They had specific B6 or B12 in pill or one of those strips that melts on your tongue, or the B Complex in a pill. </p> <p>Good luck-- I hope your naturopath can help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mid-cycle-spotting-progesterone-issue#post-567172 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 15:49:18 +0000 mrs.halfsie 567172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hergreenapples: thanks! I will try a B-Complex. We've been trying for almost a year and this started up only when we were ttc. I'm actually seeing a naturopath right now! I get test results from her this Saturday. We'll see what she says about progesterone levels. </p> <p>@foodnerd81: What was your dosage on the B Complex?</p> <p>I took a progesterone test with my RE and I was on the low side - but she never said I needed to fix anything and just wanted me to start with Clomid and IUI rather than diagnose my problem. Hopefully I'll get some answers this weekend. Trying to stay positive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mid-cycle-spotting-progesterone-issue#post-567101 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 15:34:25 +0000 sweetooth 567101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the other end of the spectrum. I had spotting before getting my period almost every month before starting Clomid and I'm still not pregnant. But in my testing with the RE, progesterone wasn't mentioned as a problem. It's good to take note of it and ask your doctor if you are concerned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mid-cycle-spotting-progesterone-issue#post-567067 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 15:23:00 +0000 Foodnerd81 567067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hergreenapples: I had the same thing, pretty heavy spotting for several days before AF and I was worried it was a progesterone issue. I took a B complex from O until AF and it helped a little, but I was still spotting some. I got pregnant on our second try, so it wasn't a sign of a problem for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mid-cycle-spotting-progesterone-issue#post-567057 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 15:21:26 +0000 heartonastring 567057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It could be or it might not be. Not helpful...sorry! You might want to look into supplementing with a B complex. I had spotting in my LP and was worried it was progesterone related. Then I got pregnant on my second try. </p> <p>So, while it certainly could be a symptom of low progesterone, it could also be nothing to worry about. I found that working with a naturopath was really helpful :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mid-cycle-spotting-progesterone-issue#post-566957 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 14:44:07 +0000 mrs.halfsie 566957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few months into ttc, I starting spotting starting 7-9 dpo until AF - and now it occurs every month. The first time it happened, my period started (incredibly painfully and suddenly). Now, the same thing happened again! I will spot about 7-9 dpo, it will start to taper off and then BAM! AF. I've heard that is could be progesterone related. Any success stories out there with this problem and using progesterone? </p>
