I am not a doctor, but this happened to me. I started spotting only 7 days past ovulation and when I called my fertility clinic at 10 days past ovulation, they advised me to start progesterone, which led me to believe I still had a chance to be pregnant. I continued to spot for days 10 and 11. However, 12 days past ovulation (two days after starting progesterone) my period came. Although I think it's still possible to be pregnant with spotting and starting progesterone that late, if the spotting is related to your uterus lining breaking down, it is unlikely. I have a history of starting my period early despite having good progesterone levels, but if you do not have this history, it's possible your spotting is implantation spotting.

Im tracking periods for ovulation the first two days are very light dark spotting followed by 3-4 days of red heavier flow should you start counting the day of spotting or when you see red blood?

Start counting your period from the day you see the spotting if this happens every month. You could also do basal body temperature which will pinpoint ovulation, or use the Billings method.


What does it mean when you wipe and see brown blood but then it stops?

This is spotting, it's light bleeding that has mixed with your discharge. This can occur at the start of end of your period, or it may be spotting for another reason such as ovulation spotting.


What do it mean if you spot pink blood then brown blood two days before your period then it goes away the same day?

Spotting is normal before your period, it's just the start of your period as the uterine lining starts to shed. You can also get spotting after your period, or mid-cycle spotting around the time of ovulation.


If you have mid cycle spotting because of ovulation does that mean You start ovulation as soon as you begin spotting or when?

Spotting during ovulation is common in most women. The only way to tell if your ovulating is by doing a ovulation predictor kit/test which you can buy from the pharmacist or off Ebay. This will tell you if your ovulating. To expand: The Ovulation Predictor Kits can be a good way to tell if you are GOING to ovulate, but during/after you've ovulated they are no good. The only way to confirm you HAVE ovulated is to make a chart of your Basal Body Temperatures (you take your temp VERY first thing at the same time every morning before you do ANYTHING else, even go pee) or to go to a gynecologist and have them perform an ultrasound to see if you've released any eggs. It IS common to spot a little during/right before ovulation, but heavy bleeding could signify something serious. If you're spotting you're either just about to ovulate, or currently ovulating.(It's about a 12-24 hour window for most women.)


How does progestrone start your period?

Progesterone doesn't start your period, it's actually the drop in progesterone that starts your period. Progesterone caused the uterus lining to build up, if pregnancy doesn't occur the progesterone level drops causing the uterine lining to break down - menstruation.

What is can go wrong if you have implantation bleeding?

Implantation Bleeding After ovulation the egg travels into the uterus and burrows into the lining of the uterus. For some women implantation will cause slight bleeding or spotting. This is called implantation bleeding. This is sometimes confused for an early period. What does implantation bleeding or spotting look like? Implantation bleeding, also called implantation spotting, does not look like a regular menstrual period. Implantation bleeding is scanty and usually pink or brownish discharge. Implantation bleeding or menstrual period? Implantation bleeding normally occurs a week to a few days before your period would normally start. Spotting that occurs around a week after ovulation is likely implantation bleeding; whereas, spotting that occurs very close to the time that your period would normally start may not be. A normal menstrual cycle generally starts off light and then gets heavier. Spotting can sometimes be the sign of an early period. If this is the case, the spotting will pick up to heavier bleeding. If you have spotting right around the time your period would normally start, it can be more confusing. You will need to take the wait and see approach or take a pregnancy test to determine pregnancy.


What is brown stuff before your period?

The brown stuff is known as 'spotting' it is just blood mixing with discharge, it turns brown when it comes in contact with air. This is just the start of your period, you can also get it at other times such as at the end of your period or around ovulation.


What is the role of progesterone in the reproductive cycle of the horse?

Progesterone is the hormone that maintains pregnancy in the cow. This is a sort of "barrier" that prohibits any hormonal reaction that would trigger the cow to begin parturition. If the progesterone "barrier" breaks down, estrogen levels increase promoting the consequential reaction to begin labour. Progesterone is still an important hormone when the cow is not pregnant. Progesterone levels increase to allow the corpus luteum to degrade and the ovary to start development of new oocytes or ovums. Progesterone levels begin to increase soon after ovulation (which occurs after the standing heat period), and last for around 20 days until the ovum reaches maturity and estrogen levels increase again.


Your period is late and you have some spotting?

Hi there, usually if you have spotting before your period or roughly the same time, it could be a sign of implantation bleeding as this can happen anywhere between 6+ days after ovulation, since you have indicated that you are spotting after your expected period it could either be a very very light period and that you could be pregnant or it is the start of your period. Good luck and hope this helps. PS if you have missed your period now would be a good time to test!!


If you are spotting a week before your period what does that mean?

Well, its pretty simple. If you are spotting, you are spotting. If its your period you will be bleeding constantly. When womnen spot it is usually just spots of blood, not even enough that you have to where a pad or tampon. When on your period, you would not dare walk out with out one. Lastly,a period can last for maybe a week at the most, spotting can last on and off for ever.
