Trying to Get Pregnant

Does period flow affect TTC??

I have no clue if the flow of you cycle connects to TTC.  I have very light periods - can go the hole day only using 2 pads.  My periods last about 3-4 days, with the last day being just spotting.  Does this affect anything with TTC??  I'm apologize if this has ever been asked before.  JUst wondering if it is something I should be concerned about.

Re: Does period flow affect TTC??

  • No, it doesn't have much to do with TTC. Sometimes annovulatory bleeding is lighter than a real period, but if you're charting and know you're ovulating then it's not an issue. If you have very heavy flow, it can be indicative of a problem but not necessarily. :)

  • I'm in this same boat. I'm interested in what others have to say! You may check the responses in my question a few posts down as well. Also, I'm going to the doctor tomorrow and I will be bringing this up, so I'll update you tomorrow on what he says if you would like!

    I wish I would have seen your post before posting mine...it's nice to see someone who can connect with what your going through.  I'd love to hear what happens tomorrow.  Good Luck!!!

  • I've always wondered this as well, but have never heard anything that indicates a lighter flow is harmful to TTC as long as you are ovulating.

    Bride0309, I'd be interested to hear if your DR confirms this.

  • length of your period does not matter. I would have 2 days of light flow and 2 days of spotting and we were blessed to get our bfp. i hope this eases your mind a little bit and hope you get your bfp soon!
