Tired of brown spotting!

[kohlby]

I've had brown spotting now for five days! I'm tired of this and was hoping it meant my period was coming. I can ttc again as soon as I get a period so I feel like I'm not moving forward right now. (Though the RE did say a "normal" period and I don't meet with her until next week to discuss a plan).

Has anyone else here had days of brown spotting when you were expecting your period? I'm a bit too experienced in miscarriages but I never had more than one or two days of brown spotting before my period came then, if that.

After my miscarriage with ~Emma~, I thought I was actually going to start when I started brown spotting, but it wasn't. I brown spotted for alittle over a month. I finally ended up taking Provera, and it seemed to help.

I hope things get straighten out and you stop the brown spotting and get your cycle back soon.

I don't recall what I had, but I wanted to wish you luck that this ends soon!

i have only had it happen once...3 mos ago. i had 5 days of brown spotting about a week before my period was due...then a heavy 6 days of bleeding..then a few more days of brown spotting.

all in all it was about 2- 2.5 weeks of spotting bleeding spotting. they have given no explanation to me. had a complete hormonal blood workover done. found nothing abnormal.

i took a few pg tests at the time because i wondered whether or not it was an early miscarriage...they all came back negative. still, i wonder whether there was a chemical pregnancy that i just missed on the days that i tested.

that is the only real explanation i have for what went on in feb. after that , i had a regular 31 day cycle in march and then a 35 day cycle in april.?

my periods are crap anyway.

i know how frustrating not know ing can be though. weird health stuff ahs been going on with me for a year now and still no real definitive answers. sigh.

hugs to you kohlby.
smooch

That's not the answer I was looking for! Helpful, but not what I wanted to hear! I have an appointment with the RE on Tuesday to discuss the plan for next time so I'll mention it to her then. I'm only 5.5 weeks post-miscarriage, so it's not time for Provera yet. I just want to start ttc again! Plus, I get so sick when pg that it's hard to make summer plans until I know where I might be in my cycle in case I'm sick.

Smoochy- Any miscarriage I had that had any brown spotting went into full blown red bleeding fairly quickly. I do tend to have 2-3 days of brown spotting at the end of every period usually, but not before. (I have heard that brown spotting at the end of a period is normal but before a period for more than a day or two can be a sign of low progesterone. I'm not worried about that since I do have a reason for a whacky cycle! I'm positive I'm not currently pregnant too. So, just waiting it out I guess! I hope it turns to a real period soon!

Checking up on you, how are you doing?

[kohlby]

No change - still a little tiny bit of brown spotting every day. It's been well over a week now. I see my RE tomorrow to discuss a ttc plan so I'll ask her about this.

[busy_i_am2007]

I'll check up on you tomorrow then, keeping you in my thoughts!

Looks like we may be cycle buddies then! I'm 13DPO today. Good luck with your appointment tomorrow.

Not if you're pg! Also, I now don't feel like my period is about to come. And I had no spotting yesterday. I'm wondering if my period was "supposed" to come then but I just go brown spotting and will have to wait four more weeks for a real period. I'm so tempted to start "not trying but not not trying" in a couple weeks if there's no change. I figure I see the RE today so at least there will be a plan. Though, I also know given my history, she's not going to like this idea. Sigh. Waiting to ttc is more stressful than ttc for me!
