Frustrated and confused...TMI alert

WinniePoo

Ok so I'm just frustrated and confused right now. I don't know if I'm on CD1 or 17dpo. I called my RE and I will most likely have to go have a blood BETA today even though I know it is negative. TMI, but here is what is going on. I started spotting Saturday. Then I spotted Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. On Saturday and Sunday it was a bright pink/red color and only once each of those days. Monday it switched over to a brownish/pink color. Tuesday is was both the brownish/pink and a red wine color. Finally Tuesday night it was heavy enough where I thought it warrented going to bed with some protection. So I'm thinking finally! I wake up this morning and there is barely anything on my protection! WTF! I swear she is just staying away long enough for me to have to get stuck in the arm with a needle. Has anyone else ever had an incredibly weird period like this without something being wrong? Or are my hormone levels so out of whack that my whole system is just messed up??? This is going to be another long day.

NOT TO GET YOUR HOPES UP, BUT i too had the same kind of spotting on 17dpo.. i swore it was Af coming and called my RE to make my appt for baseline. when i went in they had me do a beta also,as routine, and come to find out my beta was 32! whichs means a bfp! and it keeps going up, slowly but surely.... fri it was 55 and yesterday was 180.. i have to go back next tuesday for another beta cause i am a slow riser..

let me know how your beta is..

this is such an emotional rollercoaser..you just got to stay positive! im trying too!
hope this helps!

Is there any possibility that it could be implantation bleeding? Because that's how thinsg happened for me, how you were describing... and I got my BFP a week ago MOnday. DOn't lose hope just yet! I am hanging in there for you!

I guess anything is possible. I have been taking very very sensitive HPTs (ones that read at 20) and they have all been negative. That is why I'm 99% sure that I am not pregnant and that it is something else causing things to be screwy. But you're right...anything is possible and until I have b/w that tells me otherwise I won't know. Obviously I will let everyone know what my BETA results are once I have them....if I have them....my RE could want to wait a couple more days.

This happens to me sometimes. I always have very light periods though. I hope everything gets back to normal soon. Good luck!

This did happen to me last month following my IUI. AF came about a week late and she sure let me know when she was here! I hope yours goes the other way, but I think it is really just our bodies reacting to all the hormones that we have and all the emotions of this process. Good luck to you!
