Hi ladies,
AF started Thursday 29th Dec - a bit earlier than usual - and was as normal as it always was... by day 5 it was very light and I was beginning to get the brownish discharge (sorry TMI) I get this every cycle and it's not like a "flow" of it like AF (if that makes sense) and usually lasts a day or 2 at most. Now on cycle day 8 I feel like I am getting AF all over again, am a but crampy and the brownish is continuing but a bit more like a "flow" of it. Today it seems to be getting red... which is sometimes what AF is like when she is about to arrive. This has never happened before, and my cycles have always been anywhere between 29-37 days long! Midway through my last cycle, I had some of the brown discharge for a couple of days, but only when I wiped, it then went away. This has never happened before..... DH and I are trying to conceive #2, and have been since August 2011. I had my first ever Chem Preg in Sept - preg after first try in August.... so am starting to think the worst.... Dr Google doesn't help LOL 
Any ideas ladies??? 
Am going to go to doc tomorrow, but thought I would see if anyone knows anything first... put my mind at rest for the night ------------- TTC #2 6+ yrs. Multiple chemical losses, 4 IVF rounds, multiple FET's. Fingers still crossed for a miracle to come our way

| Yes i was the same. I went to the doctor and she referred me to do some blood test and i ended up changing my diet and after that my period flow came back to normal. |

Hi Tashbet,
Congrats on your preg! Glad it worked out for you and wasn't anything to serious.... my fingers are crossed it's nothing with me either.... did it take you long after you changed your diet for you to get preg?  ------------- TTC #2 6+ yrs.

I have been having 'spotting' around ovulation for about a year now, and can only assume it is to with that so maybe is it the same for you...whatever I have googled says it is a good fertility sign but considering we have been trying for so long I don't think it is for us lol! -------------
