Anyone else suddenly started spotting?

So I know no one can possibly tell me if im pregnant or not but I’m wondering if anyone else has just suddenly experienced spotting before their period?
AF is due on weds and today I have had light brown spotting. I’ve had crazy symptoms for the past week and a bit that I’ve never experienced before, in particular sore boobs, nausea and bloating that has now disappeared. I am putting these down to PMS symptoms in a bid to avoid symptom spotting (literally impossible) but the new spotting today is taking everything in me to not get my hopes up.

Hi girls sorry for the slow responses I've been working away this week (shooting in London etc)

I'm so sorry to hear of your sad loss was expecting to check in to happy news from you all. 😩

How are you feeling in yourselves ladies?

up to now we're good, don't need to have pregnancy confirmed in our area you just self refer to the midwives, which I did and due to my underlying health issues I've had a scan where we saw the sac, I go back the first week in June for a scan and progress report xox

@Beanchopper - I'm sorry this has happened to you too.

I have found the folk on the miscarriage thread really kind and knowledgeable.

Be kind to yourself and make sure you reach out to those around you when you feel ok to do so. However you feel is ok.

At first I was just keeping it all a secret until I realised that the more of my friends I told, the easier it felt.

I got my blood results, they have dropped from 630 to 216, so it's a confirmed miscarriage.

I am trying to focus on the positive that I got pregnant without help, I now have 3 months that apparently women are more fertile after a loss.

I am heartbroken after all these years of trying, the one pregnancy I have had went away so quickly but I am hopeful about the future.

@Beanchopper I'm so sorry to hear this.

I know some people bleed a bit, but if it's heavy and cramps I guess it's more worrying.

Just take care of yourself xxx

Lots of love

Sadly today I lost the pregnancy, started bleeding this morning, went for a scan (would be 5weeks today) she couldn't find anything. They took bloods, hcg is currently 630, I am expected to go back Thursday to have more bloods to see if they double or decline. But this evening I have had intense cramps and heavy red bleeding has started. So I think I have my confirmation.

Beanchopper · 20/05/2019 15:27

@pinkoi I really am sorry you have to go through this. It's all happened so fast your head must be spinning! Try to take it easy for a few days. They say the 3 months after a chemical you are more fertile, but maybe taking a month off from ttc might be an idea? Go catch up with friends, have some date nights with your partner.

Keep us updated how you get on hun 😘

Beanchopper · 20/05/2019 15:24

Best of luck @beclaboo hope you get good news soon 🤞🏻

That looks like a strong positive @theonlymrsa have you been to gp yet to get it confirmed?

Congrats to all the BFPs!!

My spotting started really early - Tuesday and AF is due on Sunday today it’s gotten really heavy I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been travelling but disappointed because I had a really metallic taste but I guess I’m just run down 🙄

@pinkoi I'm so sorry sweetie I've been there myself recently so I really feel your pain chicken. Just try again.

My test was a positive pregnancy test @Beanchopper.

Xox

pinkoi · 16/05/2019 22:43

@Beanchopper

Forgot to add I would have been around 6w based on last definite period, but I think I may have ovulated later.

No idea how long the tests will stay positive for 🤷‍♀️

pinkoi · 16/05/2019 22:38

@Beanchopper

Nope - No blood test, no scan. They just said my pee on a stick test was negative (so I felt like a total tit) and gave me a leaflet and off home I went. Told us ok to start trying again straight away as test was neg.

I did say that even on evening before my tests were still coming up as strong as before I started to bleed but she just said my tests must have been really sensitive and they wouldn't be positive now. I have to admit I did another cheapy stick test that evening so I could see it negative with my own eyes (so I knew we were good to start again) and that was still as positive as the ones I posted on this thread on Friday. I have one FRER left which I will use in a week or so to check it's out of my system.

Hope all goes well with you xxx

Beanchopper · 16/05/2019 20:34

@pinkoi I am so sorry to hear that. Has the gp been tracking your hcg levels in your blood to see if it's going down? How many weeks are you?

Big hugs!

Beanchopper · 16/05/2019 20:32

Is that a pregnancy or ovulation test @theonlymrsa ?

pinkoi · 16/05/2019 10:49

Massive congrats to those just getting their BFPs Smile❤️❤️

Just to update those of you who commented on my BFP earlier this thread. It wasn't good news for me I'm afraid. It seems I am/have miscarried this time. I started bleeding lightly off an on over the weekend, no cramps. EPU did a urine test yesterday and it was negative so they didn't bother to scan me or do bloods. My cheepy stick tests are still positive but I guess they will start to fade over the coming weeks. None of it boded well - with having a "period" before BFP and then bleeding again.

TheOnlyMrsA · 16/05/2019 07:24

I haven't cleaned up today so ignore the dusty window cills .... but check it out...

Anyone else suddenly started spotting?
TheOnlyMrsA · 15/05/2019 21:35

CONGRATULATIONS @Beanchopper 😍😍😍 made up for you. I just need two clear little lines xoxo

Beanchopper · 15/05/2019 19:58

Omg omg omg, wish I could upload pictures!

I took a digital tonight and pregnant popped up!!!!!!

I am in shock!

Beanchopper · 14/05/2019 16:43

@theonlymrsa how frustrating for us both! Keep us updated if you test again. I think I will take mine as negative until I get a visable 2nd line, as a lot of people are saying they can't see it. I wish I could upload the pictures to get your opinion

TheOnlyMrsA · 14/05/2019 14:00

@Beanchopper I got a very faint (possibly evap line) on a cheapo blue dye test last night and this morning. So I'm holding out all my hopes. Ox

Beanchopper · 14/05/2019 13:34

I tried again and it's not having it, I don't think it likes pictures 🤔 basically I got a vvvvfl on my test this morning. A few said they could see it but a lot said no. So I am going to be testing again and hope it becomes more visable and not another false positive. Af due today/tomorrow so we shall see which happens first!

Beanchopper · 14/05/2019 13:29

Testing to see if my replies show, I tried to upload something earlier with pics but it hasn't come up, tried 4 times now 🤔

TheOnlyMrsA · 13/05/2019 18:49

@Beanchopper AF is due on Friday, however this will be my first period since my MC. But we where told we could try again as soon as I stopped bleeding from my MC as it was a very early one with no complications.

So knowing my luck with pregnancy atm I'll miss this cycle and there will be no baby in there at all 🤦🏻‍♀️

I'm so bloated today and feel like I've got wind but like burpy wind, which I had last time! Xox
