Is spotting while taking 100mg of Clomid normal?

I am 27 years old. I became pregnant at 18 and lost our child. I got pregnant again with my son when I was 19 and had him when I was 20. My husband and I started trying again shortly after he was born. Due to my lack of ovulation, it was very difficult. Much to our suprise 5 years later, I became pregnant. Unfortunatly, it was an etopic pregnancy, found at 9 1/2 weeks. We were unable to treat it with medication and required major surgery. We have tried on and off for the last 2 years. My OB/GYN has started me on 100mg of Clomid (due to lack of ovulation...I haven't had a period in over a year) I took 100mg days 5-9. We were suppose to have scheduled sex days 11-26. We did have sex before our "scheduled" time. On day 12 I started spotting, not much only a bit when I wipe after urinating. I do not need any sort of protection. I am on day 14 now and still spotting (still lightly.) Is this normal with 100mg of Clomid or is something I should be worried about?

I assume you did a pregnancy test, always the first step. This is ususally not a problem with Clomid, so I have a hard time relating it to that. Intecourse, everyday 11 to 26 is alot for any man to maintain an adequate sample, I would make sure these are the right directions. Are you sure your tubes are open after the surgery, do you have both tubes? Finally, have your Gyn do a good exam to check for other sources of bleeding, cervical infection, UTI, etc.
Hope this helps,
JM
