Spotting before AF

3 replies

Has anyone experienced spotting before AF and managed to concieve? I'm thinking it must be a result of my progesterone dropping too soon. My luteal phase is on the shorter side of 11 days. But last month I started spotting at 8dpo. This month even worse, I had spotting at 6dpo! Have been ttc for 11 months now and had 2 back to back early miscarriages at the beginning of the year. I'm wondering If I need to try and get on progesterone. I've had it tested twice at 7dpo and it was around 52, so absolutely fine. But clearly it's dropping very soon after.

Yes had a short luteal phase of 10/11 days and could start spotting from 3/4 dpo. The month I conceived after 5 months of trying no spotting

I had a shortish - 11 day - luteal phase, sometimes with spotting at day 9 or 19. Good quality magnesium supplements lengthened it to 13 or 14 days. I conceived month 5 of trying and I think 2 months after taking magnesium. It’s still early days for me but I think the magnesium did help regulate my hormones a bit and also massively reduced my period pains. So might be worth a try!
