faint line on preg test and spotting. Is this doomed?

Just want reassurance please. I tested positive yesterday and today (4 tests so far!) but all the lines are faint. I have used First Response, Clearblue and Acon internet tests. I am also spotting/bleeding very lightly and have been doing since a few days past ovulation. I am only 4 wks and 1 day but feel this pregnancy is already doomed (my last 2 pregnancies have ended in miscarriage at 3 months).

Please, does anyone have any experiences that might convince me all is not lost?

oh my love i so have been there- you want to find a million women like me don't you that say "i spotted" and I'm fine. well it really helped me to email another mumsnetter who had had similar experiences direct, so if at any time you want to "chat" then contact me via another talker. however if you, as I did (!) spend hours reading other threads you will see you have as much chance as the next person of keeping this pregnancy. x

I realised I was obsessed when I took my 3 positive tests in the bath with me last night . And dh complained I smell of wee because I carried them around everywhere.

Wow, MG, I didnt know you had that much spotting... phew.. not just me then. You are well out of any danger period now, have you started to relax and enjoy it? I know exactly what you mean about wanting to start again, the thought has crossed my mind too.

I want to put all ths to one side and get on with my life but I cant, poor ds is in the lounge with the telly on while I am obsessively searching the net for other women like me.

hello bunny2, i saw your thread and send you masses of hugs. i am now 23 weeks pregnant, and had a heavy 2 day bleed day 24 of my cycle and then spotting at 5 weeks (for a week) and 7 weeks (for 10 days). it was awful, i felt as if i was living on a knife's edge, try and relax, as you really don't have much control over it(short of deciding to take up weightlifting) but then you know this already. anyway, i bled as i described and touch wood, all is ok. xx

Twiglett!! Hi, thanks for your response, apparenlty I will get scans at 6, 8, 10 and 12 weeks at the fertility unit. I still want to cry though, I'm all over the place and cant relax or feel happy about this at all.
