Ask and You Shall Receive

Pie asked, so I will do it. Here are my stick pictures. For those of you who find this insensitive, I am truly sorry. It is not my intent to throw salt in your wounds, I know them all too well and mine run really really deep.



FYI- the spotting has slowed down, if not stopped. And there have been no more intense cramping episodes so that is good. I think I also have a new symptom: acne. I know I've said it before, but tomorrow cannot come fast enough.

  4. I can totally see the line getting darker with each passing test!! Re: spotting - I know it's so freaky to see that in your underwear and I fanatically checked throughout my entire pregnancy but it is normal. The colour is important too - the brown colour is good in that it symbolizes old blood rather than bright red blood and a lot of it. As long as it's just that - dark in colour and not much - you're okay. I remember spotting through the first trimester and then again in my 3rd trimester. They never figured out what caused it and I heard a lot of potential explanations like the placenta was tearing away from the uterine wall (this was later) which is ironic because when it came time for the placenta to detach, it didn't! Anyway, try not to worry about the spotting - it is totally normal and I agree with the PP who said it is common with IVF pregnancies.
