Spotting and cramping

in Infertility Veterans

I don't know what to think. I took a FRER this morning and it was a BFN (I am 7dp5dt FET). I took another $Tree this afternoon and there was a faint line. I never thought $Tree would be more sensitive than a FRER!! I was really happy for a couple of hours UNTIL I started getting bad AF-type cramps mid-afternoon. I just went to the bathroom and there was brown blood. I am calling my clinic tomorrow and getting an early beta, but my guess is that this is a chemical. I am so freaking upset right now.

TTC #1 since 7/09
Dx: LPD, underdeveloped follicles, blocked left tube
3 C/P, 1 BO, 1 Ectopic
IVF#1=BFN (3/11)
FET#1=BFP

    Brown spotting is common in pregnancy.  Many of us had brown spotting early on.  And I had cramping the whole time too.  I think it was from the progesterone.  I always felt like AF was coming at any minute.

    If it was red flow, then I would be worried.

    I am keeping my fingers crossed for you.
