I have been having brown spotting before AF starts last few months.Never had this before until TTC. Is this an early miscarriage? Is it related to progesterone levels? I will go to the doctor this week....but anxious to find out what is going on.....Any help or advice would be great. Thanks!

LS...I have brown spotting 2-3 days before AF every month. It's kind of a signal to me that it is on it's way. Like you, I don't know what causes it and am very curious to learn why this happens. Someone told me it was a symptom of endometriosis. Please let me know what you doc says about it.

I have been TTC about 3 months now. My cycles are regular 28 days spotting day and a half before AF comes each time. Have never had the brown spotting before until TTC. That's why I suspect very early miscarriage. I don't think it is endometriosis because from my reading endometriosis main sign is pain...which I do not have. From my research it may be related to progesterone levels. But I will let you guys know what I find out. Plan to make an appt for the Dr. this week. I want to fix this problem ASAP so I can get pregnant!! I am going to start charting my fertility signs now though...I want to get a better idea of what is going on with my cycle. I sort of charted my temps in june and it looks like I am ovulating. Are you guys charting?

Its totally normal. Its older blood from your previous cycle that wasn't completely expelled. Its also common to have brown spotting at the end of AF.

I used to get brown spotting before my period and my fertility clinic told me its normal - they told me exactly what Lena said. They also said I should count day 1 of my period as the first day of real red bleeding (not red spotting) when you're working out when you ovulate. I used an ovulation kit from the pharmacists to tell if I was ovulating - I'm not sure its worth doing it every month if you're cycles are regular but its useful to do it once. I really wouldn't worry if you've only being trying for 3 months - it often takes 6 months or a year is not uncommon (85% get pregnant in 1 year, 95% in 2 years). 2 years is normally when the doctors say you need to get tested in England. Hope you get pregnant soon.
