Little AF bleeding- thin uterine lining?

Hi, ladies!
DH and I have been TTC for 19 months, and I am on my 4th cycle of Clomid with 100 mg this cycle.

Hi there...sorry about your past m/c.
I don't know much about Clomid yet (I'm supposed to start next cycle) but I thought I'd jump in here. My last period was supposedly early, because it appears that I O'ed late. I only had a 10 or 11 day LP where last month I had a 14 day LP. That might not seem like a huge difference but I noticed instantly that my period was different. It was very light, with only one day of real bleeding. There was spotting, then spotting and a really really light flow, one day of medium flow, and then it was on its way out. That is highly unusual for me. As a matter of fact, the past few months my period has been so heavy that it was alarming. Last cycle, if I didn't stop bleeding (I was going through a pad every 20 mins - soaked! Sorry I know that's TMI) she was going to send me to the ER. So to all of a sudden see such a short light period was bizarre. My NP said that its very possible that this is because my period was early and I just didn't have my usual uterine lining buildup.
So....I'm not doctor, but to me it does seem to make sense that a short, really light period can have to do with the uterine lining buildup, and I would think that can definitely affect implantation. If you are concerned, I would bring this to the doc's attention ASAP.
GL and HTH!!!

Clomid definitely has an affect on your uterine lining, making it thinner. My lining is thin (from previous d&c's and scar tissue) so I take baby aspirin, coQ10 and drink red raspberry leaf tea. It seems to help.
I would definitely ask your OB or RE about it to see what they think!
Thank you both for your responses.

Hey Kara,
I wanted to tell you that I have been wondering the same thing! My af started on Sun and was pretty much over by Tues.
Hey, Britt!
So, the girls in the pp made me feel a little better, my case is totally different.

Well, Jennifer, I am not GLAD that you are having the same problem of not being able to conceive again just yet, but I am comforted to know that you are experiencing the same thing.
