Ok, so here goes. I began miscarrying Oct 23rd. It was all over 27th. So I began waiting for af and dtd everyday  On the 22nd of November, I had VERY light spotting ( had to hold the tissue up to see if it was actually pink tmi sorry). Then, nothing the rest of sat. Sunday, I had a slightly heavier trip to the bathroom. but, just slightly. 1 time. Since then, nothing. I don't know what that was all about. I definately wouldn't consider that an af...any suggestions. I am tempted to test ( but I have a problem ) Anyway, if any of you have had similar expriences, or any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You will quickly learn Heather that if testing is even a choice, it'll be our number ONE!!
Are your normal cycles 28 days? How far along were you when you m/cd? That has alot to do with when your next AF should be showing...
Either way...I say TEST TEST TEST!!!!

I think the hCG from your Angel would be out of your system now, if you are pregnant, it would definitely show!

You weren't very far along...so it probably didn't take very long for your hCG to return to <5...it took less than a week once I actually "passed" the baby for my levels to drop...I started bleeding on 8 Apr and my AF showed on 9 May...if you REALLY don't want to waste a test you could wait till around the 1st...thats a little over a week late...
Good luck and baby dust either way!!

Well i'm one of the last people to POAS. I'm terrified of those things but that's really the only way you will know for sure one way or the other. G/L hun and please KUP. I'm praying you get that beautiful sticky BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I "passed" the baby on Saturday Oct. 25, and my midwife checked my levels on Oct 30th. They were 2 which they consider 'undetectable'. I get so excited thinking about it. I will try my hardest to wait for Thanksgiving as it will just be Nelson, my dds Gabby and Victoria, and myself. But, you will probably see something from me tomorrow as I am terrible at waiting

2 is less than 5, which means you could be preggers again!!!!

I agree with everyone above...here are my positive 2 cents: your bleeding def does NOT sound like AF. I miscarried on 27 October too. I got AF last week and it was heavier than normal. Also, my levels took forever to drop and yours didn't...so you def could have ovulated in there.
Good luck and keep us posted!

Well, you have all peeked my curiosity. I am on my way to CVS and then to Nelson's work. I will test there or, definately when I get home. If you don't see anything from me tonight, you definately will tomorrow. I am very excited, but will not die if it is a bfn. I am more that willing to try again and harder this month

OK, So it is like the WITCH knows when we are talking about her. I grabbed my keys and was on the way out the door...went to the bathroom first and light, light pink  Anyway, I will see what the morning brings...but I am still buying the tests tonight. If I don't get to use them now, they don't expire right away, right!?!? I hate ttc. I just want another bfp and baby already!!!!! 
sorry, just an after thought. What is implantation bleeding and when does that happen. I am reaching for anything, bc my af is normally very blunt and obvious, none of this pink ###### for 4 days . Sorry, that was my frustration rearing its ugly head.

Last note before I go to bed. Maybe the pink was my imagination. Nothing since. Although I couldn't bring myself to buy the test at CVS(too expensive). I will see what the morning brings. If it is not af, I will buy on my way to work. Thank you for your encouragment and thoughts...I still have hope

Forget CVS and any other drug store...they are WAYYY overpriced in the HPT department...just go to Walmart...you can either get a 2 pack digi for $10 or 2 Answer tests (which are just as good as FRERs) for $7...
Dang...
You'd think the HPT industry was paying me for all this free advertisement...
