Does this happen to you...may be tmi
Some months when I get AF all I get is brownish discharge (sorry, I told you...tmi) for the 3 - 5 days AF is here. Some months it's full on. I was wondering if I am O'g or not during these months. I'm 2 months off bc, so I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it.
Just wondering if anyone questioned this with their gyn (assuming this happens to anyone else). I did and she didn't seem concerned. I'm ttc now so I want to make sure I'm O'g and can predict when it happens.

Re: Does this happen to you...may be tmi
hmmm...to be honest, doesnt sound good to me. My dr was a "little" worried about the amount of brown spotting I get before getting full blwon AF.
I would mention it again. Say that you did some research and it doesnt appear to be 100% normal. What would cause this. Maybe try to force a better answer out of the DR.
Brown is old blood. So if your having that, its usually from the PREVIOUS cycle, and that "could" indicate a luteal phase defect. But it could, doesnt mean you do, so I dont want to cause any un needed worry or anything.
Do you knwo how long it is from ovulation to AF for you?

Re: Does this happen to you...may be tmi
When I had annovulatory cycles my AF was ONLY that brown blood and I know I wasn't ovulating.
You should probably be charting to confirm you are ovulating every month.
I notive a huge difference between the flow when I am ovulating and when I am not.

Re: Does this happen to you...may be tmi
annovulatory means that you didn't ovulate. Speak to your Dr.

Re: Does this happen to you...may be tmi
You should have started this morning but you can start tomorrow. Your temps will be in the lower range as you are pre-O. Too much to explain here but here are some links:

This can be confusing, I am pretty internet savvy and had a hard time getting started. It might be easier in the beginning to print out a chart and record your temps manually. Just do a google search for basal body temperature chart. Here is a good website that explains the basicsInfo
Good Luck-Redstar knows a bunch and is always helpful so you can FM her if you have questions-or me but I don't know that much!

you might also want to stop by barnes & noble and pick up a copy of Taking Charge of Your Fertility.
Charting helped me get a better handle on what my body was doing.
