I started spotting tonight, I do not have any cramps or anything though which I normally have with AF as soon as I start getting it. For the heck of it I decided to take another OPK to see what the result was, and the line was alot lighter than it was yesterday and the day before. So, I believe that the OPK theory is correct, and that I am probably pregnant but I am losing this little one. :( That has to be the case because what else could it be? The lines were there and very dark yesterday and the day before, but now today after I start spotting the line is lighter? That has to be what is happening here. I guess there is no need for me to talk to the nurse tomorrow about having a blood test done now. This here is the bad thing about testing this early. Had I never used anything to test with,(yeah right, like I would have been able to just not test at all..LOL)but if I had not tested at all, then I would have never known about possibly being pg, and I wouldn't know that I am most likely miscarrying my little baby that I have tried so long to concieve. Sorry for rambling, just pretty sad and disappointed. I guess I am going to start charting temps this cycle and hope that helps more. Good luck to all who are going to be testing and finding out test results from blood tests!! I will be crossing my fingers for everyone. I am glad this web site is here, it helps you to not feel alone.

Theresa,

Don't give up yet. I did spot with my DD in early pregnancy. How are you feeling this morning? Are you still spotting? Sit down and put your feet up. I am not giving up hope where you are concerned. I still have faith that you and I are going to be pregnancy buddies. So chin up. I did my pregnancy test today. It came back negative. I am still going for my blood test. Cause I might just still be too early for the pregnancy test to pick it up.

I am keeping you in my prayers. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

If you want to have positive children, be positive now.

I wouldn't give up either. I'm currently in the process of finding out what's going on with me. I think you read my post yesterday about getting what I thought was AF then taking a hpt and it coming up positive. I then went to the doctor for an Beta HcG test (still waiting for results). I'm still holding out hope even though I have a sick feeling that I'm m/c. The only reason I feel that way is because on Friday my flow was pretty heavy, that's what made me think it was AF, after that, it was just spotty. Plus, I've never charted my temps before but I started on Friday thinking it was the start of my cycle. I've continued since then and every day my temp has gone down (I don't think that's a good sign either). Anyway, I'm holding out hope until someone tells me something definate. I've been so up and down this last couple of weeks with thinking I was, then wasn't, then was again, I think anything is possible.

Spotting isn't always a bad sign, especially in early pregnancy. I've been told in fact that it is very common. When I called the nurse yesterday and told her my story, she said I was either m/c or just bleeding through a viable pregnancy. So, to me, she still has hope too. So, hang in there. Go ahead and get a blood test. You don't know and we don't know for sure. So, go get the test.

Good luck,

Susan
