hello!
any help please
I get spotting 4-7 days before my period every month and have done for years. All my tests are normal.
i am now ttc and would love to hear some good news stories about people who spot but managed to have successful pregnancies!
my anxiety is through the roof!
thank you

I fell pregnant month after hcg tubal test which was all fine and can increase chance of conceiving.

Hi thanks for commenting. Did you have the same spotting issue? What is the hcg tubal test?

Yes I did and still spotted month I fell pregnant but proper period didn't start which made me take a test. Must have been implantation bleeding.

It took 11 months for me but not related to the spotting, DP had an issue
I dont think the spotting impacted my ability to get pregnant. As above I was never given a reason for it and just thought it was one of those things
Good luck OP

@Kbaby21So I have PCOS which was part of the problem re conceiving but I think our main problem was my husband’s low sperm motility. I was never given a reason for the spotting though taking progesterone post ovulation did help my daughter to stick.

I always spotted 4-5 days before period and continued before and after pregnancy. Some spotting early pregnancy but stopped

Great thank you. How long did it take to to conceive and did you take anything to help with the spotting?

Yes, eventually, but we had other issues as well. Strangely the spotting has stopped since I gave birth 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you. Do you think those issues caused the spotting? I’ve heard a couple of people now saying the spotting stopped after conceiving which is great news. Do you think the spotting caused any issues for you conceiving?
