Bleeding 5-6 Weeks Pregnant?!

Hey, my last period was 29th Jan. So I am roughly 2 weeks late. I've had various symptoms mainly fatigue, constipation, nausea, pointy nipples, missed period & gone off meat / coffee. No sore boobs.

For 3 weeks I've had very mild cramping most days, all day on and off. 3 Negative tests, then at 5 weeks 2 days and again on 5 weeks 3 days, 2 (very faint) positive line tests.

On Sunday evening I had intercourse & half way through my cramps got bad and in my lower back. 20 minutes later it subsided.

13 hours later I had blood when going to the toilet. I wasn't sure if my period was just late and the tests faulty. the blood is thin, fresh red blood, no clots & not enough for a tampon or to ruin clothes like a period. Overnight my pad had a small 1cm circle of dry blood by morning, the bleeding had gotten slightly heavier during the day today and now around 31 hours after it started its almost completely stopped.

I am still cramping every so slightly but its never been bad enough to want pain killers or heat. Drs can't see me for 2 weeks due to being busy, and hospital said the earliest they will scan is Friday when I hit 6 weeks.

I wondered if anyone else had symptoms of mild cramping & bleeding after intercourse and if it is normal?

Can you self refer to EPU?

That's hospital on Friday, already did that. They wont see me earlier than 6 weeks

I had a bleed at 11 weeks and the first thing they asked me is if I'd had sex. The cervix becomes sensitive apparently.

Unfortunately before 6 weeks doc/midwife etc will be reluctant to look at you as they need a heartbeat/flutter to be visible on screen.

I've bled twice through this pregnancy (I'm 34 weeks) and it turns out I had a very small puddle of blood under my placenta and was told it would be either absorbed into the body or would leak.

Dont panic just yet. Hope it all works out ok ❤

Thanks, I'm not too worried as the pain isn't bad nor the blood and it isnt heavy. I assumed it was due to sex and wondered if anyone else had experienced this. I'll know better come Friday Thanks!

Have you had a stronger positive test than the two you mentioned?

Kay988 · 10/03/2020 20:17

Not since yesterday morning 7am, then bleed started 11am. Barely bleeding at all now. I can wait till docs / Friday

I would suggest a few scenarios: you have a SCH (subchoronic haematoma), are miscarrying or it is ectopic. Bleeding is not harmful for you and they won't do anything to stop it at this stage, but if you have strong/sharp pain at anytime or obviously if the bleeding becomes excessive then seek medical attention prior to Friday.

Did you get seen OP?

It sounds like a possible chemical pregnancy to me. I've had 3 in the past year and I've had faint positives then negatives along with spotting and bleeding after sex. Eventually at around 5-6 weeks I've had AF arrive. Hugs. X
