Positive test but now brown spotting - it's over isn't ut

[beanhunter]

So we have been ttc for 3 years. Had ivf x 2 and one mc. Yesterday and this am I've had positive tests with good lines. Period probably a day late. Just been to the loo and there was some brown when I wiped. This is over isn't it? Can't believe I was stupid enough to get my hopes up.

It's not over yet at all. It could easily be spotting as it's around period time.

I had spotting exactly when my period was due with my dc and then it stopped again and I never realised I was pregnant for another week after that.

Don't lose hope, i know it's difficult, sorry I don't have any other advice

Thanks. Seems to have stopped and frer v positive this morning so fingers crossed.

I had brown spotting when I was 9 weeks pregnant, now 18 weeks, brown blood is old blood xx

Not necessarily, I had spotting at 4 weeks and 8 weeks with my first at the time my period would have been due. Baby was fine. Fingers crossed for you.

I am thinking of you and wishing you well. Such a nerve wracking time.

How are you getting on?

I'm ok thanks. Still intermittent spotting but tests still positive and getting darker so praying this one will stick.

I had spotting when my period was due, that's actually what prompted me to take a test. I spotted for 3 days then it stopped. I'm 16 weeks now and have had scans, all going fine.

Brown blood is old blood, so it could be implantation, it's pink/red blood that is the worry.

Fingers crossed for you op, I wouldn't be worried just yet as like pp said brown spotting quite common. In fact spotting of any type is common in early pregnancy (something you never get told!) I had red spotting at 13 weeks and was petrified but all was well turned out I just had a sensitive cervix

Not at all. Bleeding and spotting in early pregnancy is surprisingly common.

I had pink and then red bleeding at seven weeks- I'm now 23.5 weeks. As others have said, brown blood = old blood. I'd try and stop doing tests as these are probably just going to keep you feeling anxious and continue on the assumption that everything is fine unless a medical professional tells you otherwise! (That was my tactic!) Fingers crossed for you OP xx

Thanks. Am stopping testing now. Just needed to see lines progressing despite spotting given my previous history. Feel sick this morning so can use that as a guide now!

You can get early scans cheap enough I used a company called baby bond look into it for reassurance

@beanhunter how did it end up for you lovely ? Xx

Initially it stuck but I lost at 14 weeks.

@beanhunter omg I’m sorry 😓 I hope you had success since 2017 ? Xxxx big hugs xx
