Apparently it was just spotting, because no more blood since yesterday afternoon. I tested again this morning and it was positive darker than yesterday but still not a bright pink line. The tests I used up yesterday were Internet tests and this morning I used a FREP test. Does that make a difference? I broke down and called the RE office this morning and left a message. Should I request the blood test, or just wait and few more days and test again? If this is a chemical pregnancy how long till I get a negative test? Should I keep taking the progesterone just in case and if I do will that just prolong AF? For the first time in a long time I felt that old anxiety on the way to work. I didn't run this morning, and I think my body has been using running as a surrogate antidepressant without me realizing it.
Trying hard not to get worked up about this, what will be will be...
addendum: first positive on 12dpo, second 13 dpo, today is 14dpo with positive FREP

What dpo are you? I always used FREP tests because I heard they were very reliable. Keep taking the progesterone, regardless of the test. Let a blood test confirm anything before you stop....I would go in for a blood test. You will drive yourself batty nuts with testing a ton....
Dito on the blood work. I could always tell with beta's whether or not I would m/c (or not). It helped me mentally prepare either way. What kind of progesterone are you on? Try and get Endometrin. That stuff is gold- and the reason I think we're carrying this pregnancy after 7 m/c's.
GET A BLOOD TEST! Because then you'll know if it's viable. If it's not viable, it won't necessarily miscarry right away. So the tests might not turn negative for months and months - it could be a missed m/c. My pregnancy ended at 5.5 weeks and I had NO sign of that until my 12 week u/s. My HPT's just kept getting darker and darker through the weeks so I thought everything was ok. Even when the u/s revealed a non-viable pregnancy they had to remove it surgically 'cause it wasn't going anywhere on its own and my body continued to think it was pregnant. By the time I got a D&C my HCG was 53K and it took FOREVER (over six months) for my body to get back to normal. An early blood test would have saved me a lot of time, not to mention a lot of despair, anxiety, and sleepless nights.
