As the title says really.
I have sometimes up to a week of very very light spotting before AF which is a symptom of low progesterone. We have been TTC for a few months now and have been trying to eat more spinach and squash seeds and fruit/veg in general but still spotted for 6 days this cycle.
Any tips to naturally increase progesterone levels...... TIA x

Can I ask what your spotting is like? I came off the pill in October and this is the first month I've started spotting from about 10dpo. Have kept wondering if it's implantation because it's been very dark brown and only tiny amounts on and off but now it's been for 4 days ish so I'm thinking it's definitely more likely to be a slow build up to AF.x

Hi, my spotting is very very light and on and off when I wipe (sorry TMI) for between 1 and 6 days before AF comes. I have been to drs and had a scan etc and they diagnosed low progesterone.

Thanks for the info. Is it red blood?
