T minus 3 days and waiting

Oops, I missed a day. Yesterday evening I noticed a small amount of brownish blood on the toilet paper once, and a small amount of reddish blood once, too. It could be from implantation bleeding, or it could be the common "small amount of spotting or bleeding" that my IVF handbook says may occur before the pregnancy test's scheduled date. Since many women have spotting or even a light period when they are first pregnant, it is not a bad sign. But since my body would be preparing for menstruation if I were not on progesterone and not pregnant, it is not necessarily a good sign either. It's one of those things that "often happens" during an IVF cycle, and really doesn't indicate anything one way or the other.
