Brown Spotting

I had brown spotting last sunday that lasted a few hrs. I had no idea what it was. I have never had anything like this before. When I woke up this morning, I am having it again. It's not showing up on underwear or anything only after I go to the bathroom do I see it. It's not very much at all, only a faint amount. Any idea what this could be?

Also, my nipples have been sore. not my whole breasts. I have been tired. I also have an itchy rash on my stomach. We have been ttc for 3 months now. AF is due in another week and a half.... any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I am kinda worried as to what this could be. thanks :)

Hi, it could be what is called implantation bleeding. It varies in amount and women usually think it is their period early, but if you have benn trying ti have a baby, then that is more than likely what it is. Wait to see if AF comes and if she doesn't then test, you very well might be. This is a good thing I guess? good luck and I hope it all works out for you. K

Hi thanks for answeirng me :) we have been trying for 3 mos to have a baby. I have never had any kind of spotting before like this. I had the brown spotting this morning for a few minutes then it went away and I don't have it now. I am afraid to test too early so I agree to wait till its time for AF and if she doesn't show then I will test. oh and yes its a good thing if I am :) I really want a baby so does my husband. thanks and good luck to you too!

I am having the same as you and am in the same boat. LOL For me though I have to have cancer surgery on the 3rd so I have to know whether I am or not, did one test and a big -,so I'm waiting until either the 28th or the 1st to test this time. Everyone seems to think I tested too early, but I have the same symtoms you do....so good luck to us!!! LOL
