Help - Probably 4 dpo and spotting?

Ok - added to my drama with late ovulation I just started spotting only 4 days after probable ovulation and 30 days late with AF - confusing huh?  It might be that af is coming but on the other hand what the hell is going on - the nurse said that my lining is thick and the progesterone is probably going up not down - so how could I be spotting for AF - damn it. My breast is still tender and I have cramps - and with the spotting my CM is creamy - what am - a freak of nature ;-(
Here is my chart - with the latest update (I was only charting in the midlle in this crazy cycle)

You are NO freak!!!!!!  Right before I started my IVF cycle, I spotted one day after I ovulated.  I had never spotted between periods before.  For a moment, I thought "oh, maybe I'm pregnant!"  then two days later AF came-- a 17 day cycle- I didn't even think that was possible!  I hope things clear up for you soon and you come to know what's going on.  Just know you are not alone!

I am here with you!! I have spotted for years. I have been to many Doctors  and all of them have told me not to worry that spotting is normal.  But my new Doctor told me that it was a lack of progesterone.  I am trying the progesterone cream to see if I will finally have a relief and if I am lucky to get a BFP.:)  I hope that it is implantaion bleeding  for you and that you get a BFP this month.  Keep us posted!

I totally feel you girl!! I had spotting for before my af for 11 months straight. It all started with the month I found out I was pg, then mc'd.

Luckly last month I did not have any spotting at all. I have no idea what to contribute it to, because I have tried so many different things. Last cycle I started using prog. cream, taking extra B6 and taking a higher dosage of clomid. Although I did not get my BFP it was sure nice not to have any spotting.

Is this the first time this has happened to you? Believe me, I know how frustrating it is, then you are just forced to wait to see if AF will ever come. My docotor told me that the spotting was not a big deal, well I told him, you deal with this cr*p every cycle and see if its not a big deal. He of course did not like this, so he just upped my dosage and told me to come back in three months. Men!!

Hopefully it will stop and it was just implantation bleeding. Please try to relax and know that there are so many of us going through the same exact thing. My theory is if that many women do spot, maybe it is not really that big of deal, even though it really sucks!!

Please keep me posted...... you are not a freak!!!!!!
