I am sorry no one has answered your questions, maybe the pre-af spotting is due to low progesterone during your lp? Maybe for one cycle you can try the progesterone cream some ladies talk about using. If it stops the spotting for that cycle then you know what has been going on. I hear it can be picked up at a GNC store or online. I hope this helps :-)

I get this, 4 days before AF like clockwork I get pink/brownish spotting during checks. That way I know AF is on her way... I know it's my body's way of telling me that AF is coming. I've not had a bfp since I started checking so an answer to this would be grand :D
GL and baby dust to you all xxx

Some minor spotting before AF can be normal as long as it's light and doesn't last long. I often have pre-AF spotting and I had my progesterone levels checked and they were great--and I am now pregnant! Do not use progesterone cream unless instructed to do so by a doctor. Also, you may have a sensitive cervix, which can cause minor spotting as well. Good luck!

Thanks ladies..to the member who is pregnant- congrats! also, did you experience the spotting with CP the month you got your bfp? I am only having spotting when checking, nothing else. With a the symptoms I have post-ov I am thinkin my progesterone is ok. I am curious to know if everytime this happens I can rule myself out for the month:(

I check my cervical position a lot, and I never spot except the day AF arrives.

I did have spotting the month I got my BFP... a teeny bit of brown w/ CM around 5dpo and some red blood around 9/10 dpo--implantation. GL to you!
