spotting before af and luthal phase??

[babyg]

Hey girls

I hope everyone is ok, I've been trying not to log on as much these days as its been making time go slow.

Well the witch got me again......but I was kind of expecting it as I think I may have ov on CD18 as I had a really sharp pain on my right hand lower tummy this day, bf was unwell with a nasty bug which I then caught so we didn't have now bd from CD18-CD22.

Anyway what I wanted to ask was if I did ov on CD18 and I started spotting on CD26 (my cycles have been like this since off the pill-spotting for 3-5 days before AF) does this mean I have a short luthal phase (7days)because I've started to spot?

My last two cycles have been 30 day cycles with spotting 4-5 days before af soo if I am ov on CD18 and I wasn't spotting before af my luthal phase is still only 12days.

hi i am the same as you, always have spotting. a short leutal phase can be a sign of progesterone deficiency. only way to knwo for sure is to get a 21day blood test to check progesterone levels. i don;t really know much more than that sorry.

 

[Bellarina]

hi hun im sorry but i cant really offer any advice on this as i dont tend to spot before af, witch just comes with a vengence first day usually lol

sorry to hear she got you tho hunxxx

Hi hun sounds like you deffo have a lutal phase problem. I would try the vitamin B supplement from day 1 of period & drink green tea from day 1 of af till the day you stop bleeding, that should help to give you a longer cycle i.e longer lutal phase & will help you have a proper flow insted of spotting. Try this first & see how you get on. xx

Hey hun I've had the same since coming off the pill. Spot for 3 days at 10dpo. Had progesterone tested which was normal, had an ultrasound - normal and have tried the vit b complex which didn't work either. It's so frustrating as have no idea what's causing it x

 

[babyg]

Thanks for the info girls.

I was reading up bout low prostegen after I posted this, think ill book into gp for tests.

Do u think if I start taking pregnacare conception, epo (I was plannin on takoing these this month anywayy) and vit b that they wud affect the blood test when I have them done on my CD21 (I'm assuming this is what 21 day bloods mean)

Thanks for ur help by the way

 

[babyg]

How long u been ttc itsbabytime and ld1978?

Woooo 4 days until testing for both bellarina and star, any symtoms??

 

[Star33]

Hiya. Your day 21 is for progesterone yes, & the vit b am not sure if it would effect the result, dont take them till you have had the test done just incase there is a possibility then hun. Yeah 2 days to go till test day i have, but tested early today! BFN! have all the af symptoms so 98% sure i'm out this month. xx

 

[babyg]

Thanks star, ill hold off taking them till after tests
