....how light was it?
Spotting light or need to use a 'Mini' tampon light?

My periods have been heavy for the last 10 years and I have just come on but I have no pain or backache etc. Technically, I should have been feeling like I have been in the early throws of labour for the past 2 days and in agony now in bed until at least Wednesday.

had a bleed like the start of a period with dd1 and thought I had come on for a whole day, it then went off and a bout a week later I finally had the courage to do a test !
good luck x

spotting light, for a couple of days, like a period that never got started. I also had some cramping too. If your period doesn't start as anticipated tomorrow, I would do a test - as they may wish to give you a scan because of the bleeding to rule out ectopic pg.

I have a feeling I may be preg but only a few weeks.
Was due on tomorrow but have come on today. I expected to start feeling like shit and be in agony from Friday onwards but the pain/aches/dead feeling did not come and is still not here but am having a bleed.
Only necessary for reg. tampons though, not super plus and towel combo from the word go.

Do you mean you are in your 2nd month of pregnancy and having a bleed or that you suspect you are because of a light period?

With ds, I had a near normal period for 2 days (not as heavy, still with cramps) which then stopped for a couple of days - and then started again. I got suspicious and did a test a week later! I had very light bleeds for the next 2 months (at the time my period would have been due).

The pregnancy continued as normal. Fingers crossed for you.
