Then maybe the spotting was because of the applicator irritating something. I start spotting 8-9 dpo but my temp also drops correspondingly. I'm just starting hormone blood tests next cycle </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-with-high-bbt#post-344527 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 11:42:45 +0000 Pepper 344527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raintreebee: It could be the applicator this month, I didn't consider that. Hopefully that's it :)</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: That is a help to know I'm not the only one! I wouldn't worry about it if it didn't happen so early into my LP. </p> <p>@lawbee11: I missed that post! That's definitely helpful. I was on BC for a long time too, so maybe that has something to do with it. thanks for sharing :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-with-high-bbt#post-344480 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 11:12:14 +0000 lawbee11 344480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I created this post last week. Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but just thought I'd pass it along...</p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-else-have-spotting-in-the-days-leading-up-to-af" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-else-have-spotting-in-the-days-leading-up-to-af</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-with-high-bbt#post-344473 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 11:10:30 +0000 Foodnerd81 344473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have spotting for about 4-5 days before my period, but it starts later (like, around 12 DPO, since my LP is long). My temps stay high the whole time until after my period starts. I haven't asked my doctor about it but will when I go in next month for a regular check up. Sorry it's not a help, but just to say it happens to me with high temps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-with-high-bbt#post-344409 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 10:36:17 +0000 raintreebee 344409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the applicators for the suppositories can irritate the cervix and cause spotting. I had this a couple days ago and am on endometrin. It could also be implantation bleeding! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spotting-with-high-bbt#post-344154 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 08:02:40 +0000 Pepper 344154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is long, sorry guys. I'm feeling pretty down today. I've been dealing with early spotting (usually 7-10 DPO) for over a year. I had a chemical pregnancy in April of 2011, and ever since then, my body has been out of sorts. I took antibiotics because my doctor thought the spotting might be caused by an infection. It wasn't. I had ultrasounds because they thought my small fibroids were causing it, but they're apparently too small and not in a place that would cause spotting. Now, they think it could be a luteal phase defect. </p> <p>This cycle I've been charting again, and taking progesterone suppositories (100 mg at bedtime) since 3DPO. I was so hopeful until today at 7 DPO (TMI warning), I went to the bathroom and saw the same darn brown/pink spotting that I get a week before AF. I really was hoping the progesterone suppositories would fix the spotting, but it doesn't appear to have made a difference. What's even more confusing is that my temps are still high!</p> <p>I just don't understand and I'm really frustrated. I guess my question is, has anyone actually conceived with spotting like this mid cycle? Does anyone else continually experience spotting during the luteal phase without any accurate explanation from a doctor? </p>
