Spotting for a week before AF every month - any one else but successful??

[1sttimer]

Hey ladies I'm looking for success stories from anyone who suffers REGULAR spotting for around a week before each AF. (Not just the odd one off)

I get this every month but my day 21 test for progesterone (along with all other tests was fine). I've never heard a positive outcome from anyone who has the same problem, and lots of people who get it have had miscarriages so its starting to drive me a little nuts as the docs say there is nothing to worry about but the experiences suggest otherwise... anyone out there that can prove me wrong (please!)? x

I have it and have a sort of positive outcome. The spotting is anything from 4-7 days and I've had it for a good 15 years now. My progesterone was also good and I've had everything looked at, no issues.

I've been pregnant twice in the last 8 months, both ended in miscarriage but that's almost certainly due to egg quality, I was 44. The first one miscarried at 8 weeks so no issues with implantation, I don't think the spotting causes me any problems. The twice I was pregnant I didn't spot at all before the day af was due which was the day I got my bfp.

I did a lot of internet research (ie googling) and found out that most people that have regular spotting didn't get it in the month they got their bfp but some did still get it.

Good luck.

This is really helpful (and reassuring) thanks Syd43 x

My sister had it and got pregnant, although it did take her 18 months. I used to have it too but it seems to have stopped now. X

Hi! I have this exact same problem. Ttc 15 months and counting. Have no idea why it's happening. Bloods all ok and doctors aren't concerned. I keep looking for positive stories aswell to give me hope.

Hi, i have this. It's always post MC though rather than preceding a BFP and subsequent MC. So for example I had it after my first MC and then went on to have a successful pregnancy. Same as you, all my blood tests came back fine. Hope this helps x
