spotting ?

Normally I tend to start spotting maybe 2 days before AF is due. Last month was weird b/c the spotting started a week before AF showed which never happened before. It was the holidays, i was super stressed due to some family issues going on, so im not sure if that just brought it on...or if this is indicative of a larger hormonal problem...i've read lots of conflicting things.

anyone deal with this?

the dr. gave me clomid to take days 4-8, having the HSG on day 9, and IUI on day 13 (if AF shows this month which it probably will..) then progresterone pills for days 18-28.

would low progesterone cause spotting? like maybe its dropping or i dont have enough of it? i know its very important in the implantation role, so im wondering if this could be an issue?

Re: spotting ?

That could definitely be from low progesterone.

After my IUI, I started progesterone suppositories 2 days later.

How do you know your IUI will be on CD 13?

Re: spotting ?

b/c thats the schedule the Dr. gave me..LOL

I was confused by the day 13 so i said well I know i dont always ovulate on day 14.. but she said it didnt matter and the clomid on days 4-8 will force ovulation??

I have to call them on Day 1 of AF to schedule the HSG test on Day 9. Then the IUI on day 13. and who knows..if something comes up on the HSG test this all might be a moot point???


this is all new to me
