Thanks a lot ThatGirl. It's really encouraging to hear that you got a BFP despite the spotting. Did you have a laparoscopy? I'm beginning to think that I probably should.
I think that getting a lap will be of huge benefit in finding out what is going on, especially if you are doing IVF.
I didn't have the spotting you have but had very painful periods and long cycles, a lap showed that I had blocked and damaged tubes and extensive endo.
My Dr removed all of the endo. We went on to do IVF and our first attempt worked.
I honestly think that getting any issues sorted before starting IVF can really help.
I didn't have a laparoscopy. Like your dr, I don't think mine believed in doing them. Her reasoning was that they might find I had blocked tubes or similar problems which would necessitate IVF, so it was better to just go ahead with IVF regardless.
After our first failed cycle, I had an ultrasound to check my tubes at my request and one was found to be blocked. It didn't change our plan, just meant I had some idea of what was making it difficult to conceive.
Hi I had the same thing happen to me. I went to the doc and he said I had thyroid disease/ overactive graves disease and this spotting was an indication od why I couldn't fall pregnant. I fell after a regime of clexane and progesterone support during ivf which prevented tmy lining coming away prematurely. Hope this helps
