saph, when is your blood test due, hun? Don't give up hope yet! Cramps can be a sign of rising progesterone levels, and not just because of AF about to arrive! Breaking out is another sign of rising hormone levels - it's too hard to read into the cause of this, so just hang in there - it's not over yet!

waiting - AF hasn't arrived on time! This is the best sign at the moment! As I said to saph, cramping like AF doesn't necessarily mean AF, hun. Hang in there - only a few more days til BT. POAS really can confuse things and mess with you. Please try not to read too much into anything yet. Just got to take one day at a time until you get to BT You can't know what has happened until you see those HCG levels on a BT, hun.

Carla, I don't know if you'll see this, but I'm sending many warm wishes your way. I hope that the spotting is not what you think it is (like I've said above to both saph and waiting, it's not over till BT!), but if this cycle turns out to be bust, I hope that you're alright and we really hope to see you again soon so we can continue to support you.
