Spotting before period - magnesium and B6 supplements?

0 replies

So I’m wanting to think about starting TTC baby number 4. And typically my last 3 cycles I have started having spotting for 3-5 days before my period actually seems to start. I’ve felt hormonally quite off since DD (now 13 months) and really felt they were back on track until we started thinking about when to go for the 4th and final baby! Recently had a smear and no other obvious issues besides some AWFUL mood swings last cycle 😖

Basically lots of research has led me to believe it’s low progesterone related, and it seems taking a magnesium glycinate supplement and a B6 supplement may help. Any one with similar spotting issue tried this with success? I am reluctant to self medicate as much but will probably be laughed out of a GP appointment. TIA
