Ladies only... Spotting?

Yes, I have noticed that I started spotting in the last month but I think it's due to something else. I'm seeing my GYN tomorrow. I will mention it to him and see what he says!

No, I haven't experienced anything like that....but I'm not very far into this yet....but would love to know if anything fitness has to do with it.....

Pregnant perhaps? But, if you want more info go see your Doctor

My sister had that problem, but she also had some GYN issues...probably a good idea to ask your doctor! Hope you get the answers you need.

Hey ladies of MFP! Okay so yesterday I worked out for like... over an hour and it was very intense. It was the Burn it Up DVD which is cardio and resistance training. (More than I have been doing this week) I started spotting yesterday very lightly. I am not on any type of birth control... we practice natural family planning.... I just finished ovulating. I still have about a week and a half before I get my next period. I'm always regular and the only thing I can attribute this to is working out too hard. Have any of you ladies experienced this? I'm calling my Dr. to make sure - but just wanted to hear from you lovely ladies as well! Thanks!

Oh and I'm not experiencing any pain...

I actually just had this happen to me in January, and am being checked to make sure I dont have a polyp on my uterus. My dr said it is VERY unlikely it could be from exercising. He said that most time intense exercose would do the opposite and cause irregular periods or missed periods, but most likely not bring it on.

He did have me take like 5 HPTs to make sure I was not pregnat... so maybe you should check into that.

i haven't noticed that, but what I have noticed is that I'm late. It's like clockwork, I'm every 35 days! This time around it was 40 days! GRRR...makes it very hard to conceive (which we r trying for)...lol

I have been on here for 1 1/2 months and so far I haven't had any spotting, last month I was late by a few days but thats it, let us know what the doc has to say!!

If you are doing NFP, it is possibly implantation bleeding.

Sometimes bleeding occurs following ovulation because you may have already had a small cyst on your ovary (which is normal for ovulating women), and when your egg left its little sac, the cyst may have dissolved (or ruptured) with it. The cyst may have had a little bit of blood in it (they call that a "hemorrhagic cyst") and that could be where it came from. These little "functional" cysts can sometimes have blood in them mixed with the clear fluid because when they form, they can form too quickly and stretch the surface of the ovary too fast which causes bleeding, and the blood will go into the cyst.

I learned all about this stuff while I struggled with severe endometriosis for a long time..... I had cysts with blood in them, but they were much larger and due to my disease, so that is something entirely different.

I am experiencing the same thing. I have very irregular periods and have been trying to get pregnant for 5 yrs (just took a test-neg). I never spot. The only thing I can say is its due to excercise.
