I just had some spots of brownish blood in my underwear and on the tissue and was wondering what this might be. I am on day 11 of my cycle and am waiting to O. Does anyone know what thsi might be? thanks

Since it was brown, it sounds to me like it was old blood leftover from AF. That is common pre O from what I hear. Hope that helped some!

Hope this is your month and you get that BFP!

thanks for your reply. It has now turned into a light period. I am on day 12 of my cycle! I don't know what my body is doing.

Our bodies certainly can throw us for a loop! I'm sorry to hear that light AF showed up. This sort of happened to me last cycle. Had the brownish blood on TP on CD17, continued very light for 3 days, then on CD21 got normal red AF. I was really bummed! Hoping this next cycle is back to normal 28-ish days. Good luck to you!

I never o'd this month and its only been two weeks since AF left and she is here again for me, too...I guess we just get a weird month now and then. Hope she doesn't stay long, for either of us. BTW, mine started with the brownish stuff, too.

thanks Kari I am glad you posted. I have been worried that there is something wrong with me. What cycle day were you on when you started bleeding again? I am also having some light af like cramps. Are you? Is yours lighter than normal too? This has never happened to me before.
