Help! Spotting before AF!

Hi


I hope you don't mind me posting here! I am from the ivillage UK site and I am just wondering how common spotting before AF is?


A few ladies on the UK site get it....I always have it and I sometimes get worried.


I usually have some very dark yellow/beige coloured CM at 8DPO (this lasts a day and then nothing until 11DPO)

It's definitely possible to get pg with spotting before AF arrives. I'm pretty sure that most women have at least a day of brown spotting (myself included) prior to AF. Don't stress it, girl! You're normal! GL!!

I spot pre-AF also - the dark brown spotting is old blood (gross, I know!) that is being discharged. This could also happen at implantation.


My dr did tell me also that some women experiance this "spotting" or discharge the first few months of pregnancy around the same time AF would be there had they not gotten pregnant.


If you are really worried about it not being good for you, consult your dr.


Hope this helped!

It's definitely possible! With my daughter, I spotted for several days and then had actual menstrual-like flow for several days, followed by more spotting. It was so much that I was sure it was my period, but I actually was pregnant. This started at 6 days past ovulation.

I truly don't think you have anything to worry about! It seems pretty common to have some days of spotting before your regular period begins.
