I am hoping there are a few Clomid experts out there who might be able to help me with my current predicament.
I have been waiting a year for fertility treatment since a miscarriage last October left me infertile. I've finally got to the month where I can start Clomid (and have the tablets), but am having THE most bizarre cycle ever. Due to low progesterone, I generally have a bit of spotting before AF kicks in for real. However, I usually always experience some bright red blood loss even when the flow is light - and AF always gets going properly after a couple of days at the very most. I'm not regular as clockwork, but I can generally expect AF every 28 - 31 days. This cycle nothing happened until day 33. I thought AF had arrived but there was never anything more than very slight dark brown, stringy spotting (sorry TMI, I know, but it's the only way I can describe it
). I'm now on cd36 and have experienced this spotting for 4 days. Occasionally, it's pink and watery, but never red. There's no flow. I've never needed more than a pantyliner and the only time it's ever come close to looking like AF is just after I've been to the bathroom. However, it soon stops again afterwards. Again sorry for TMI!
I'm supposed to take Clomid from day 2 to 6, but I'm at a total loss as to where to start counting from. My Consultant told me to treat day 2 of spotting as cd2 since AF always eventually gets going, but this is so unlike a period that I decided against it. I'm now worried that I've missed the opportunity this month. I did wonder if, by some miracle, this was implantation bleeding. I've already done 2 negative HPTs, but a very similar thing happened when I was pg with my DS and I didn't get a positive until nearly 2 weeks after the spotting. I'm going out of my mind with this. I do think the spotting is maybe too significant for implantation, but wondered if taking Clomid at this point could cause problems if I am actually pregnant? Any advice would be gratefully received.
