I have been having moderate, consistent cramping for about 3 days now. The last 2 days have produced brown spotting. Today's spotting was enough to leaving some in my undies. That was the first day that happened. Before it was only when I wiped.

I have been testing hoping I was pregnant, but all BFN. Yesterday's SMU looked super faint positive. Within the time limit, pink, just really faint. I was waiting for it to get darker before I said anything. This morning, stark BFN. Today's SMU, BFN.

So I was wondering where I stood. I looked it up online and this is what I found.

Basically, brown spotting or discharge is not considered the beginning of a menstrual cycle. So I am not pregnant, nor will my first AF after depo come. It seems like my body is really trying though.

I guess I will keep eating my leafy greens and building up my iron.

Just wanted to put that out there for anyone else in the same boat.

Sounds frustrating. I'm sorry you feel like you're in limbo right now.

What kind of tests are you using? Are you sure your faint line wasn't for reals? Spotting and bleeding are common in early pregnancy...

I don't know. I am using Wondfo's. It could be. There is no way this is an indent. The advice I read on peeonastick.com is to hold the pee stick the same distance away from your face that you would a book. If I do that, it's more obvious. But, a faint positive at 9DPO with SMU, then two more BFN (1 FMU, 1 SMU) ??? Does that happen? Both at 10 DPO?

I am sick as a dog when I get up in the morning, I am exhausted and ready for bed from 630pm on. Literally, tonight my eyelids were drooping and I was forcing them open at 830om. Like full on involuntary head nod and everything. I couldn't believe my eyes when I say it was only 824pm.

I don't get it. I'm charting BBT, CM, CP, and symptoms. All which only make me more crazy. I use OPK's but have barely even been getting a test line in them so I am cutting back for a while. I take vitamins, supplements, herbs, oils. I don't even know where to go from here....

Sunny D I guess. Right Brittney?

Oh, totally! I fully intend on getting a FMU, Sunny-D-Pee BFP tomorrow morning!

Isn't the waiting game just a killer!?!?

I feel your pain. I'm in the same boat this month. Good luck to you!!
Also, you live like a half an hour from me. You also live close to family I have in Palmdale and Littlerock.

I emailed my OB and asked her for a quant. She set one up for me to go in Friday, but the lab was closed by the time I got the email and they aren't open on weekends. So Monday it is. I will update then! Thanks for being so awesome.
