@brij2006 what do you think the reason for your spotting is? I'd love to hear your thoughts...

@sewilson33 I have no flipping idea. I've been stalking your chart almost every day too, since you have the same thing going on.
It almost reminds me of cycles when I was on BCP. I had breakthrough bleeding like crazy on the pill, and would spot for at least a week before and after my period.

I only ever spot a day or two before AF and usually it is a fair amount. I've been so confused... I am demanding someone test my progesterone levels at my next appt. This kind of bleeding has never ever happened to me before.

The cycle of my BFN I spotted for 2 days before AF came. I went back and looked at my chart, and I noted that it was heavy enough to need a pantyliner. But if it isn't the norm for you, it wouldn't hurt to ask about it at your appointment.
I honestly wonder if Progesterone had something to do with my 2 losses. My first one I swear was a CP or very early loss because it had nothing to stick to. We weren't TTC at the time, so they didn't run many tests and we didn't know to ask. The next BFP, you bet your ass I'm asking them to test for it.

Ugh sorry, but maybe 12dpo was too early? And the spotting sucks. Just want you to know I'm thinking about both of you (that's you @sewilson33)

@sewilson33 :-( Tested again this morning, and it was stark white negative. My temps are still up and the spotting is still there and is turning more to red than brown. So I am going to assume a temp drop and AF tomorrow morning.
At 14DPO a positive should show.
Oh well, at least I ovulated on my own. I'll take it.

@brij2006 Spotting is definitely a symptom of low progesterone. I could be other things as well, but definitely a symptom. Are your post O temps rocky at all (sorry, I'm on mobile and can't see)? That would be another symptom.
ETA: If you end up doing another medicated cycle, I'd ask for the suppositories to start after O. I have no progesterone issues but my RE prescribes them as part of every cycle as standard protocol. There's no harm (other than increased symptoms) and it's better to do it and not need it. Just my opinion.

It's such a gorgeous effing chart, Brij, I'm still holding out hope for you!!
Cheering on all of my 3T ladies! DX with PCOS - 11/2012 DH S/A & HSG - Normal - Too many rounds of Clomid = BFNs - New RE 5/2014 - Repeat Testing - Losing 40lbs before injects/IUI
Looking at your temps, I'd say it's definitely worth asking about. The slightly slow rise, the up and down temps after O, and the spotting could possibly indicate questionable levels.
You might not really be 14dpo either. I'm hopeful you ovulated maybe a day or two later. But great news that you ovulated on your own though. That's fantastic!

I did last night, and it was a BFN.
H doesn't do well with negatives. So I'm going to try and hold out until Friday or Saturday if I can.
I've been spotting pretty much since a few days after O. So I have no clue what to think of this cycle right now.

@looneylife Thank you!
It's definitely something I've wondered about.
@sewilson33 Hopefully this is your case too, and the suppositories is all that you will need. :-)
