I don't know where to go...

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.

K

    There's really just no way to know until hindsight what spotting means.  I'm so sorry that you've been through so much.  I really hope this is it for you!  Hope to see you over here soon!

    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.

    I would wait a day or two and take another test if your spotting doesn't continue...i really have no idea that is just what I would do.

    I know the feeling....  don't through in the towel just yet!!!!  If you took a HCG shot or other medication it can give you a false positive or false negative so don't put all you eggs in that basket!!..  I have heard of many with implatation bleeding.....  I am pregnant through IVF at 9 week and 6 days preggars.....  this past Monday I was spotting and found out everything was OK.....  They said sometimes it is just normal.  I have heard that all of the mediation that we are taking builds up the lining so much that it sometimes has to shed itself....  so you might have implantation bleeding...  I know this is tough...you have come this  far!!!  Good luck and keep me posted!!  Also, not sure if truth or myth but eats lots of pinnapple!!!  It is said to make a sticky uterus!

    Wow...I didn't expect so many wonderful responses so quickly.  It is so comforting to know that such nice ladies are out there.  I'm feeling better already.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart and I will absolutely let you know what happens in the next few days. Here's to a happy and healthy pregnancy to each and every one of you!

    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!

    I'd second uklawgirl's suggestion.  The infertility board is very friendly, and they know much more about your situation.  I hope that everything works out for you on this cycle or very soon in the future!

    Thank you for the suggestion.  I just figured I would start here because I didn't want to seem insensitive asking about women's experiences with their BFP's on a board where women are struggling to get pregnant and may not have experienced one yet.  I was just trying to be respectful.  But thank you, I appreciate the advice.
