Question

Two months of spotting. What's going on?

So I have irregular cycles and always have. My last normal period was February 28th. I thought I got my period on April 8th, but it was light bleeding for a few hours. Then I thought I got it a gain last night, but It was only when I wiped.
We have been ttc since August. I have been on clomid, provera, and metformin. We have used opk. Right now I am not on any meds, because I wanted to give my body a break.
Any thoughts?

I have irregular cycles and spotting. I have endometriosis, adenomyosis, a hydrosalpinx and lots of adhesions. However, no one has every explained how the irregular cycles and spotting fits in. Some of the endo is in one ovary and also in my vagina and apparently endo implants can bleed at a different timing to the regular endometrial layer, so perhaps it is to do with that. Interestingly, the spotting didn't happen when I was on a medicated IVF cycle. They had me on progesterone pessaries in the 2ww. It could be a progesterone deficiency. Vitex agnus castus may help to regulate a cycle. Licorice may also have a role to play, as may wild yam. Do look into all side effects/ risks/ contraindications before taking any herb. In particular, check you are not pregnant as some herbs should not be taken if pregnant.


5 years TTC. Endometriosis and adenomyosis. Surgery. 2 IVFs. No joy. Low ovarian reserve. Is there any real hope? DE IVF = next step. Much higher success rates, but so used to things not working, it's hard to feel too hopeful. Wishing others an easier time.
