Spotting 10 days before period / 5 dpo

Any advice ladies about what I should do about my screwed up body.

I had a ERPC for a mmc on 17 November

Last month (first AF post ERPC) I had light spotting starting about 9 days before. I had been doing ovulation tests and this was 4/5 dpo (smiley face). I had bloods done 7 dpo and the progesterone level was 36.1 -so normal. I put it down to first cycle post ERPC and was pleased that I had a heavish period to clear out and continued ttc

Well the spotting has happened this month exactly the same time post ovulation 4/5dpo - today I am 9dpo and still have some spotting and if it is like last month it will continue until AF on Wed. I have done a first response test yesterday and am not pregnant.

Any one else have this?

Shall I go to the Drs once AF has finished and explain the above or should I be brave and give it one more cycle and see if the spotting comes again and do some more sneaky bloods at work

Hi, since my mc I started spotting 5 days before af. Through acupuncture, vit b complex 50 and agus castus it's gone down to about 3 days. Actually last month it was only 2 days and much less than usual. It has taken 6 months to get to this point and time will prob help you, as my first 2 cycles after mc were completely screwed up before settling down a little. I'm finally going for bloods now but if i was you I'd do them again sneakily as progesterone can fluctuate a little I think. Btw if you are spotting because of low prog, agnus castus apparently helps the body produce its own. If you're ttc I think you should only take it up to ovulation. Good luck x
