@LindsayInNY: So I think at first the brown CM was implantation bleeding. It happened around 9 or 10 DPO and at first I thought it was indicating AF was about to start, since I always spot the day before. I was kind of upset because it was my first ovulatory cycle when I knew which day I ovulated and I thought I had an short LP problem. I think it stopped and then started getting my typical spotting. I remember I called my RE to get in for the typical CD3 testing (they always ask you to call on CD1 which I assumed would be the next day) and asked if I could do CD2 due to traveling for the holiday. But by the time I went in 2 days later, it had never fully started, just spotting off and on. I think I never had enough HCG/progesterone to keep me from shedding my lining, hence the spotting.
I didn't have to do anything differently at all the next time, it was exactly the same. My DH had the same attitude, as did my parents (who knew what was going on because we were at their house when I found out). It's great if you look at the positive side, because it really is one. For us it meant we didn't need to go the extra lengths with trying IUI. I just wasn't ready for that to make me feel better at the time.

@ShootingStar: I worry that the progesterone is the underlying issue here and the cause of the pre-AF spotting every cycle. I guess only time will tell going forth now... DH has been great. Neither parents know. I don't think mine even know we're TTC and his would be devastated. So it's just him and HB for support right now which I'm so grateful for. I'm trying to just be positive about everything which helps prevent the tears!

Aww I am so sorry! Hopefully the progesterone will work and you'll have a sticky baby soon!

Thank you everyone for all the supportive messages! I think the crying is out of my system and I'm back to a more optimistic place for going forth...

TTC is nothing like I expected either... it's very hard.
