hey
i found out i was pregnant when i was 3 weeks and 3 days, i should be 5 weeks and 4 days today

yesterday round 1o'clock i felt i'd peed masel and went to the toilet and my pants were full with dark-red blood which leck through onto my jeans, i went to the hospital and all they could say was to go home and rest for 10days and take another test.

i am not having any clots and cramping, yesterday at 1st it was dark-red now its more brown and and lighr red. to be honest i feel great i dont feel ill

am i misscarrying?

Poor you, it's hard when they tell you to wait

I had bleeds with both my pregnancy's but not large amounts, both times was dark red/brown, i now have 2 healthy girl's.

I pushed for a scan with dd'2 but i think it's hard to see anything until 8 weeks +

Good luck, my fingers are crossed for you.

Hi wee mandy
If you haven't had clots or cramps, it's a good sign.

It may be an implantation bleed.
It is also good if you have stoped bleeding.

wishing you well

thinking of you mandy. don't be surprised if dr doesn't offer a scan as they really can't see anything until 8 weeks.

I really think it's too early for a scan, you are unlikely to have heart beat till 7 weeks sometimes a bit earlier, once there is hb chances of miscarrying drop dramatically. To be honest a scan now could be false hope and involve waiting for another scan.
if bleeding has stoped i'm sure it was implantation.

poor you and dh, I know how you feel. I always say "as soon as we start trying to concieve we wear our hearts on our sleeves"
Try and be positive. You have plenty of hope a BFP at 3+3 sounds like a strong baby to me.
