SPOTTING

Girls

A bit of advice really.

A couple of clear blue normal HPT test showed faint positives yesterday but when I did the Clear Blue digital ones they took ages to register and they both said NOT PREGNANT. When I removed both cartridges, they both had two blue lines, one darker than the other.

spotting today is heavier and more like a brownish, pinky, redish colour. Ran clinic and they said probably AF but i don't have any cramps.

Has anyone had heavy spotting and gone onto a BFP. Got HCG blood test tomorrow.

I would see your HPTs as a very good indicator of a BFP! It is very rare to get a false positive and the trigger shot should be out of your system by now.

I don't have personal experience with spotting - but I know a lot of women here do from what I have read. Implantation can take several days and that can cause spotting around the time AF is due. I have also heard that progesterone suppositories can cause spotting as well.

I would be feeling hopeful b/c of the HPTs!! GOOD LUCK!!

We are all rooting for you!

Sounds like a BFP to me. But rest a while if you can. When do you go for your beta?

Parying hard that all is ok.

Ahhh thanks girls.

It's just that the clinic seemed so sure it was AF. Anyway spotting has calmed down a bit now, only there when I really wipe myself and poke around a bit. Got lower back ach though and slightly bloated today. Do you think this could be a good sign?

Did you tell your clinic you got a BFP on the home tests? I can't believe they would be so sure it was AF. On the paperwork I got from my clinic - it says that cramping and spotting are all side effects of the procedures and does not mean your treatment failed. If it is only there when you wipe - that sounds like spotting. Is this how your AF usually starts? I never get spotting - when my AF shows up she just comes ROARING in - lol!

Still - I feel good about you b/c of the HPT. I wouldn't give up hope.

Thanks Lisa

AF usually arrives full flow, but sometimes I have had spotting before AF so who knows. Just surprised that I dont have cramps and boobs are not sore, just feel heavy, plus I have back ache and bloating. Also feel like I need to pee quite often but not much comes out, although I do know that I dont have an infection or cystitis.

I guess tomorrow will tell me all I need to know.

Well I see these all as good signs. I had bad AF type cramps -but no spotting. Several women without cramps go on to BFPs too. The back ache, bloatedness, and frequet trips to the bathroom are all symptoms of BFP! I "feel your pain" b/c I was in your shoes last week - but hang in there! One more day!

My fingers are crossed for you!

Sharon,

Just wanted to say that I always get sore boobs (terribly bad) prior to AF. They have only NOT been sore on two occasions; both times I was pregnant!!!!!! There are no hard and fast rules here, unfortunately! Will be thinking of you. Take care. Hoping a BFP comes up for you.
