Question 1

i have pcos i currently started taking clomid (clomiphene) on cycle day 5-9 now i'm spotting brown 6 days post ovulation what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

?: Brown blood is old blood. It means you had some sort of bleeding in the past. It takes time for the old blood to show up as spotting. Therefore, what it means is hard to say but not necessarily abnormal.

Question 2

what causes brown spotting?

Accepted Answer

Spotting: Does this occur after physical activity or after sex? Are you on the birth control pill? Have you gained or lost weight recently?  If this started recently, it may be due to a polyp on the cervix or inside your uterus.  An ultrasound may help to identify what is going on.

Question 3

what could this brown spotting be?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Please restate your question with more detail about the timing and frequency of spotting.
Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Depends.: The brownish tint suggests that the blood has been in the uterus for a while before it came out.  Pinkish means it's a small amount of blood diluted by other fluids in the uterus and vagina.  If you want to know what it means, we need information about the pattern of the spotting.   Does it come between periods, after intercourse or after a period.  With that information, we can answer that too.
