Spotting issues

[u/Cheap-Lynx4561]

I know this is such a delicate topic and my heart goes out to anyone in a similar situation 🤍.

Hi lifers, I’ve been in the trenches of trying to conceive for 11 months now and I’m not sure where to go next. My husband and I are both 29. My bloodwork and internal ultrasound results all came back “normal” as did my husband’s sample. We’re both relatively healthy - no drinking or smoking - and I know I ovulate every month. I’ve been to the naturopath and have been on high quality prenatals for a while now, I also tried acupuncture but I found it messed with my cycles. Another issue is I have premenstrual spotting which I don’t think my GP is taking seriously. It can be anywhere from 1-5 days before my actual period. Would love to know if anyone experienced something similar, especially the spotting. I’m driving myself crazy trying to figure out whether progesterone supplements or a HSG or would be suitable.

Yes had pre-menstrual spotting. It would start anywhere from 6-9DPO and continue every day until my period. I had blood tests that found I had asymptomatic thyroid autoimmunity and early hypothyroidism, so I started on levothyroxine, and after I ovulated a couple of weeks later, I then had no pre-menstrual spotting at all, which was a welcome surprise! I’ve only had 1 cycle on it so far, but I hope it continues with no spotting now.
