Took an HPT this morning

The good news is it is a BFP!  The bad news is I have been spotting since yesterday.  Not super heavy, but like I would get the day before AF starts.  Its still there today, and a tad bit heavier.  Now AF would have been due next wedensday/thursday, and I know this can be totally normal...implantation or such.  I also know I have told many other women on here that it can be very normal and not to stress, but I am stressed to the max here.  The BFP was a "no doubt about it" positive, so I am hoping this doesn't turn into another chemical on me.  Anyway, going to stay positive and only allow myself to think the best.  I am going to take another test on tuesday to double check, then will make an appointment with OB.  I guess I am asking for more prayers and positive thoughts here. It definatly looks like the ones you all sent for my BFP worked!!  Come on little bean, burrow in nice and deep and stay put!!

I'm so sorry you are going thru this yet again.  I have seen some of your posts, but forgive me for not knowing much of the details as I haven't been following much lately since the birth of my daughter.  I know your pain - I also have had 4 miscarriages in a row and finally the 5th pregnancy worked - so remember that if it is meant to be it will be and you will be a mommy!  Are you seeing an RE or just a regular OB?  I ask because my RE (my 2nd one) finally had the right combination of drugs for me - progesterone being one of them.  But he had me start it 3 dpo not after a positive test becuase he feels that is too late.  I know some doctors say before and some say after the positive so I wonder if you might be able to start it 3 dpo when you start to ttc again.  Please take your time....grieve and wait until you are ready again before ttc.  After my 4th loss, we took a break for about 5 months and cleared our heads and worked on getting me as healthy as possible before we started to try again - but with progesterone 3 dpo and it worked first time.  

Don't lose faith.....good luck and again, I am so sorry you are going thru this again.  Please feel free to ask me anything if you have any questions on what worked for me....

Hi Amanda, I feel your disappointment.  It will happen when you least expect it, I know it's hard not to think about it 24/7 but maybe taking a little break, focusing on other things wouldn't be such a bad idea.  You will make an awesome Mom and you will be blessed very soon!  Keep the faith, thoughts and prayers are with you!  Pam

Hey all,

I just got off the phone with OB's offfice.  HCG's were elevated, but not by much.  She said if I had 2 positve HPT's they must have been over 25 at some point, so there really isn't much chance here.  I knew it in my heart yesterday anyway, so not overly surprised.  I ranted and raved last night (sorry about that post), and now I will just wallow in self pity for a bit and once again move forward.  I may take a bit of a break from ttc for a bit, as that is now 4 in 9 months and its all getting to be a bit much for me.  Not giving up, just taking a break.  That may change by the time next O comes along, and maybe I will want to go for it again then...who knows.  Gonna take it day by day.  I think this one was a bit of an extra challange as tomorrow was the due date of the first pregnancy so emotions are running doubly high.  I am however counting my blessings that I do conceive so very easily and so hopefully its just a matter of time.  Thanks again for the support and hand holding....its gotta happen eventually right?  Hugs to you all.  Amanda
