I'm on CD17 and I've had brown spotting for the last 2 days. I'm regular as clock work, and my cycles are 29 days. I've never had mid cycle spotting before, so I'm just uneasy about it all. I've had lower back pain and cramping and I've been really emotional and super tired (mostly pre menstrual symptoms). I'm scared my body is out of whack and heading for early menopause......any ideas or experience ladies?
Sorry to hi jack Miss.B but I would also like to know what people think could cause this, I'm up to 4 days of very light brown bleeding in the middle of my cycle and I'm so worried. I'm happy to provide more details if someone thinks they could help.
Hi KAM, how are you hun? Long time no hear! Hope you're travelling OK :) Well my 'spotting' went for 3 days and then I got full on bleeding which I assume was my very early AF?? So if it was AF, my cycle will be all buggered up for the first time ever! It will be interesting if I'll still get my 'normal' AF which is due at the end of this week, or if this latest bleeding was my 'new' AF????. Grrrrr, so frustrating!! What cycle day are you now? Could it be implantation bleeding?
Hi Miss.B, I hope life is treating you well. I don't get on the forums very often any more but we're doing pretty well.
I've also been wondering about AF, mines due next week but surely there wont be anything left to bleed.
I'm still spotting/bleeding, it started at CD18 so I think it's a bit early to be implantation. Hubby seems to think it's a bit suspicious since the only other times I've had anything like this was during pregnancy. But I've never bled before a missed period so really doubting it, which has me worried as to what else it could be.
This is exactly what I had. First proper AF since having DD was on December 25, then on Jan 16 I had three days of strange brown spotting. Turns out it was AF and that cycle resulted in The Wriggler! Good luck!
Congratulation on The Wriggler and Thank You Teeki, that makes me feel better about what might be going on. I hope it is some type of crazy AF so I don't have to bleed next week as well (I'm still spotting) and then we can move on.
Miss.B how are you going, it's almost the end of the week.
Teeki, congrats honey! I wish that could happen to me but I won't hold my breath! lol
KAM, well the 'real' AF isn't due until tomorrow, but I have absolutely no AF symptoms so I'd say I now have a 'new' AF :( I will be speaking to my FS about it next week. Maybe my cycle just went a bit loopy :wall: I suppose I could do a pee stick tomorrow but somehow I don't think that's gonna produce anything exiting...keep me posted on your cycle hun and hopefully it's good news for you :crossfingers:
how did you go Miss.B? x
Thanks for checking on me Mummy&Daddy2be :) I went to my doctor and he said at my age these things will happen from time to time unfortunately (I am getting older now I suppose, although it's a bit of a shock to the system as I've always been like clockwork with AF) so I'm definitely not pg, and I will now have a 'new AF' time slot, lol. If all goes well, we will be starting IVF again in June. GL with your own TTC hun and your wedding, congratulations!
anytime :hug: hope you're doing ok. well... a "new" time slot may give your body a bit of a shock & it may bring better luck - you never know :). sending you lots of baby dust & sticky vibes for IVF! thanks hun, only 6 months to go until the big day - pretty exciting!!!
Thanks for posting this everyone! I started spotting this month 11 days before I'm due (and I'm a fairly regular 32 days now - if anything goes out of whack I'm 10 days later, not 10 days early!) and still going 5 days later. Good to know it's just me getting older and closer to the menopause.
Lol TFB, that was the only time I was ever that early. I went and saw my FS and he said that my cycles will every now and then do that, as I am getting older, and generally they become shorter and shorted with time. So it's not early menopause (thank God). The next cycle was 28 days, the next was 33 days and the next was 26 days, but that was a cycle following an IVF stim cycle so they were expecting my AF to come a little bit earlier. So my body has been out of whack a bit lately, I am timing myself this month for ovulation as next month I have a FET and want to know roughly when to start the ovulation testing, and I have a surge now at CD12. So my next cycle should be technically around 26/27 days????? Anyhoo, don't want to bore you, just saying the body does weird and wonderful things as it's getting a wee bit older :(
