I'm back & random spotting

[kizzibea]

Hi.

I'm trying to get a bit more time online so I can catch up with people on here.

OH and me have been trying to do different things to keep it sort of interesting while we're trying. I've completely lost track of where and when I'm supposed to be so I thought we'd just see how we go until the end of the year (when we'll have been trying for a year) and then maybe go and see a doctor and start getting it all back on track with temping and checking cm stuff.

Last month we tried to do it every day but I got a bit sore and we both got colds so that sort of fell apart. This month I set him a challenge, we have to do it every other day and you can't do the same position two times in a row

We started during my period, I normally alternate between really heavy days and really light days so on the first really light day we did it. It didn't seem as long or as heavy this month but it went on for longer. I think the bding was drawing it out a bit. Normally I'm 6 days, sometimes 7 or if I'm really light the whole way then 5.

I started on the Friday before last (17th) so by the 24th I should've been done but there was still some brownish marks when I wiped so I used pads until Sunday and it was all gone by then. Sunday was our BDing day but on Monday morning we were really up for it and had the house to ourselves.

Later that day I noticed more brown marks on my underwear. So I stuck another pad in (which was really inconvenient because I'd used up all my frumpy period pants ) and there was nearly nothing on it by that evening so I took it out again when I went to bed.

Had work yesterday and when I went to the loo there were more marks on my underwear, hard to describe the colour sort of watery brown. There was nothing when I wiped and I didn't have any pads on me so I checked later on and they didn't get any worse.

I'm already confused about my dates and things but I know I shouldn't have had any more spotting after the 24th, so why am I still getting it. Or was getting it, it doesn't seem to show up when I wipe, it just comes out into my underwear and I don't know if it's happened since then because of the colour of my pants and the fact I don't always wear them in bed (didn't you want to know that? )

So, any suggestions gals? Could this be a sign of something?

Hiya, well I read all that through and I have to say I'm as confused as you are. But didnt want to read and not reply. Sorry not to be any help at all!

Hopefully the difference now is for good reasons. Maybe something is going on. People even have periods when pregnant, and of course there is the implantation bleeding, or maybe it's just a long period, which sucks. Will keep my fingers crossed for you!

Love your idea of trying different things each cycle - might give that a go with my hubby! Don't like things to get boring if we are focusing on ttc.
I sometimes get the spotting thing too but its usually around day 14 (which is weird cos I ovulate about a wk later) but its really annoying. I don't have any advice to offer but maybe just a strange period - I also had one of these last month that lasted ages but was light. If you get any more spotting might be worth doing a pg test (u never know!!!!) or going to docs if u are worried am sure everything is fine and dandy though xxxxx

Thanks girls. I had a weird one earlier in the year as well with a bit of spotting but it's not something that happens often so I'm not sure what to make of it.

Got a couple of weeks before I'd want to think about testing so I guess we'll see how it goes. I'm sure I might have had a bit again today but it's hard to tell.

TMI but I sometimes get brownish discharge at the end of my period in little patches...I think it is just the very last bits leaving your body...

Yeah could be implantation bleeding, fingers crossed for you!

Hey I'm impressed at the amount of times you are at it! Perhaps too often for good "quality" sperm. They recommend once every 3 days should be fine and more when at most fertile period. Have you been checking your ovulation? As for your bleeding you know your own body best so if its not normal routine then could be implantation bleeding! Best to not get any false hopes up and wait to test when next af is late. Good luck and lots of baby dust to you....and i mean a whole bucketful the amount of times you are bd ing lol

Flopsy - that's what I was thinking. Probably the bding disturbed it or drew it out a bit longer. I don't think there's been any more since the 29th.

I was temping way back at the beginning of the year and putting things into FF.com and it seemed to think I was oving. I'm planning on using OPKs next cycle - and we maybe won't do it so often (but we are quite enjoying this cycle OH will be disappointed next month)

I've not been paying much attention to my body the last couple of months and now it feels like I'm starting over again and everything is new and I can't remember if the way I feel is the way I normally feel or if it's a symptom or what! I'm going crazy.
