Lynnie!!!! You are what, 11DPO? I didn't get a + (VERY VERY faint) until 12dp ovulation. DO NOT give up yet! I was feeling the same way you were when I first tested but there's still hope.

Also do not forget that the spotting may be implantation bleeding! I think it's certainly too early for AF. As for the twinges, they come and they go.

Lynnie - don't give up just yet - this culd be implantation bleeding like kerpupples said. Also with the PIO shots you are taking spotting is very common. Also since the PIO shots have both progesterone and estrogen, this cannot be AF (my RE had told all this to me). So hang in there. And peeing on the stick might be a little too early. Wait till couple of days and then try. I am sure its just spotting - little ones are snuggling deeper into mommy :)

Lynnie, I do know exactly how you feel. I got a BFN this morning when I POAS. I basically cried and cried in front of DH, and he feels quite terrible as well. He blames himself, but there's no one to blame..it's more of a WHY us... I don't know if it's still too early. I'm 7dp5dt, is that too early? But my blood test is this friday tho...
So I'm still trying and wishing that the test is wrong..but unlikely, right? That negative line came on like lightning, very dark line... :(

newtoivfgirl - for my first BFP I did not get a + on a HPT until the night before my beta, and it was very very faint. So it's still a bit early for you to give up hope too hon!

How are you today lynniecat?

I did have some signs - breast tenderness, fatigue (I can barely keep my eyes open in the afternoon), and AF-like cramps. The tough thing is that these can also be side effects of the PIO.

Priya - you should still probably be encouraged! I'll be watching for your beta results!

Heh-- I sound like a downer. But any sign I thought I had is gone. I really feel so not pregnant. Tested this morning at 11 DPO and it was a BFN. Will test tomorrow, but I know deep down its not happening.

Priya! You sound like you got a keeper. I know that feeling of tired from before. It was so obvious! I hope you get your BFP. Since my clinic does betas so late, we all know long before hand (18 DPO).

From last failed cycle I know how much it sucks to take those shots till 18 DPO when every test you have taken is negative. I did it last time just cause I wanted to keep my cycle timed with their plans in case...

OH and thinks Kerpuppies! I know you got a faint one at 12 DPO, but I think they come late with the FETS. I wonder why...

lynnie - I actually didn't get a line in my fresh BFP cycle until 13dpo. I do know what it feels like though, to not feel pregnant. I'm still holding out hope for you though!

Thanks guys. I have been pg a couple times before and it was clear to me. I could tell. I will test, but I have a phone appt at CCRM in Denver on Monday. Just got my paperwork out to them today.

I plan to try one more round with them. Maybe start some DHEA as well. I know there will be down time, so I am HOPING to get some clomid -- we went straight to IVF. Anyway, who knows, it might happen naturally. We also have coverage for IUI. So I could try that too.
