<human>: Hi, we have been ttc for 8 months now. Just wondering if there is cause for concern, since ttc obviously i have been more aware of my period patterns. Have noticed 7 days from my due period that i get a very light pink discharge usually only after using the bathroom when i wipe. It will last until i get my period. Is this normal and just start of my period or something else?
<bot>: Hello, Your symptoms can be called as premenstrual spotting. Please seek prescription support from your treating doctor for tablet Micronized natural progesterone twice a day for 10 days from day 15 of the cycle. This will help to stop premenstrual spotting, and you will start getting periods as such. For getting pregnant, I will suggest you to get following tests done:1. Please get your post menstrual HSG done-Hysterosalpingography, to know about the patency of fallopian tubes.2. USG to know about the structural normalcy of uterus and ovaries.3. Partners semen analysis to know about the quality and quantity of sperms. If all these reports are within normal limits, then most of the couples get pregnant within a year. You might be aware that in a woman with regular cycle, day 10 to 20 of the cycle is the most fertile period of the cycle. If you try to have unprotected sex activity in this period, at least on alternate days, then you stand good chance to get pregnant. Please opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen. Include more portions of fruits and vegetables and salads in daily diet. Chat Doctor.  Avoid refined sugars and deep-fried foods and bakery products in the diet. Please take Iron, Calcium, protein and vitamin B 12 and Folic acid supplementation on regular basis. This helps to prevent various complications during conception, pregnancy and childbirth. I hope this answer helps you. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
