I think AF came but she's 6 days late. She was so late that I schedules a Pg test at the OBGYN for tomorrow morning. I spotted since last monday, just brown mucous once a day. I'm NEVER late, so I thought this was IT. I had all of the signs, heartburn, lightheadedness, nausea, headache, fullness, two weeks of very mild cramping and then all of the sudden this morning I woke up with AF like cramps and alot of brown blood. What is going on? I don't temp. All of my HPT came out BFN. Am I just late? Did I miscarry? I'm so angry, I hate this emotional roller coaster! I went to breakfast this morning and sat next to a woman with a 2yo and another one on the way. This did not help my mood. So, ladies, do I keep my appt tomorrow with the doctor? Am I out of the game this month?

Help, Robyn

There's still a possibility that you are pg. Many women spot brown blood around the time their period is due. This is caused by implantation. Brown blood is old blood, it means that you are not actively bleeding. I had brown spotting from 16dpo-20dpo and I was pg, so try not to worry. Go to your doctor appt tomorrow and find out! Have you taken an HPT?

I agree - maybe the brown blood you got was implantation and it's still too early to tell via a HPT...perhaps you miscalculated when you O'd and therefore when you're thinking you should be getting your period, you were really o'ing? (if that makes sense?!) On the flip side - I had a cycle last month where I spotted off and on for about a week and a half before getting AF so I don't know...sometimes our bodies just do strange things. Keep the appt. I think and even you aren't pg., at least you can talk to the dr. about all of this and get his/her opinions. Good luck to you - I hope it all works out for you soon! As far as the woman w/ the 2 yr old and one on the way - instead of being upset (although totally understandable!!) try to think that she TOO may have had some problems in TTC for all you know and yet it finally all clicked for her...or maybe the 2 yr.old was someone else's and she is just pg. for the 1st time? Who knows - I try to just remember that you just don't know someone else's situation so try not to let yourself get carried away thinking the grass is always greener... BEST wishes to you :-)
