Spotting before period - hormone imbalance?

[alwayscoffee]

I was a spotter too. Got my hormones checked and everything was good, doctor said nothing was wrong. I got pregnant after 5 months off TTC so obviously the spotting wasn't an issue. I had an appointment to go get my tubes checked, but didn't need to once I got pregnant. The one thing that was starting to help my spotting was inositol and vitex. I was taking that when I got pregnant and the spotting was lighter and less.

I read in a fertility book that spotting in the middle of your cycle can be normal as some women can bleed when ovulating. If i were u i would go to the doc.

Hi, Im very interested in this theme, as I spot (a lot) before AF.
I usually start around 7 dpo and spot more or less all the way.
In the begging, it looks like breakthrough bleeding, and later as brown flake on pad, or even sometimes black tissues are visible (tmi sorry).

I used Vitex -for a month only, no change. I also used B6 - no improvement.
My progesteron levels are ok (checked on 21st day of cycle). This is my 4th month ttc.

Sometimes, but in rare occasions, i even have brownish discharge around ovulation.
For my gp this all is normal.

I bought natural progesteron cream, and plan to use it, to see if the spotting would stop.

Thanks for sharing. Let me know how you get on. Have you tried accupuncture? I found that helped with my actual period as it made it red instead of old blood, and it stopped the awful period pain / sore boobs too. The only downside is it isn’t cheap!
