Hoping over from the ttc boards to ask a question for those who have had their bfps and usually had pre AF spotting:

  • did you have your usual pre-AF spotting before your bfp or did you have none at all?

My first pregnancy (ended in mc) I didn't have any of my usual spotting but wondered what others experiences were?

I did actually, so was convinced it wasn't my month - was very surprised by the outcome.

@ihaveoflate this gives me hope! As I always consider myself out when I get any spotting but I know that some people still get their normal spotting!

I usually spot before AF, but didn't when I got my BFP. It was a bit of a clue early on!

I used to spot for 3-5 days before AF (brown/bright red). The month I conceived It started like usual (bright red!) but tailed off after a day or 2 which is what made me test.

Good luck :)

I didn't usually get spotting but the day my AF was due I wiped and had a bit of watery blood so assumed AF was starting. Tested 4 days later and got a positive. Must have been implantation.

Hi was just looking up posts about spotting
I spot every month from 8dpo or 9dpo till af which is always 12/13dpo.
Spotting is anything from TMI..... pink or brown mucous to brown sticky Blood.
Was ttc a year got bfp and spotted as usual from 8dpo got bfp 12dpo then spotting stopped
Unfortunately ended in mmc at 6.5 weeks found out at 11.5weeks rip Angel baby.
Ttc now 6 cycles since mmc spotting is still here getting af today I think so feel so sad. But I don't think spotting is an issue with getting bfp.
I've seen 3 GPS and 2 fertility specialist and no one was concerned?
Wishing you all strength wow this is so tough 😔

Thought I’d just add to this post incase anyone is still lurking...I’ve spotted before AF every month since coming off the pill 5 years ago. This month I still spotted but I just got my BFP on CD29 :)
