clomid and spotting

[djmommy]

Just wondering if anyone had any brown spotting/discharge while taking clomid? I am on cycle day 10 and have had brownish spotting since about cycle day 7. I usually spot after AF until cycle day 8 but never this long. I took 50 mg of clomid on cycle day 3-7.

yes totally normal and reported by prob. 1/3 of all my gals on Clomid.

Thanks atomic! :)

Can I ask how many days of flow you usually have with AF? And how many days after you normally spot for?

Vitex seems to make me spot for several days, sometimes a whole week even, after AF - even though it gets rid of the spotting I sometimes have at the end of my LP before AF comes. The long spotting until ~ CD10-12 is super annoying though, so much that I'm not sure it's worth fixing the LP spotting!

Anyway, I am curious as I may try low dose clomid (25-50mg) if I don't conceive after a few months of trying. Good luck this month!

Hi maidentomother,

I normally spot until cd7 or 8 but I think I spotted until cd10 with clomid. It is annoying and just wanted to make sure it was normal. I thought it was going to stop my spotting cause I had nothing really on cd 5 and 6 but then it started on cd7. Hoping I O soon!!!
Thanks!!

Thanks for your reply! Isn't it frustrating when the spotting stops for a day or two only to resume? That happens to me, too. It's so misleading and disappointing. What CD are you on now?

I had spotting on 9dpo and 10dpo...now I'm 12 dpo and waiting for AF to come from a day to another 😔 I hope not..still have a last hope...

I am 7 dpo now. I hate spotting in my LP because I know I am not Preggo! FX for you!!!!

Unfortunatelly my AF came day 13dpo...sad but thats life. I'll have another try in 2 weeks.
Good luck!
