Hi ladies...I'm not sure if this is an appropriate place for me to post, so please don't be offended or upset with me. I am so emotional right now and don't have anyone to talk to who understands. I'm hoping that some of you wonderful women can just give me a little hope.
My husband and I are on our 21st cycle TTC. This month was my second IUI. I had 5 mature follicles, my E2 levels were perfect and my husbands sperm numbers were good too. Today I am 12dpiui. I have a beta scheduled for Friday. I had a negative HPT this morning, all day I've had lower back pain, AF cramping and pink spotting. I thought (just as all of you probably are) that AF had reared her ugly head so I put in a tampon. (Sorry for the TMI) But...now...there is nothing really on it. Just some brownish discharge. No red.
Is there a chance this could be implantation or should I just throw in the towel and start preparing myself for another month down the drain?
Any stories, advice or experiences would be so appreciated. Thank you in advance for anything you can offer.

Re: I don't know where to go...
First, sorry you've have such a hard time conceiving. I hope this is the cycle for you!
I did have some spotting at 11dpiui, and I've had cramping off and on ever since with some very intense lower back pain (I'm 6w3d), so none of the symptoms you're describing automatically mean a negative.
Your levels may have been too low to show up on an HPT, but the beta will definitely tell you what's up.
I wish I had an answer in the meantime, but I hope that you don't get a normal AF and that your beta is good on Friday. I think the only thing that would help you now is patience, and since I have none of that I guess I really don't have any advice. You have my good thoughts and prayers though.

Blue eyes, I would try the boards for Infertility or Trouble Trying to Conceive. I know many women there will have experience with IUIs ,etc. You can find these boards by clicking on their names on the left side of the screen. Be sure to introduce yourself and get to know the group and not just post a question and run, and you will get a great response, I know.
Good luck!
