Sporadic spotting as a period?

Gargoylemel · March 2016

Last week my "period" consisted of sporadic spotting, and at times 12 hours with no spotting.

I have only started actively ttc last month so don't chart. I have been going according to cycle length, which had been consistent at 28 days for the past year.

Now I am in a pickle, would I be right in assuming that last week was the first week of my cycle?

Have you taken an hpt, @Gargoylemel ??!!!
Spotting can be a sign of implantation

If you are not pg I wouldn't count that as AF. Fertility Friend App counts the first day of your period as the first day of actual bleeding, spotting doesn't count.

Hopeful for you! Keep us posted!

Thanks for the response. I have taken a few hpts, all negative.

To be on the safe side will make sure to get busy in the bedroom this week ☺

@gargoylemel is that a typical occurrence for you with only spotting and not having an actual flow with AF?
I would definitely talk to your dr about that, sounds like you would benefit from having your hormones tested.

Have you been under more stress than usual or did you start a new work out routine? Those can both cause what you describe, but would be a sign that you probably aren't ovulating....happened to me one summer when I went from not doing anything physical to swimming every day.

Hey

It isn't a normal occurrence, which is why I don't know what to make of it. I contacted my Dr, who basically told me to wait to see if it is a trend. So not all that helpful.

As far as I know there has been no change in my life to cause a change in my cycle. The only stress / pressure I am under is the Dr giving me 3 months to fall pregnant before she starts prescribing clomed. Hence me being anxious ☺
