Before my period begins, I get spotting every month. It's pink/brown in colour. Sometimes red. It's been happening for over a year now. Alongside it I get cramping, especially in the lower abdomen, thighs and stabbing pains/aches that feel like they're inside my vagina. I also get pelvic twinges.
Then AF starts with full force and I'm in agony/heavy bleeding for the first two days then it trails off after around four days. Sometimes five. I a lot of breast pain prior to the period too.
I'm wondering if there's something going on like low progesterone. I've been TTC since end of June, so we're now on month four and AF is showing her face again with the same symptoms as mentioned above. It's a normal pattern for me now, but doesn't make it any easier for me. I wonder if this is why I can't get pregnant too.
Any advice or help is appreciated
