Worried about so much spotting before AF

I am getting worried about this long spotting time before AF acutally arrives in full force. I am wondering how this might affect TTC, and if there is anything I can do. If anyone has had cycles like this, I would like to hear from you.

This month I started spotting at CD24, 9DPO and am still spotting CD27. See my chart:

Please help me :-(

I have the same situation. I spot for about 5 days before I go to a heavy flow for the last 5 months. I have always had a normal period until I started trying. My doctor says it normal and relax. Easier said than done. I have been trying for the last 5 months. I hoping this is the month. Trying not to get my hopes up though. GOOD LUCK!

Hi Amie,

I also spot four or five days before AF is due and I asked my doctor about it. She thinks that I may have low progesterone levels and is going to test my blood on CD21. One month I didn't spot practically at all and my period was late and so she figured I had an early m/c because of the progesterone levels. She said I could use progesterone suppositories or start on Clomid. I would ask your doctor to get a blood test and see if it may be the same thing.

Good luck to you and could you please tell me if it turns out to be the same thing or a different analysis? Thanks!

Thank you to you both, I am glad I'm not alone. Jenn, your chart and cycle looks so much like mine that it's uncanny! Both spotting on CD24, 9DPO! And your temp also doesn't drop when your'e spotting. That got my hopes up this month in thinking it might be implantation bleeding, but in my heart I knew better. Darn that AF.

Thank you both!
