Relaxing Doesn't Make Babies

Nothing

March 4, 2009 — 7:02 am

When I woke up I didn’t want to go test. I just layed here, dreading it, but unable to sleep either. Finally Den rolled over and said he hadn’t slept all night, so I got up.

The tests were negative. I’m 13dpr now, this is the day I got a positive with Devin.

And I’m spotting. What the hell does this mean? We’ve been waiting for spotting – it’s what happened in Devin’s cycle, before we got a positive. But at 13dpr? I didn’t get a positive test until 3 days after the spotting. We don’t have three days to wait, tomorrow is the beta. It’s a little late for implanting.

I just have no clue what this is. Is this a sign to not give up yet? Or a complete random coincidence?

Tomorrow I go to work and try to do my job, and then tomorrow I will test again and then just wait for the beta. But we are preparing ourselves for the worst.

    Natalie, I wish there were some clear cut answers.
    Still holding out hope for you yet though. Hang tight!

    *hopes* *hopes* *hopes*
    Bodies are weird. What happens one time might go differently later.

    I’m holding on to the idea of implantation blood *nods firmly*

    Nat – Im still holding out hope that maybe, just maybe your horomone level was not enough for the sensitivity of the test…cause that could be the case! We are all so pulling for you!!

  8. Amber Nicole says:

    Unfortunately, I have no words. Only love for you. <3

    Still hoping.

    I take the spotting as a good sign, things can still happen as it can be a late implanter.

    J.J. @ Reproductive.Jeans had a late implantation. Her beta at 8pt5dt was 34 and it kept raising nicely.

    I know it must be extremely difficult for you right now, but remember that when you feel you have no more hope, WE have tons for YOU!

  10. ARRGHHH! That sounds so incredibly annoying and frustrating – hope you find out something soon.

  11. Kari says:

    Oh, man, that is frustrating. Living through the frustration of not knowing anything, the fear of getting bad news, the stubborn hope that won’t let your mind rest…. Hang in there. I’m hoping so hard for you.

  12. waterbishop says:

    No! I hope beyond hope you get good results. Take care. (hug)

  13. JuliaS says:

    Here, waiting with you, wishing, hoping.

  14. JuliaKB says:

    I am sorry… No answers either. Just waiting and abiding with you.

  15. Delenn says:

    Hoping its a late implantation.

  16. serenity says:

    I don’t have answers either. Just hugs and the fact that I’m holding out hope. I’ve been thinking about you nonstop.

    *hug*

    I’m sorry you’re still in limbo, Natalie–I’m waiting with you to see what happens tomorrow.

  18. Raychel says:

    Gah. Maybe implanted late and your levels just aren’t high enough…god I’m hoping. I had a dream about you last night…that you had another little boy.

  19. Sally says:

    Still clinging on to hope for you Natalie.

  20. Shilpa says:

    There are really no adequate words, but just know that I’m deeply saddened for the BFNs for you so far, and really, really hope that a BFP still lurks around the corner this cycle- it is totally still possible!

    Wishing you lots of everything for tomorrow…

    I had very slow rising hcg and spotting with all 4 of my pregnancies. With my son, my hcg levels showed I was 6w pregnant BUT I was much further along as I had gotten a positive 3 weeks before. I was preparing myself for yet another m/c when they took a look at the u/s and saw a very strong heart beat and a big baby. They actually measured me at 11 weeks so I was pregnant far before it showed on the test and my hcg was low the entire time…so please don’t give up. I’m hoping for the best for you!

  22. Lisa DG says:

    Don’t put too much into the spotting just yet. As Kristine says above, you never can tell…I’ll keep crossing my fingers for you.

    Going for my own IUI tomorrow.
