Hola ladies...Here's my question for you fellow spotters!

I usually do spot a few days before AF - I'm talking like maybe 2-3 of light pinkish, light reddish - off and on - and then pow - big whammie with flow after that.

Last period was Aug. 26th (spotted 3 days prior) and on Sept. 16th I started getting light faint spotting and I've had that pretty much every day since (not EVERY time but maybe once a day) and yet, no AF and BFN ---- well, really, AF is due today or tomorrow more or less since I'm usually a 28-29 cycle.

My concern is ----- since I'm pretty much writing this month off for a BFP (although I was soooooo hopeful with the spotting early on figuring it was implantation)....WHAT is going on with the spotting since Sept. 16th???!!!!

Have you spotters spotted for this long when you spot? (hee hee - little Dr. Suess for you there) Any feedback/two cents you can give is much much appreciated :-) Sister Spotty over here.....

with DS I didn't think I was pg because I started spotting too....I was though and spotted on and off throughout 1st trimester. He was 9lbs. 4oz....big from the word go so that's why I spotted acording to gyn. Hope this helps.....

I don't usually spot before AF, but I am a mid-cycle spotter. For the last four cycles, the spotting started around day 14 and lingers for three days. But during cycle 3, the spotting lasted for three weeks! I believe that may have been an anovulatory cycle.

Sorry, this doesn't help any, but I wanted you to know you're not alone with spotting a lot.

I had never spotted mid-cycle before, but this cycle (C4) I did starting around CD14 and it also lasted for 3 days. How wierd!? I was hoping this was a good sign, but now I am not sure. I am on CD28 and hoping for AFSA today. So far she has, but my cycles have vaired. I posted a message when it happened, but didn't get any real answers on why. Oh well, at least we know we aren't alone. Sometimes, that is all that helps us stay sane!


c1-27days

c2-28days

c3-31days (no O - OPK didn't ever show + and no O pain)

c4-28days and waiting.....



GOOD LUCK this cycle to all of you!

Hi there,

Just wanted to let you know that I spot every month from 7 - 10 days past ovulation until my actual period comes. Some months it is for 3 days and some it is for 8. This has gone on ever since I stopped the pill 3 years ago - my docotor has told me that she thinks it is because I have a low progesterone level and because of this the uterous lining starts to shed early. It may be something you want to look into.

Hope this helps
