orange discharge before AF

Just a quick question and hoping I am not the only one.
Before my expected AF, I usually notice an "orange" colored discharge.  It occurs a week before AF or a few days before.
Can anyone else relate to this?  Is this "spotting"?
Thanks
PS  If anyone has some *Baby Dust* hanging around... could you send some my way. DH and I have been TTC for 5 months now.  AF is due tomorrow and I KNOW she will be making a bee- line straight to me :(

A week before your period is due seems a little early for it to be spotting before you period.  Orange colored discharge such as you have is usually indicative of some sort of infection.  I would say most likely bacterial vaginitis, although it could be a cervical problem.  It would probably be best to get checked by your ob to be on the safe side.  Hopefully it is nothing -- and even if it is bacterial vaginitis, it is very common and easily treated.  Since you are trying to get pregnant, it is best to have this checked out ahead of time.  While most infections are not a problem, it is always best to be in optimal health when trying to concieve.  

****Baby Dust*****

Good luck to you,
