Opinions please!!

I really need some opinions, sooooo... please, if you have any ideas or thoughts, I want to hear them!!
As some of you already know, I am in the TWW, after our first IUI since our miscarriage... I had to take Augestin to jump start my cycle because I kept spotting but full AF just refused to start. Once I stopped the progesterone, my AF started within 4 days and I started my meds for the cycle. I responded slower than last cycle, but had 2 decent follies at my 2nd ultrasound on CD14. I triggered at 4am on CD15 and went in at 32 hours after trigger for IUI on CD16. I will note here that I tested 2 times a day leading up to trigger to make sure I wasn't surging on my own, and at my 2nd ultrasound, I still had not ovulated, and my OPK's were still very negative both that day and the next morning before triggering. I felt O pains happening right at the 36 hour mark, so 4 hours after insem. I also started progesterone (vaginal) at 5dpo.
So, here's where I need the opinions!! I tested out my trigger starting at 3dpo, which acted very different this cycle and hung around in a very small amount through 9dpo. Last cycle it was completely gone by 7dpo and I tested positive on 10dpo. This cycle I finally got my first clear white test at 10dpo (am). That evening, I started very lightly cramping and spotting (just pink cm really). Today, 11dpo tests are all still bfn and I am cramping heavier and still lightly spotting (pink to light brown, very watery cm). Tonight, I am still cramping a lot (like very sharp, early AF cramping not like actual full on AF cramps that double you over) and when I went to the bathroom a little bit ago, I had a "gush" of dark blood (still totally full of thin cm) but a fair amount of it all over.
Sorry for all the TMI, but I have never had a short LP before, and with the trigger, time of O should have been almost exact, and with the progesterone, even if AF was going to be earlyish, it should have held it off. I have, occasionally, spotted and cramped lightly for about an hour or so the evening of 13DPO and AF always comes 14dpo unless I don't O - on those few occasions that I knew of, then I have had to induce AF. This started at TEN-dpo, which is sooo strange. I'm so confused... I'm also scared - that something is wrong since my miscarriage - what if it's keeping me from getting pregnant again??? I don't know what to think?? Should I call the Dr. and let him know?? Just ride it out, wait and see??? Assume this is AF and start again??? Anyone??? Any thoughts would be helpful... HPT this evening (11dpo) was still bfn...
Thanks in advance to anyone who has any insight!!

Please let us know though, and hang in there. There's no way that your dream is over. It just might take one more month.
Thanks for the encouragement, Shaeley Mae!! I did put in a call to my Dr. this afternoon as AF is definitely here - came on full force this morning. (12dpo)
Thanks to the rest of you who responded as well - hopefully I have something more exciting to post next month!
Hugs, I am sorry.
Maybe you can ask about increasing it of your progesterone is low? Did you have CD21 testing to check it?
I will see what the Dr. says tomorrow... No, I didn't have CD 21 testing - that was the day I actually started the progesterone.
