In July I started bleeding 2 weeks after my period finished and sure enough, I miscarried the day I found out I was pregnant at 6 weeks 5 days.

I’ve just now been to the loo and found brown discharge a week too early to be my period and I know exactly what that means. I’m 8 days away from my period due date (cd29) so I tested and sure enough, I’m pregnant and in exactly the same way as last time, I think I’m miscarrying Sad

I’m not sure what I need or why I’m posting. I am wishing so hard for this to not be a miscarriage and to be something entirely different, but in my heart I just know and I’m broken all over again.

Does anyone have positive stories where a bleed at 4 weeks hasn’t been a miscarriage? I don’t know if hope is what I need but I desperately want to hold on to the fantasy that this could be a baby for a while longer Sad

I had brown bleeding at 4 weeks and 6 weeks in both my pregnancies. One ended in miscarriage, the other was a completely healthy pregnancy with no complications. It's so hard, I know, but brown bleeding doesn't always mean bad news.

PCOSCanPissOFF · 05/12/2019 16:15

I’m hoping things work out so badly. This baby is so supremely and completely wanted.

It’s so similar to how my miscarriage started, I darent hope, but I want to believe it’s going to be ok and hearing stories like yours is really helpful Flowers

It could be implantation bleeding. Are you about 5-10 days after ovulation at the moment?

catlady3 · 05/12/2019 16:20

I had a bleed around 5 or 6 week and another (quite shocking, went through my trousers and everything) around 7 weeks, I'm now at 28.

PCOSCanPissOFF · 05/12/2019 16:21

Yeah I’m 10 days DPO, surely I wouldn’t be getting positive tests this early if I was only just implanting though?

I had a huge bleed at 13 weeks. Started off as brown bleeding then ended up as gushes of red with massive clots.
Baby is absolutely fine and im 27 weeks now!!

I have everything crossed for you

Bleeding has stopped Confused

I spotted at 9dpo and then tested positive next day so must have been implantation. She's 15m now! I also bled heavyish several times in the first 4 month's of pregnancy due they think to erosion of my cervix flaring up from the hormones. Each time freaked me out for mc and I had a colposcopy again to be sure all was ok (history of abnormal smears) but all was well. Best thing you can do for you and baby is try and relax... happy hormones :) easier said than done I know! X

HL123 · 05/12/2019 18:34

Hi @PCOSCanPissOFF, I had some light bleeding a few weeks after conception (I didn't actually know I was pregnant at the time, thought it was period starting), and I'm 12 weeks now. Hope for a positive outcome for you Smile

Mrsmummy90 · 05/12/2019 18:46

I had some pink and brown discharge with both pregnancies and they were very sticky babies. Both dd's are sat next to me and screaming at me as we speak 😂👍

glowingtwig · 05/12/2019 19:00

I had pale brown discharge with darker stringy bits at 4-5 weeks pregnant. This was my second pregnancy after an early miscarriage at 5 weeks, six months earlier.
I was beside myself with anxiety for many weeks, but that pregnancy worked out and my baby daughter is feeding from me as I type with my left hand.
Try to stay positive and take each day at a time. I hope it works out for you xx

ForeverBubblegum · 05/12/2019 19:54

I had light bleeding on and off for the first trimester of both my pregnancies, both resulting in healthy babies. For me it was just the extra blood flow downstairs bringing blood vessels closer to the surface.

Terrifying at the time, especially with first. I rang 111, and they referred me to early pregnancy until for a scan, which confirmed all was well.

Definitely get it checked but bleeding doesn't necessarily mean you'll miscarry. Hope it works out for
you.

schoolrummum · 05/12/2019 23:31

I had two pregnancies, one where I bled fresh red blood and miscarried at 8 weeks and 3 days and the second pregnancy I bled bright red blood at exactly 8 weeks and 3 days and it was fine and baby is now 3. Try to relax and be kind to yourself. Wishing you lots of luck xx

cookielove · 06/12/2019 16:59

On the day i got my bfp i bled for 3 days, bright red blood.

I am now 15+3

AllTheWhoresOfMalta · 06/12/2019 17:02

I had vivid red bleeding from 4 weeks until almost 12 in my second pregnancy (after the first one having no bleeding at all). Was convinced over and over it was a miscarriage but it wasn’t- DD is now 3. Good luck OP, doesn’t necessarily mean the end.

sarahc336 · 06/12/2019 18:26

Maybe get in touch wi tk your hospitals bleeding in early pregnancy clinic as they'll do bloods to see if yo ur levels are increasing or reducing which really shows how things are progressing, take care of your self Thanks

Darkstar4855 · 06/12/2019 18:58

I had intermittent light brown/red spotting from 5+5 to 7+5 weeks, baby was fine but it was a very scary time. EPU might not see you this early but it’s worth asking as they could check your hCG levels and see if they are increasing.

IAmSickOfWaiting · 06/12/2019 22:10

For some reason, I read “I’m 15 months now”, instead of “She’s 15 months now”, and was so so confused about your gestational period. Haha.

Congratulations on your little girl :)

MsTSwift · 06/12/2019 22:15

I had implantation bleeding with both mine now both enormous healthy girls. Good luck op x

stoplickingthetelly · 06/12/2019 22:18

I had brown (and some light pink) bleeding on and off from the very early days, like you, until about week 13 with both my dc. It was scary, but everything was fine.

stoplickingthetelly · 06/12/2019 22:20

I also have a friend who had a massive need at around 9 weeks, everything was fine there too.

stoplickingthetelly · 06/12/2019 22:20

Sorry, should say massive bleed. Not need.

PCOSCanPissOFF · 08/12/2019 22:25

So I’m still spotting slightly, I’m 10dpo and tested negative with FMU this morning. The only positive I’ve had was 3 days ago and was very concentrated urine and since then they’ve all been negative. I’m even questioning whether that one was even positive or whether it was a weird line as the ink got drawn up the test? Confused

Could this still be implantation bleeding or am I kidding myself?

It’s happening again and I can’t do this.

Ask your gp to do a blood test to measure your HCG xx

Ange211 · 09/12/2019 08:07

The spotting sounds like ib but I'm confused by the now negative tests. Depending how sympathetic your GP is contact them for advice otherwise try your EPU they might do a blood test for you. Good luck X
