[quote=Anonymous]Hi everyone --- This is mostly just a vent because I feel like this forum would understand.  I'm scheduled for my first visit to Dr. Frankfurter at GW tomorrow; referred by my OB because of irregular cycles (40 days long, 8 day luteal phase, all following a miscarriage last December).  My period (based on the short luteal phase) was due to start Saturday or Sunday.  I started to get light spotting Sunday, but it never progressed to a real period, even for me, and has now basically dried up.  I had implantation bleeding with my earlier pregnancy (which ended in miscarriage), so after initially being disappointed by the appearance of my period, was hopeful that this might be implantation bleeding again.  I took a pregnancy test this morning (Wondfo) and it was negative, although it would only be about 10-11 DPO (based on Clear Blue Fertility Monitor).

So, anyway, I have all sorts of emotions, and feel like I'm in total limbo!  On the one hand, I am disappointed that it looks like my period was starting and there's no BFP.  On the other hand, I realize it's still early, and the spotting in lieu of a period could be implantation bleeding --- it's definitely not a normal period for me.  On the other (third?) hand, I have this appointment tomorrow, which I have been waiting for for 3 months, and which is both positive and negative --- positive that I'll finally get to see him and that hopefully he will help us figure out a plan, negative that it's come to the point that I would need to see a specialist (although I know that's true for a lot of you; it's one more step in coming to terms with the fact that having a baby is not going to be easy).  Add to that that if I hadn't miscarried, the baby would have been due in a week or two, and I'm a total mess!  This is usually a really supportive place, so I thought I'd put my vent out there.  Thanks for reading.   [/quote]
