Who gets spotting before AF...and how much?

[KeLe101]

Sorry if this is a personal question, but for those of you who don't mind sharing, do any of you get light brown spotting before AF, and if so, how long does it last? Every AF I have had since coming off the pill has started this way and it's really, really annoying. It doesn't feel normal, and it worries me. I had an early miscarriage last month and I'm worried it's cos of a lack of progesterone - what do you think?

Before I had a m/c last year I was fairly regular between 28 and 32 days and I always spotted for about 3/4 days before AF turned up, it was never heavy enough for a pad and manly when I wiped! it was brown to start with then turned pink then AF arrived for 2-3days. Since my m/c my cycles have been MAD from 40 days to 167 days and I spotted but it was red and would last a couple of hours then AF would arrive and be heavy for a good few of days.

I have been told that it is normal for some women and that it is nothing to worry about.

Hope this helps...if I have not confused you

I took the femodine pill for 2 weeks after having the implant out then stopped it and now I get (sorry tmi) but red tinged snotty stuff about a day before I get a full flow AF...it's happened twice out of 3 periods now, but 1st period wasnt a true AF so I guess that's my AF warning from now on.

Hiya
I spot brown for 3-4 days before AF. Its a pain but the consultant at the hospital said its nowt to worry about. Its not a lot just mainly when i wipe xxx

My periods used to be fine, cramping which would get more painful then full AF for 5 days...but since my mc i now get some cramping on and off, and spotting (some pinky / brown discharge mainly on wiping) from anything from 1 to 4 days then AF for about 3 days.

I was worrying about it too, particuarly since it's only started that way since my mc but Dr seems to think it's fine.

Hope this helps. x

my af's always start with a brown colour discharge, but I don't generally tend to spot. I think it's quite normal to have the af start as a brown colour If you are unsure go see your doc to be safe x

I'm the same as you but i can be anything upto a week b4 AF. My consultant at the fertility clinic says it's nothing to worry about. My progesterone has been tested a few time too. Beofre clomid it was 30 and then 49, last motnh after my 1st month on clomid it was 91. Anything over 30 is fine so I know it's not that. Just one of them things I guess, but it is a right pain. I also wonder if, when i get PG, is i will still spot the same but just won't get af or if I won't spot at all
