Regular bleeding is normal menstrual bleeding at regular term. However, unregular bleeding is a very broad topic for fertility treatment in regard to amount, time, color, smell, etc.
Here I want to talk about bleeding during pregnancy. It is important to do BBT charting due to the limit of pregnancy testing at home. If patient passes her menstrual time without bleeding, then BBT can help giving hint about her pregnancy.
What if patient passes her menstrual time with prolonged bleeding, most of instinct from doctor is just to stop bleeding with medicine such as provera. What if this is a bleeding during pregnancy? It is not likely, but there is a chance. Recently, I have a patient who had month long treatment in my clinic and bleeding right after ovulation time. And she did not do BBT. She did not have any abnormal test as she said. So I did normal fertility treatment which is OK even if pregnancy is confirmed. She did not want to take herbs for stopping bleeding. And her doctor has prescribed Provera. But she was hesitate in taking provera. So she took a pregnancy test which shows positive. I recommend her for blood test further confirming her pregnancy. Therefore, body basal testing is very important. The treatment with herbs can be different for pregnancy and for menstrual. She is very happy that she got pregnant.
Bleeding during confirmed pregnancy is also important for interception by Chinese Medicine with acupuncture and Chinese herbs. It shall be taken care of, and can be handled.
