First post/spotting before periods

This is my first post here, so I guess I should start off by sharing a little of my story first...

My husband and I were TTC for about 5 months last year unsuccessfully. We started up again this past March, and were shocked with a BFP in July thinking we were out of the running yet again. I found out at around 9DPO because I've been experiencing brown spotting for about 1 week before my period begins every month since last December. The doctor had prescribed me something to "reset" my period, and I was to start taking it when the spotting started. He also stressed that I test first because I couldn't take it if I was pregnant, and sure enough I was! Since I was spotting, I went in for blood work a few times and everything was progressing normally. I had a sono at 5 weeks and things looked good, spotting had even slowed and I was getting a ton of symptoms. Unfortunately, that all changed a couple of days short of the 7 week mark and I miscarried in the office while waiting for a sonogram. As I'm sure you all know, it's been a very difficult few weeks.

The doctor doesn't seem concerned with the spotting, and believes that what happened was unrelated, but I still find myself questioning that. Basically I'm just curious as to whether anyone else has experienced this pre-period spotting, or has had a similar situation. I know 1-2 days of spotting is normal, but this is 7-10 days. I haven't gotten my period yet, and the doctor says there is a chance this will reset things naturally and we can start trying again after two normal cycles. Just wondering if maybe I should start thinking about seeing an RE, basically right now I'm just lost and would appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance! Chat Icon

Since my mc I've spotted for anywhere between 1-6 days before my period where in the past it was 1-2 days. Doc ran tests made sure I have no polyps or anything and everything was fine. He said it happens...
