Do you get spotting before AF / period? Come and talk to me here

Hello Ladies,
Any good news here?
I got pregnant again and it ended (again) in being a chemical pregnancy :(

Thanks @Morgane777 & @Michelle122

@Michelle122 @Bubblybub @orangeloo Thanks for your support! Honestly, it is helpful!
@Michelle122 it is true that we never imagine this TTC journey would be hard!
@orangeloo that is wonderful news! You are more fertile now for sure, as HYFOSY "cleans" your tubes!
I hope for a lot of fertility to us all this month! And best wishes for all those already waiting for their little angel!

That is great piece of mind @orangeloo to know they are clear I got my bfp 3 months after hsg all was clear also and not painful.
Good luck ♥

@Morgane777 so sorry lovely, that is so crap. Fx for your next BFP very soon.
It was quite uncomfy but tubes aren't blocked which is good. FX for being more fertile hopefully in the next few months. X

I’m so sorry @Morgane777 :( that sucks xx

So so sorry to hear this
Take care of yourself @Morgane777
Who knew it could be this hard
Sending love ♥

@orangeloo how did HYFOSY go?

@Bubblybub @orangeloo @Michelle122 Thank you very much! Sadly, the happiness didn't last long. BFPs turned slowly into BFNs and I started to lose pregnancy symptoms (my boobs stopped hurting) and finally I bled. It was a chemical
Well, it was devastating but I know that is something that happens a lot. We'll continue working hard for a new BFP soon!
A lot of baby dust for us all!

CONGRATULATIONS Morgane777
HAPPY AND HEALTHY 9 MONTHS!
wishing everyone 2 lines soon ..!
Sending love x

Hey @Morgane777 huge congratulations! That's great news! I think medicated IUI will be my next step if I don't fall naturally in next few months (after HYFOSY today) so good to know your protocol as reference point too. Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months xx

Congratulations!!!!

Hello Ladies,
After three inseminations, I finally got my BFP this weekend!!! DH and I are so happy!! This is my first pregnancy and I hope everything will be OK!

Here is what worked for me:
Letrozole from days 2 to 6
Gonal-F on day 5
Ultrasound showing three follicles on day 10
Ovitrel on day 10
Intrauterine insemination on day 11

I'm wishing you a BFP soon as well!

@Bubblybub @orangeloo I'm also on a lot of vitamins. I don't know how many pills I take every day... I'm on Coq10, prenatal vitamins, Folic Acid, Omega 3, Vitamin D.... I hope this will help with my egg quality.
@SpotterofN0te Congratulations on your pregnancy! Thanks a lot for coming here and sharing your story!
@Michelle122 Sorry to read about your miscarriage. It seems that Clomid or Letrozole is first protocol indeed. Then I think the doctors start adding some other stuff. They try to start as less as invasive and expensive as possible. I also got a prescription for Gonal F this month. It is more expensive than the other ones, but I hope this will help.

Spotting has definitely stopped for me since I'm on Letrozole and Progesterone.

Thanks for response. x
I am not in uk
So have been on 3 round of clomid start of 2019 then nothing for few months then Letz for 2 months got bfp that was mmc. I do ov on my own so dunno whether clomid or Letz do much but seems To be first protacol. Had hsg all clear bloods done lots Dr's happy. Dh has 4% morph and 20 dna within range but I don't know. Its all very depressing and sad.
Went to another fert clinic last week just to hve experience eye on my bloods and situation all he did was give me script for gonal f injections 😔 so maybe will try that next cycle. I did mention to him about spotting took no interest then was on the phone to him and said again about spotting he said its "fine" 😐
Sending love ♥

Hi @Michelle122 nice to read your story. sorry about your miscarriage and having a crap time. I can def relate to the crap time in general haha. Prog did not stop me spotting either. FX for us all. Where do u stand with nhs fertility referral?

Just want to add I'm trying
procieve vits this month
red raspberry leaf tea, castor oil pack up to ov, abdominal massage, maca, Coq10, selenium, evening p oil till ov.
Oh and seed cycling
Just to see will it help. I'm officially crazy 🤪 what ttc does to a women.
Will update if works. Sending love ♥

Hi all great to find such a lengthy thread on this. My background ttc since Aug 18 I too spot 🤔 anywhere from 8dpo up to af have constant lp of 12/13 days. Spotting consists of TMI pink mucous or brown mucous or tan coloured blood brown blood or brown stringy bits all varies.
I have see 3 GPS 2 fertility experts no one concerned with spotting..!! But I am.
I did get a bfp I was on letrozole and duphaston which is prog 3 tabs. the month I got bfp I did spot 8dpo as usual up to 12 dpo and got bfp. Unfortunately ended in mmc at 11 weeks my angel baby stopped at 6/7 weeks devesating after ttc a year apx.
So prog did not stop my spotting?
7dp ovul bloods ranged from 28 to 45 I have amh of 9 at 33. This is such a difficult journey for all. Ttc 6 months again after mmc 😔 god give me hope and strength

Mine has been anything from brown, bit stringy to a gush of red (couple of months I thought I was getting AF early). This month it was mostly v light brown and then turned light and pinky/brown when AF was due. x

Yep mine was always brown and sometimes stringy! Was always quite thick rather then watery x

@SpotterofN0te @Bubblybub congrats both of you! ☺️

Can I ask a bit of a gross question, when you ladies talk of spotting are you talking brown or pink? Mines always brown and sometimes a bit stringy which always lead me to believe it was old lining coming out?

Thank you so much @orangeloo! Sending you much luck and positivity! x

@SpotterofN0te massive congratulations and big thanks too for taking the time to post. I really really need to see these stories . Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy x

Hi Everyone,
A major lurker of spotting threads here... Just wanted to say it's possible to get a BFP (got mine yesterday) even if you're still spotting throughout luteal phase and have endo. I have been ttc 8/9 months age 37. Was spotting consistently from 5DPO every month (including this month) until AF after coming off BC last August.
This month I was convinced I was out, and the spotting continued lightly until I realised I was 2 days late. Then BOOM BFP (I almost didn't bother to test). It's now subsiding and I'm still in shock.
I took prenatal vits, evening primrose (def helped CM) and just chilled out a bit this month. I was meant to see a gynae back in Feb for tests but then Covid happened. Just wanted to give others out there some positive vibes, as I was getting pretty worried and looking for this sort of story. GOOD LUCK ALL!

@Morgane777 I've been ttc18 months. Only progesterone treatment wise, as I do ovulate. having a tubes teated next week. And nhs fertility referral ball starts rolling in August but waiting lists will be a while.
