Question

Spotting before ovulation, two weeks before period is expected?

I have somewhat irregular cycles that have been anywhere from 26-33 days and I ovulate around CD 18-24. This cycle is predicted to be 30 days and I might ovulate around CD22. I've been getting negative OPK's CD 16,17,18,19 but have had spotting days 18 and 19. First it was red, brown and pink in ewcm and then pink ewcm with bright red streaks. Only a little light pink shows up on panty liner and occasionally when I wipe. This is not normal for me before ovulation. Could it be ovulation bleeding or what else could cause this? I'm supposed to take progesterone this cycle after I get a positive OPK, so this is just worrying me that I might be getting my period early.

Light spotting can also be an ovulation symptom. Have you seen your gyn regarding your irregular cycles?

I have, yes. I suffered from weight loss-induced hypothalamic amenorrhea and then a mmc last Aug. and just went in regarding short lp, hence the progesterone. Today is day 3 of spotting and is still very light.

For me those things were a symptom of low progesterone, I would talk to your doctor about having you progesterone levels checked.

Update - I never got a positive opk this cycle. Thought I had a faint positive hpt on cd28 so I called the nurse and she said to start taking the progesterone because it wouldn't hurt anything. I'm on cd34 now, so a few days after my expected period and all other hpt's have been negative, so it was prob just an evap!! :( I guess I should probably stop taking the progesterone today.
