Does anyone experience spotting prior to AF? These last few cycles, I've had about 2 days of spotting prior to AF showing up, but I'm now going on day 5 of spotting. I was convinced both yesterday and today that AF was coming, but then it stopped. This is our first cycle of TTC and I'm 7 dpo and making myself insane. I'm planning on calling the doctor once AF shows just to ask about the spotting b/c I've read that it can be due to low progesterone. My luteal phases have also been super short, like 6-8 days so I'm a little concerned about that and TTC. Anyone have similar experiences? After making myself nuts these past few days, I will definitely be drinking a glass of wine at our anniversary dinner tonight!
Yes this is new to me post-pregnancy as well. I'm not as concerned regarding the spotting, but more the short luteal phases. My cycle prior to this was 22 days long, with ovulation at day 16 (according to my temps). I barely thought about it prior to TTC but now that we are, I'm making myself crazy!

have you tried supplementation? vitamin B6 is supposed to help lengthen luteal phase, and there is also a progesterone cream you could use after you ovulate.

No I haven't but I've read about it. Thanks for the suggestions, I think I'll try that next cycle.
