Is the first day of your period when you start spotting or is the first day when you have a flow.

Started to spot for the last 3 cycles is this normal.

It's the day you get your full flow. It's usually normal to get spotting a day before or sometimes even 2 days. As long as you're experiencing it right before AF I don't think you have a reason to worry. It just happens during the fertile years. The intermediate spotting is however not a good sign... so keep a close watch for sure.

Hi, im good. Hope your well.

For the last 3 cycles I’ve been spotting like 2 days before which is something new.

Apart from that still no luck after the miscarriage. X

Awwww hun. I don't know spotting is normal for some before a period. Not sure what it could be if it's just recently started. Have you spoke with your gp regards conceiving? Xx

Nope I’ve not spoken to gp as I think they would say try Ivf again which we currently can’t afford. X

Have they not offered you tests or anything? Your gp can't suggest ivf they can refer you after relevant tests to fertilty clinic and they could help you with making a decision. But I'd defo say some tests is what you need before any thing just to see what is going on xx

Yes have had the one where you have the dye put in to see if tubes are blocked an tubes had no blockages.

We’ve had a few tests done an they all came clear an diagnosed us with unexplained fertility. X
