Spotting before periods

[Timetotry123]

I am now convinced after 12months TTC that my spotting is to do with me not getting a bfp. The doctor didn’t seem concerned when I mentioned it . I’ve been taking B6 for 8 weeks to try and help with the spotting I didn’t start spotting this cycle until cd27 which is maybe 3 or 4 days later than it has been. What else can I try whilst I wait on my referral to hospital. Has anyone used Progesterone Cream? How do you use it is it only for a certain time each month. I’m so disheartened I feel so low that every month af is showing up. I’m nearly 34 so time is ticking :-(

Do you know what is causing the spotting? I spot for several days before AF due to cervical erosion, I hate it because it gives me false hope of implantation when it starts!

Hi,
I’ve had pre-period spotting from around cd24 (28 day cycle usually) since I came off the pill 4 years ago. I too was worried that this was preventing me conceiving but I fell pregnant after 3 months of trying. When I fell pregnant, my usual pre-bleeding never happened.

No I don’t know what causes it, I have said to the doctor but she said it wasn’t of concern but I have a feeling it’s the issue. It started not long after I came off the pill around 20 months ago. I have been referred to the hospital but it will probably take a while to be seen. I’m happy to hear you managed to get pregnant after 3 months :) for me it’s been 12 months and I do everything right at the right times so I’m guessing something is up. Just so disheartening and everyone around me seems to be pregnant.

I know how you feel. My pregnancy ended at 12 weeks so I’m back on the TTC wagon and it’s sooo frustrating when the pre-bleed comes after I’ve worked so hard to do all the right things only a week before! Barely ever get to do a pregnancy test as the pre-bleed always tells me that my period is on its way. I hope you get some answers soon - let us know.

Sorry to hear that, Thanks, yes I’m the same never had to do a pregnancy test. Hopefully get my referral soon.
