Question about spotting.......DR's or anybody??
July 22, 2008
My RE is at a loss as to what is causing me to spot (lightly) every month from 9 dpo to 14 dpo (AF usually arrives 14dpo). Every month for the past 10 months, I have spotted 6 days prior to AF showing.
My cycles are normal...28 days, and I ovulate most months on the 13-14 day of my cycle (confirmed by OPK's, and temp).
I am 35 yrs old. We have one living child (thru IVF/ICSI...2005) and an Angel (conceivedspontaneously/'naturally) born still into our arms (20 weeks gestation) just over 18 months ago.
I have a history of endo, pelvic surgery for ruptured cyst, and adhesions as a result of both.
I have had prolactin levels checked (my # was 20-normal), progesterone levels checked at 14dpo (my # was 14.6...non-medicated. 4 months ago I had a lap to help decrease pelvic pain, and remove a chocolate cyst. Pain is gone....but mystery spotting continues. 7 months ago I had an HSG, inside of uterus appears normal...tubes open.
RE is at a loss....or at least that is what she claims. At this point, she has no further answers or suggestions.
What all can cause spotting??? Can it actually be "NORMAL" to spot 6 days prior to AF?
This never happened before our loss, could it have something to do with having a 2nd trimester loss....??
Thanks to everybody for you responses!
