5dp5dt

I'm more than halfway through my two week wait (that isn't really a full 2 weeks, thank goodness), and it's amazing how many different emotions I've been able to go through in just 5 days.  Two days ago I had mild lower pelvic cramping all day, and then had the tiniest bit of pink spotting - implantation symptoms!?  And then yesterday I felt nothing, and thought maybe I was wrong.  Then today I've felt lower pelvic cramping - almost like PMS - all day long.  This morning I was sure it was early pregnancy symptoms.  Then tonight I saw some more pink and light brown spotting in my Crinone, and decided that maybe it really is PMS.

It's really hard not to compare this cycle to prior cycles - the IUI cycle with Finn I had some PMS like cramping from 10dpo (which is basically the same point I'm at today), but no spotting.  But I was only on every other night Crinone, not twice a day Crinone, and most of my progesterone was coming from my own body, not a supplementation.  So there's just no way to be able to compare.

I had spotting before my period started with several of my failed IUIs last fall, but that spotting was dark red and dark brown.  But it was still spotting, so I can't help but think that this spotting tonight means my cycle is over, and I'll be heading back to Atlanta next month to transfer my other high quality embryo.

But I'm still hopeful.

Oh the two week wait is such a mind fuck.

My beta is scheduled for Wednesday, but of course I'll be testing early.  I've decided to POAS on Sunday morning.  If I don't get my period before then.

    There's never any way to compare, but there's always me having lots and lots of hope up north!

    Hmmm... This is just like my cycle that resulted in this pregnancy. Spotting 3dp5dt, a bit crampy. I know we're not the same person, but I think this is all very good! I am betting BFP! For the record, I got my BFP this cycle at 4dp5dt and the nurses said that's because it implanted so early on 3dp5dt. If you want to test now, you could get your BFP if it was implantation spotting. Just saying!

    I had spotting (which I think it's implantation bleed) on 4dp5dt.. my urine also started to smell different (maybe from the hcg). I heard pregnant women pee smells different.. don't go smelling your pee.:) I bet you are pregnant.

    I so hope that this is all a sign of implantation! It's amazing how nerve wracking the TWW can be, it really does mess with your sanity. I look forward to your post on sunday.

    Sounds hopeful to me! The spotting seems too early for indicating AF. Everything crossed for you here.

    The spotting actually makes it sounds very hopeful to me. I have a good feeling you will not need to go to ATL :-)

    I'm hopeful for you too! I just zipped past your last few posts, I'm so sorry about Vagus. Loving anything can exact such a price from you.

    It would be so cool if both kiddos implanted on day 10 :) Sending good luck wishes your way, especially with tomorrow's test!

    I was told something like 75% of IVF pregnancies spot.

    I did.

    And tested definitely positive 6 days after transfer...

    Can't wait!
