Can clomid cause spotting?

[sunflowersNC]

First round of Clomid 50 mg, and I have been spotting since 10 dpo - today is 14 dpo. It's very mild, only happens sometimes when wiping, and it's brownish. Has anyone experienced this leading up to AF?
Could this be a cyst?

HEY - could it be Implantation bleeding??????????????????

If you are 10DPO that's when you are supposed to get it I think!

I've never heard of spotting from Clomid ooooh I hope it's implantation bleeding!

14 DPO is when either AF should show her ugly face, or it could be implantation bleeding! I hope it's implantation!!! I do get brownish spotting before I get AF - it's my body getting ready for a new cycle. You should be good to test! Have your POAS??? KUP!! I hope it's a BFP!!

I am having the same thing. I have been spotting since 9DPO, CD 25. Today is 12DPO, CD 28. The spotting was somewhat heavy for spotting, but it has been the brown stuff too. I actually expected AF to show up today because my temp dropped, but instead the spotting has mostly stopped. So, I don't know what is going on! I tested at 10DPO, and it was a BFN.

I am so sure that this is leading up to AF, that I haven't bothered to take another test. I guess if AF doesn't show up by Tuesday, I will test again, but with the amount of spotting and my drop in temps, I am pretty sure I am out again this month. This same thing happened to me last month before Clomid.

I hope you have a better result than I am expecting though!

Every month I've been on Clomid (3) I have started spotting at 10 or 11 DPO. AF shows on 14 or 14 DPO.

Oh good - so I'm not the only one! Freaked my out! I got AF today - at 16 DPO. At least now I can move on with my next cycle.

Sla76 - Were you ever concerned the spotting might be a luteal phase defect or low progesterone? That was my only worry, or is it just old blood and no big deal?

[sla76]

I don't really know...I mentioned it to my nurse last time and she just sort of dismissed it.
Plus I've always (while on Clomid) had really good progesterone results, so I wouldn't think it would have anything to do with that.
But who knows... :?
