Welcome!
I'm thrilled you've come here!

I have a q so when/if you have time to answer:

I'm always spotting 4-5 days before my period but last cycle and this one I've started spotting 3dpo and my last period lasted for 7 days. What could it be? I will schedule appointment at my ob/gyn for next week if possible

Oh, I'll be 39 in October.

You are probably going to be hit with so many q's...lol

Basically from your experience if you were going to do a natural sway for a girl, what would you really focus on and do?
Sorry huge question I know.

Thanks

How long have you had this? It is quite possible spotting can be the result of a hormonal imbalance. For instance, your body may be producing too much estrogen or not enough progesterone, a thyroid problem or from taking certain medications. Your age at 39 years is nothing really to be concerned about, although our cycles do definitely change and hormones can commence to play tricks It is such a delicate balance and stress too can be a cause.

The other things that may cause this is Polyps or Fibroids which again as we age from a reproductive point of view can become more predominant. The more serious things are highly unlikely, SO DO NOT STRESS!

Do you get pain with spotting? What colour is the spotting? Does it have a mucous consistency or is it watery?

When did this start?

Babydoctor - thank you so much for your time and reply! It means a lot and you calmed me which I needed badly.

My spotting started from my very 1st period, always 4-5 days before period, painless, brownish,mucousy, sometimes tingled with fresh blood.
Last 2 cycles spotting started 3dpo, painless, more watery, brownish and watery fresh blood. You are so right it's a very delicate balance and I'm not helping with stressing like crazy lol!

I googled a bit and found it could be polyps or fibroids, I certainly hope it's not the case

In both my successful pregnancies I was on Utrogestan 300 mg ( which is pure Progesteron) for the 1st 12 weeks.

Hi I am so glad that I could ease your stress. Sometimes stress is such a major factor. It really sounds that is hormonal related and I would be asking for a full month hormonal profile testing. From what you describe it does not sound like Fibroids or Polyps but you still need to check. xxxx

Hi and welcome!!! I am also glad you are here and would love to read your observations on sperm.....I am on the verge of going to an RE myself, even though I can't afford to go HT or anything. Thanks for any info you post!!!!
