an hour after test looks like my period started...bright red blood...
is that it then, all over?

now I wish I'd never done the sodding test but I literally could not have waited a minute longer

aaaaargh!!!

Some other posters described my experience as a chemical pregnancy - basically egg is fertilised but not implated.

My mum's friend bled heavily all the way through her three pregnancies so it does happen Cat.

This happened to me CatisSleepy on my first cycle of IVF, within hours of a positive result, I bled, quite heavily. Unfortunately it was a miscarriage albeit a very early one.

Leave it a few days and retest. I did this every day and the line just got fainter and fainter.

I really hope you are not the same and that it is just an implantation bleed so fingers crossed. Sorry that you are going through this, not very pleasant to deal with, especially after the euphoria of the positive result.

Of course mummypud could be right.

it was bright red at times , but never in huge amounts , went for 3 early scans but they never found the cause, not sure when i had that first though

purlease-yes, it's good news that we managed to conceive (hooray for ovulation kits) and in a way it's good I didn't have too long to get used to the idea...it is a bugger though isn't it? all that anticipation...and the thought of doing it all again next month...

oh mummypud I don't know I don't think so...
but perhaps am being too pessimistic, was so keyed up about doing the test and then so excited by the result-seeing that blood just seemed like a disaster.
I didn't bleed like this when I was pg with dd

what was your bleeding like, if you don't mind me asking? I suppose time will tell anyway...

bugger - I had this last month except it was a week between test and period. The positive way of looking at it is that concepton is not a problem - that's what I tell myself anyway. And you don't need to hang around for ages waiting to try again. Sorry this probably isn't helping but this is what I was thinking last month.
