Backstory: I've been trying for #2 since March a MMC at 8w in late May. I've just been using opks, because I have a hard time temping each day (get up at different times), and would forget when I was only doing it until O.
I tested Sun/Mon, on what I believe was 11 & 12 DPO. Nothing, and I had some brown spotting on Mon/Tues, just a tiny bit, but I assumed ,y period was coming. I tested last night after chugging water and holding my pee, and got a faint line that appeared after 5 min, so I tried again this morning, and there's a medium dark line.
So, this is 15 DPO. I'm terrified, especially because this is eerily similar to the last pregnancy. My doctor did betas last time, but I just emailed asking if she could check progesterone too, just in case. Who knows? I told myself I wouldn't ask for betas at all next time, but I'm really scared. I don't feel pregnant at all.
Whatever happens with this pregnancy, I want to give a sincere thank you to the women in this group. It has been invaluable to me to be able to vent to internet strangers about this really stressful time in my life.
------------------- UPDATE: it's a CP, which started this morning (Monday). I'm disappointed of course, but trying to feel better that I got pregnant again, and the month we had the best timing since the MMC (timing has not been great because of travel). So, yuck. Going to call the OB nurse this morning to let them know, and see if I can get testing ordered (I.e., can you do Cd3 testing when you're having a Cp?), and ask to keep my "first" asspointment later this month for a "what the heck is going on" talk instead.
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.

I've had a little more brown spotting today too, so I'm freaked. I talked to an on call doc, and he thinks it's not useful to test progesterone and that it's not evidence-based science that it helps prevent m/c (?? I'm obviously not a scientist). He recommended just relaxing. I'm supposed to run half a marathon (2 relay legs) this Sunday, so I'm trying to find a sub for one leg.
