Hi!
I always had spotting or pink wipes a day or two before I got AF. I think it's actually pretty common, a sign she's on her way. On Fertility Friend (the website) they specify to count AF day 1 as the first day of real flow, not spotting which would also indicate it's pretty common with regular cycles. I've been fortunate to never have a miscarriage (due to low progesterone or other reasons) and have carried one pregnancy to term and am 7 months into my next. Try not to worry - I know, easier said than done. The trouble with these 'x' COULD be a sign of 'y' is that 'x' could also be nothing at all different from normal. Also - I had a little spotting a couple days before my BFP on this pregnancy & was convinced that AF was on her way, my only tip off was that AF didn't follow. Hope this calms your confusion/worries.

Hi Karen. I get that every cycle. It starts anywhere from 2-4 days before first day

Hi Karen,


You could always ask your Doctor todo a blood test to check your progesterone levels.


My Doctor is checking mine this cycle.

Hi there!


Just wanted to say that the pre-AF spotting happens to me every cycle also.
