positive test but had period? advice needed please ladies

[madgirl]

i don't know whether to laugh or cry
i had successful surge on opk last cycle and dp and i did it twice at the right time. then my bl**dy af arrived on day 24 - quite heavy for 2 days, then stopped. then spotting for about 5 days. (had this spotting at 4 1/2 weeks with ds). was in russia this week (i know it's balmy) and have stinking cold, so didn't really think about it then last night my boobs were so sore i just did a test this am to be sure i wasn't pregnant - as i have been taking ibuprofen and drinking (not like a fish - but every day). so does it mean i AM pregnant, or does it mean i WAS, and lost it and the hormone is still in the body?
thanks everybody

I found out I was pregnant with ds like this. Had what I thought was a period for a day, then it suddenly stopped. Sat for 3 hours really worrying that if I was pregnant the bleeding would be bad news, dp got fed up with me moaning told me to do a test, & we now have a 21 month old. Didn't have any more bleeding, so perhaps it was an implantation bleed.

Hope the same is true for you!

i thouhgt u were onlu supposed 2 have a "ligth period " if you had one at all?
sorry- ds on knee - sick as well!

hi chuck. am in similar situation. i have ha 2 mcs and one lovely baby. have benn trying hard for coupleof months. then last sat on day 19 of cycle started spotting and has carried on light and dark brown and some red but just a bit. my first mc started like this but then so did my lovely baby - when i hada little bleed like this. and i have done a positive test. fingers crossed for you madgirl. i so want this baby too!

is ds sick, madgirl, or are you??? if it's you, i'd def. say you are pg.

congrats to brunhilda too.

both of us sick now hoxton chick
ds now asleep on my bed! guess i need to go to an early pregnancy unit asap-- don't suppose hoxton chick you do live in london and you of any open on a saturday?! (half joking)

I would also say implantation bleed. I was sure I was miscarrying DD, about a week after we found out I was pregnant (5 weeks gest, we were trying and so tested early). I went to the loo one morning and spotted bleeding . I was terrified (I've lost a baby before at 26wks) and just sat frozen to the seat and cried. DH found me a few mins later (had heard me from the kitchen). We phoned the out of hours clinic and were told to come for a scan to check that everything was ok. That scan was done on New Years Day 2001 at 6+3 and there she was, tiny and in perfect working order ! I can't tell you how happy we were to see that tiny, almost imperceptible heartbeat . Our 15 month old DD is testament to the fact that a bleed doesn't necessarily mean a loss or a false positive (didn't think you could get a false + anyway). Take heart and the best of luck.

why does me being sick make it any more likely?

oh thanks wsm, i guess the bleed was so utterly red and real (not brown like the spotting later_ that i was sure it was just a period. however, i am starting to get a little (just a little) bit excited.

i do live in london (not hoxton any more though).... haven't been myself, but i think st thomas's has an early pregnancy unit that several people on here have been to. self referral too, so you just walk in. good luck,

morning sickness?

My grandmother continued to bleed during her pregnancy with my Father. He arrived safe and sound.

My closest friend bled for 3 months with her first pregnancy, which also resulted in a healthy babe.

Good luck!

It certainly not impossible - i would defo get down to an early pregnancy unit and get it checked out!

Good luck

a few weeks back i was reading a thread about how annoying it is when people start a conversation about sth , get lots of replies, and then p**s off never to be seen again, so thought i would let you know that I AM pregnant, still too early for them to see an embryo heartbeat but looks ok at the moment! thanks for your support here.

Hey congrats Madgirl! HOpe all goes well.
