Beta and Period

Post by kim0907 »

I had my Beta this morning and am waiting for the results. I have had on and off very very light brown discharge since Thursday, cramps, everything that would indicate I am starting my period. The Dr on Thursday upped my progestrone to 3cc's a day and 2 Estrace pills (started estrace and had already increased Progestrone due to low levels last Wed. I took a pregnancy test on Friday and it was negative, but after coming back to it I noticed a VERY faint (meaning you have to look at it just the right wat to see it) line. I know that could still be the HCG leftover from the retrieval on the 13th (transfer was on the 15th).

When I woke up in the middle of the night to urinate, I wiped and there was thin pinkish red blood fresh and not just discharge, but blood. I put in a pad and went back to bed. When I went to the bathroom again an hour and a half later, no blood, just that tiny bit of discharge again. I haven't had another bleeding episode since, but have a pad in just in case. Is it just inevitable that my period will start today? I am very crampy and feel like I am going to start any minute. I am freaking out and the day long wait will be excruiciating.

Thanks for all your help. I'm completely expecting a negative beta, but there's still just a hold out of hope.
