Cmiller1, sometimes ovulation can cause a bit of bleeding or maybe DH bumped your cervix while dtd. I think you'll be fine!!

Ksmom, I agree with Maiden and would totally switch over to the PCOS diet, bring back chicken and white fish, and get tested for all the vitamin deficiencies that she mentioned. When I had my miscarriage I got tested immediately since I didn't feel right (depressed, cold all the time, out of breath, sleeping/napping all the time). After being on the LE diet for just 7 months and off of all vitamins except folate for a year, I was extremely iron deficient (as in should have had a blood transfusion!) and also deficient in magnesium and vitamin D as well (when I had always taken magnesium and vitamin D daily). And this is with eating meat the entire time and taking iron 3 days a week for the last few months! I had cut down on my red meat and salmon intake, but was still eating chicken, white fish, and pork on a regular basis (just 1/2 serving sizes). Having extremely heavy periods for the past decade since having DS1 and then the miscarriage didn't help. My ferritin (iron stores) was an 8 and ideal for a woman is 70-90. Low ferritin and anemia are common in celiacs as well (my FIL has celiac disease and my DS1 has the gene and is gluten free). Even now, over a year after my miscarriage and despite taking super high dose prescription iron (over 300mg a day) my ferritin is only at 46! It did get up to 69 at one point but every period seems to knock my iron stores out so I constantly feel like I'm in a battle that I can't win! Low iron causes low egg quality, which is exactly what you don't want. My best friend is a vegetarian and has low iron as well. Her ferritin is at 30 though since she doesn't have crazy heavy periods like me and she's currently pregnant so she can work on bringing her levels up without losing them to her period every month.
