Spotting followed by AF most times, anyone then had spotting followed by BFP?

Hello all, firstly I'd like to say I've been a lurker on here since I started ttc and I have found this forum to be my saviour at times (never knew how mad this would send me!) so thanks to everyone for helping me so far.

I've been trying for 14 months, both myself and dp have had initial tests done and everything came back as normal, no further action.

Some months I get a bit of spotting before my AF is due (an irritating warning that the witch is on her way). I just wanted to know, has anyone had this before but instead of their AF showing after spotting they got their BFP?

Any help/advice/examples will be appreciated!

What tests have you both had done to date?. It sounds like you have not been investigated thoroughly enough, what did they say about the spotting for instance?. I ask this as spotting between periods should always be checked out further. Sometimes it is due to cervical erosion or perhaps low progesterone levels.

Thanks for that! I'll take a look. I don't get spotting every month but when I do I try not to think it might be implantation as when AF turns up it's just so upsetting. This time though my AF has usually arrived by now following the spotting, but I'm trying so hard not to get excited this time. Think I'm just having a super long cruel cycle!

Have a read on another thread I am on "newbies an experts" a few of us have a moan on there and a BFP was put on yesterday where spotting was mistaken for AF!
