Spotting... think this is the end **possible loss**

So... I started spotting today. Started out a little brownish pink, but has now gone to red. Despite my good second beta yesterday, I think this is the beginning of the end for me this time. I know spotting can be nothing and everything still turn out okay, but... I am spotting just like I usually do before AF starts, so I am not feeling very optimistic. My doc just said there was nothing to be done, just wait & see what happens. If I reach full period like bleeding, go to ER. Otherwise, we'll see what we can see at u/s next Wednesday.

I am trying just to focus on the fact that I got this far. Now I know I am at least capable of getting a BFP.

    Alas, no early u/s. I'm 6 weeks tomorrow, but the nurse said it was too early to really see anything but a sack and whatever they would see wouldn't really tell us anything, so might as well wait until Wednesday and see what happens in the meantime. Not emotionally satisfying, but probably medically sound. :-( I am, however, much more tempted to take my OBGYN big sister up on her offer for a sneak peek u/s on Sunday -- despite the distinct weirdness of my sister using the vag cam on me.
