Spotting at CD9, what's that about?

[Jennifer13]

For my 16 day cycles I'd assume it was spotting around O. But I'm not temping yet and I wouldn't think (if I have a 28-30 day cycle this time) that I was O'ing aroud 9-11.

Think I'd better order that BBT...

Well thats true, if your cycle is longer then you would O later as your LP is meant to stay the same (although mine does not).

I agree, order that BBT, it is amazing what you can tell just from taking your temperature!

I get O bleeding some cycles!

Is it possible that your body is having a rough time making progesterone? Maybe after having the IUD in with it's artificial progesterone coursing through you for so long, your body is just trying to get things figured out with how to make progesterone again? If you temp, you can see also if you are ovulating. If you are not, there isn't any corpus lutum (sp) to make the progesterone, too, which means you could have shorter cycles from lack of the prog.

You could also ask your Dr about compounded hormone creams to help you have a balance, or at least for after you O for longer LPs? Just a thought.

GOOD LUCK - I'm gonna keep track of what happens with you since I had my Mirena out 7/19 - I think I O'd 8 days later, and as of yet no BFP so maybe my progesterone is being wonky and wont go back down? Stupid false hormones! Some people have cycles go back to normal right away, while others do take a few months. The company's study before it was released in the USA did show that 80% of women who were trying to get pregnant did get UTD within a year after removing it. Hope all goes well for you!
