Brown CM (TMI)

Two months ago about 6DPO I started to get brown CM. I only noticed it when I wiped. I used a panty liner and if I had a little CM on the liner it would be tinged with brown. I was excited because I thought it was implantation bleeding. It came on and off until 12DPO I did a HPT and it came up positive. I had a blood test which confirmed my pregnancy and then at just past 4 weeks - a M/C.

The next month we TTC again but were were not successful. There was no mid-cycle bleeding this time either.

This month at about 6DPO I got the brown CM again. Again only when I wipe or get some CM on a panty liner. You can see it's tinged with brown. I'm now 8DPO and it's still happening. At first I was excited that it may be implantation bleeding but now I'm getting scared that things are going the same was as the month I had a M/C.

I though about ringing my doctor but since I haven't even taken an HPT yet I don't think there is anything I can do except wait for it to happen again (or not).

Can anyone offer any information or suggestions about my situation? Writing this I think I'm really putting the cart before the horse since I don't even have a BFP yet. It's just that my instincts tell me it will come and I'm so scared for everything to end the same way as the last time.

Just thought I'd add an update: I called my Doctor today just to see if he had an opinion. They asked me to come in to see him. He's the best doctor. He never makes me feel silly - even when I'm feeling silly myself. He said that since I'm 8DPO he wants me to have a blood test. If it comes back positive, we'll do another one in 2 days time to see if the HCG levels are rising and then go from there. If it comes back negative we will look at other options as to why I might have this brown CM during my cycle.

I'd still be interested in hearing from anyone else who has an opinion. :)

no opinion, just wanted to give you a big hug and good luck :) Hope if you are pg the little one sticks!

I hope your blood test results come back with good news! Keep us updated :)

Good luck hun. It does sound promising.

hey aussiegirl.
im in teh southernhighlands aswell
who is your doc?

i would suggest it could be implantation, and there is no correlation between implantation bleeding and M/C.
so dont think becuase it was sad and unfortunate that it happened last time it will happen this time.

hugs to you. and if you want support im here and local :D

Another Update - The bloodtest came back negative. The doctor wants me to have another one on Tuesday and if that is negative (which I think it will be) he said I could have an ultrasound to make me feel better or rule anything out about the spotting.

I have never in all my years had an early period but I'm feeling more and more like that's what this month is. I will keep taking my temp but I wouldn't be surprised if it drops tomorrow morning. If so maybe its because of my M/C a couple of months ago. Or maybe it's my age....or maybe it something else.

Why oh why can't TTC just be simple?

Aussiegirl, this must be so frustrating for you! TTC can be so emotional at times, I hope you get some answers

Thanks for the nice words girls - my period arrived this morning and with that I also got my common sense back! I think the fact that I have left the decision to ftry to fall pregnant so late (by text books way of thinking) that it has put a lot of unexpected pressure on me. I didn't really understand how much until this morning. So I'm thinking that all this stress is making things worse and that by trying to control everything I'm actually making it harder on myself and not easier. This month has been a crazy cycle and I thought something must be wrong and now I think the only thing wrong is my attitude!

So it's time to back off. I'll just continue to take my temps this month and DP and I are just going to BD for the fun of it all!!! (Easier said than done but I'm going to give it a shot and see what happens).
