I have this same issue.  I usually start spotting a week before AF shows up.  This cycle, I started spotting at 5dpo and am still spotting on 14dpo (10 days of spotting!).  They've tested my progesterone a couple of times at 7dpo, and it's been fine.  My RE says the spotting shouldn't affect implantation, but I am still worried about it.  I can't tell if he is blowing me off or not!

    Good luck to you!

    That's exactly how I feel! I just have this gut feeling that if we could get this spotting under control we would be able to conceive. I'm going to call tomorrow to see if they think it would be worth it to increase to 3x a day this cycle. Otherwise I want to explore other supplement options next cycle.
    Thanks for everyone's input!
