[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you asking about spotting - it *is* a sign of a problem. Your period should just start, all at once. If you are experiencing pre-period spotting, it is *usually* caused by low progesterone levels (which definitely decline as you get older), fibroids, or endometriosis (this was my situation). If you are just starting to get spotting, you may want to ask your doctor to run a 7 DPO blood test to check your progesterone levels... if it is low P that is causing the spotting, you can take P supplements and it's a pretty easy fix.[/quote] I also have pre-period brown spotting and have been told by 2 OBs, my internist, and my RE that it's nothing. Hormone levels, including progesterone, are good. No fibroids. No endometriosis. Not saying it can never indicate a problem, just that there is a very wide range of normal and I don't think the spotting is always indicative of a problem.[/quote]
