IB or AF?

[Emily]

Hi ladies. Has anyone had IB for 4 days? Just the tiniest drop each day but I've never had it last so long before.

Hi Emily! I actually just had brown spotting a couple weeks ago and it was 3 days, but only in the mornings it was strange, my doctor said it could have been old IB or a low cervix at the time and DTD probably caused it. Do you know if your pregnant or not? And have you been DTD recently??? Not sure it that helps but that's just what happened to me hehe!

i've had a small amount of pink bleeding a few days before af the last few months that has hung around until af i think it maybe vitex related, but its always been pink/red not brown usually just when i went to the toilet that then got heavier right on af and cramping with it throughout the day (not had this month, first off vitex).

I did have brown spotting too like cvd at the start of my pregnancy with at least one of my sons, doc told me the say thing, cervix is very sensitive and it was old blood from dtd related injury. Just out of interest CVD did your doc tell you avoid dtd until week 12?

No mrs P! She said to be more gentle lol but we are never really "rough" TMI! so she said just wait till it stopped then if we did it again and the spotting came back to hold off a little. But the spotting never came back so it was prob just old IB bleeding and DTD provoked it! Or my cervix went up finally lol she actually said sex is super healthy when preg and that it rarely causes problems so unless it continued or got worse (heavier or red) she wasn't concerned!

[Mrs_P]

Oh ok, it was something i was always worried about so we avoided it just in case but my doc never seemed that bothered, he said if i was going to miscarry i would anyway (very comforting)

I am having the same thing happen to me right now. I have had spotting and cramping for the past 4 days, it has been either brownish or pink, and it is only happening once or twice day. I *think* I ovulated on Oct. 3, but that is a big assumption because I still haven't had my ppaf. So I am just waiting. I have been feeling like AF is just around the corner for weeks now, but this annoying spotting is all I have gotten! I did take an hpt yesterday and it was a BFN, which wasn't a surprise because I was only 7 days past my suspected ovulation.

I think I am pregnant (totally unscientific but I feel something in my tummy) am testing tomorrow morning (DPO 12). No have not DTD since October 1st and then only once, very gentle and very shallow TMI sorry Hearing other people's experiences always helps thanks.

Looks like we are in the same annoying boat jennaesue! Fingers crossed.

Thanks Mrs P - I did wonder if Vitex was to blame. As this is my 1st month swaying I was only on it for about 14 days but that was enough to delay O so it must be pretty powerful stuff.

Some of the pink sway supps can extend bleeding times.
