Just wishing you luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1507682 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 11:07:33 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 1507682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: fx for you! glad they started you on progesterone tho, that is good! I had some weird super light spotting before we got our bfp. it wasn't red but not brown either and was just the tiniest bit.. hoping this is your cycle!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1507634 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 11:01:15 +0000 LindsayInNY 1507634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I always wait until the weekend. So either Saturday (12DPO) or Sunday (13DPO)? Haven't decided yet. It's sad, I don't even know how many DPO I am without looking at FF! My temps have been a bit higher than usual lately but that might be weather-related. When the temps are all over, it's hard to get a good temperature in the bedroom so I end up waking up feeling warmer than usual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1507545 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 10:50:28 +0000 spaniellove 1507545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: So...when are you testing? I've been chart-stalking... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1505621 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 19:24:29 +0000 LindsayInNY 1505621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Haha, right?! Because I'm in a "meh" state of mind lately! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1505607 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 19:19:03 +0000 spaniellove 1505607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Like I said, I'm hopeful for you :happy: Where's that four-leaf clover emoticon when I need it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1505502 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 18:33:57 +0000 Happygal 1505502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: fingers crossed for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1505092 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 15:38:34 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 1505092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I didn't mean to try and raise hopes-I just thought I'd share my own experience with light brown spotting after ovulation. I also was told IB was only for a day or so from what I'd heard and read, but it lasted a week for me. Sorry if it wasn't helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1504461 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 12:35:49 +0000 LindsayInNY 1504461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Really? I didn't have any pre-AF whenever I've been on it so I figured this would be the "cure" now. Interesting... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1504299 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 11:44:45 +0000 pui 1504299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any advice, but I've got my fingers crossed for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1504200 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 11:16:30 +0000 spaniellove 1504200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Nope, progesterone doesn't necessarily stop spotting. I had both IB and other spotting while on Endometrin 3x/day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1504102 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 10:57:43 +0000 LindsayInNY 1504102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Took progesterone last night and still had some brown dots this morning. Nothing when I wiped before though. I thought it would stop with the progesterone? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1503295 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 05:25:46 +0000 LindsayInNY 1503295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: Nope, not painful at all. And ultrasound and HSG were both normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1503188 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 23:45:27 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1503188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Have you explored the possibility of endometriosis at all? Spotting between periods can be a symptom. Do you also have painful periods or anything? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1503007 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 21:14:41 +0000 LindsayInNY 1503007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChiCalGoBee: I'm trying not to get my hopes up anymore, just in case. I'm staying neutral I guess? I changed my panty liner when I got home around 7:30 and have had one small dot since then. Not even enough to really warrant needing the panty liner in the first place. Sometimes there's nothing there when I wipe either. I feel like 6DPO is really early though? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1502850 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 19:47:49 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 1502850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope you don't mind me weighing in on IB....I started the same exact spotting you're talking about (don't even need to change the panty liner, "heaviest" in the morning and only when I wipe, etc.) at 8/9 DPO. I got my (faint) BFP at 9/10 DPO in the afternoon. That spotting continued for a full week (with one particularly big blotch of red that had me convinced it was all over), and then faded and went away completely at 15/16 DPO. Fingers and toes crossed I'm still pregnant at exactly 6 weeks and haven't seen it since. I know I'm only one person, but since it sounds sort of similar I thought I'd share. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1502840 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 19:40:10 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1502840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: oh okay! I think your numbers were good then :)</p> <p>HOORAY!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1502831 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 19:30:00 +0000 LindsayInNY 1502831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: I haven't been on Clomid. I was just going through all testing this cycle and couldn't be on progesterone. This was the last of it. I have a physical in a couple of weeks but that's all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1502790 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 19:10:40 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1502790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: was this a non-clomid cycle?</p> <p>I THINK when I did my testing years ago, my non-clomid progesterone test (mine was 7DPO) was a 1.1. It jumped to 27 on clomid; they wanted to see over 10 for natural cycle and 15+ fit clomid. </p> <p>I THINK those were the numbers. </p> <p>Are you done with the testing? Could the progesterone interfere with more testing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1502777 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 19:03:34 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1502777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope this is it for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1502759 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 19:00:20 +0000 littlek 1502759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I'm glad you are starting P.

Glad your office called back. I really think it's IB and you should start the prog:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1502240 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 15:55:34 +0000 LindsayInNY 1502240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update from my doctor's office. They got a hold of my doctor, she said to start the progesterone unless I experience AF-like bleeding. Great but wtf, there's a seriously "telephone game" style communication going on! It's no where even close to AF-like! Oy. Well, luckily I have some leftover progesterone at home... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1502152 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 15:37:14 +0000 mlm2934 1502152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really don't have any advice to offer other than I always spotted during my cycles - usually once or twice randomly, around O and then a few days after O. </p> <p>The only time I had progesterone checked was in early pregnancy and it was right on track for pregnancy.</p> <p>I also have some PCOS symptoms and weird long cycles, but the spotting doesn't seem to have affected me otherwise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1502128 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 15:31:20 +0000 spaniellove 1502128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarahnicole218: That probably explains it :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1502124 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 15:30:25 +0000 Miss Sarah 1502124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I guess I should chime in that it was a Clomid cycle too and I just found out that P levels should be higher on Clomid anyway. Ok...feeling better. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1502112 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 15:27:50 +0000 Miss Sarah 1502112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Well...here's the deal. Unfortunately, after a falling out last week, I had resorted to storing my thermometer far FAR away from my nightstand. So I missed my temp on CD 18...but then of course, I had crazy O pains on CD 17 and 18, so I wanted to check on CD 19 to see if my temp was up, and sure enough, it jumped a little bit. And then it jumped A LOT on CD 20. So I'm pretty sure I O'd CD 18, but I suppose there is a chance it was CD 17. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/progesterone-levels-and-such#post-1502106 Tue, 18 Mar 2014 15:26:15 +0000 jape14 1502106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Just chiming in to say that I also had what I must have been IB on 7DPO &amp; 8DPO (or days 6 and 7, depending on how accurate my ovulation date was). If I had to characterize it, I would say that it was a bit of CM tinted slightly reddish brown, and extremely light. I definitely wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't been obsessing over it. Crossing my fingers for you! </p>
