[char1985]

hiya I was wondering if anyone could help me and knows whats goin on with my body!!
I was due my period the 19th oct but was a week late i did two test in this time and both came back negitive. The last test i did was the sunday then period apeared on the 25th (tuesday). i had a lighter and much shorter period than normal. But thought nothing of it.
Yesterday I had a pulled muscle feeling in my tummy and a slight bleed. I went to the doctors and he tested for urine infection but none present. He then did a pregancy test and it was possitive! I only had a very slight bleed and know have an aching tummy?!!!!
Really confused. Have i miscarried and my hormones are still high even though i had no possitive test?
Hope somone can help

Sounds like you are still pregnant to me. Lots of women bleed early on in their pregnancies and its nothing to worry about.

I sadly had an early miscarriage at 8 weeks, and it was nothing like you describe. Lots and lots of pain (as painful as labour) and lots and lots of blood and clots (filling up a very thick period towel to saturation in 10 minutes).

Congratulations on your pregnancy. Try not to worry and look forward to your bubba in 8 months time.

I am so sorry to hear that sad news.
I am trying not to worry but because I probably would have only been 5 weeks when my period came i wondered if i wouldnt bleed so much as so early on. Thanku for ur help xx

It could be that you ovulated late in your cycle then what you thought was your period was implantation bleeding. The pulled muscle feeling is also a sign of early pregnancy as (I think) the ligaments start to stretch.

The only way to be totally sure is to go to the Early Pregnancy Unit at the hospital and have a scan. Lots of women have bleeding and go on to have healthy pregnancies.

I hope it all works out for you.
