Bleeding light, got heavier then positive test? Help

[firsttimemummy321]

Sorry it's a bit long but want to make sure I don't miss anything that could be important as I'm very confused and can't call my dr til tomorrow.

Also sorry tmi taking about period blood!

7dpo - started spotting very pale pink when I wiped, got a bit excited

8dpo - tested stupidly as was hopeful from the previous days light bleed - negative frer - but when I wiped it was red - felt a bit sad and confused but apparently when still breastfeed (12 month old) you can have a shorter lp so just assumed it was my period and hoped it wouldn't take long to get back to normal as not sure how long the lp has to be for a chance to conceive. Blood then got lighter in colour and amount so felt a bit hopeful again.

9dpo - this morning - wake up do a test as was hopeful and confused, got a very faint but definitely there line (hard to photograph so edited with gamma) - but then when I wiped still very bright red blood (spot in underwear but a good amount when wiping - took several wipes)

Can anyone help, has anyone had similar and what happened?

Could this be super heavy implantation bleed (I haven't bled at all since April 2020 (pill which was stopped in nov and bf)? Or could it be an early chemical but I've always had positive tests then a week or so later bled not bled then had a positive test)

Or could it be something else? I'm panicking ectopic but surely that wouldn't bleed this early anyway? 😞

Hi op!! I've read of quite a few people who get darker blood for implantation bleeding! I see the line😍😍😍

I got what I thought was a full blown period... Currently 5+2! Looks like implantation! Keep testing and they will probs get darker!

That's a negative test.

@Genevive123 thank you 🥰 I'm keeping everything crossed but not feeling too hopeful 😞

@Pettylamby congratulations 😍 and thank you for sharing your story ❤️ I'll keep the thread updated whatever happens :)

@24YearsAtTheTapEnd thank you, although I wasn't asking if there was a line, it is very faint and barely able to photograph but I can see it irl.

It's still really really early to be testing so try and hang on a few days and re-test. Good luck

I just changed the colour of the pic slightly there's for sure a line !!

I'm sorry I can't see anything but I am never good at spotting the squinters. Fingers crossed and test again in a couple of days

@Genevive123 thank you :) did smith ic and same a line but super faint (usually blank) I know it won't change this quickly but it was staring at me 😂

@Hopefulhedgehog it is faint but more visible irl 🤞🏻

Just confused got faint lines an a very there 2nd line on an opk but not positive and bleeding red at only 9dpo 🙈

This happened to me. I bled bright red fairly heavy for 2 days and then hardly anything day 3, but mixed with a ton of CM. what made me think it was a VERY odd period was that normally im 5-6 days heavy heavy bleeding with lots of clots and tissue. This was just blood and CM. and then stopped abruptly. Tested like 2 days after and got a squinter. Now im 7+5, and had an early private scan because the bleeding concerned me a little (albeit before I got the positive test) and the confirmed there is defo one in there with a very strong heartbeat! :) I hope this happens for you too! I can see your line :D

Fingers crossed @firsttimemummy321 keep us updated

@TalulaBella aw thank you so much for sharing your story and congratulations!!

@Hopefulhedgehog thank you :)

So another faint positive this morning although I'd definitely say darker than before but still super faint (very difficult to show on camera but I can see it more clearly)

Still bleeding but back to very light/spotting only light pinky red when wipe.

I don't understand it was negative before the bleed but surely it would be so much darker by now? (With my first my levels were crazy high even the dr commented it was doubling nearly every day so maybe I have unrealistic expectations of line progression?) 😞

Best pic I can get but I'd say it was more visible but still extremely faint for what I'd expect :(

I’m currently 16 weeks and still bfeeding. My implantation bleeding was like a weird period, quite heavy but also stop and start. I put it down to the hormones and didn’t quite realise I was pregnant until the morning sickness kicked in. Maybe give it a week or so to test again?

@firsttimemummy321 How is the progress if u dont mind me asking?

@Pettylamby when u said full blown period, was it as heavy as what a real period is? Hope u dont mind me asking because I m unsure of my first day of period today. It looks like a normal period to me but without clots, and my cervix feels soft and a bit higher. Not hoping so much though. Prolly just me over analyzing the situation. 😅

@Mariposa123 How far along were you when you found out about the pregnancy?

Sorry I've only just seen the replies 🙈

@Mariposa123 thank you and congratulations!

@beautifulinitstime and an update
Faded and negative now but no further bleeding. Assuming it was an early period as I ovulated at the weekend 2 weeks after the bleed. Well think I did positive opk on Sunday and temp rise yesterday 🤞🏻

@firsttimemummy321 great to hear you're in your tww phase again. Wishing u the best hun! 🤞🏻

@beautifulinitstime not at all, it was like the first day of a period, no clots but only lasted 24 hours. I went for an early scan at 6 weeks which showed two gestational sacs, one with an embryo with a little heartbeat and one completely empty, the midwife thinks the bleeding was very likely the miscarriage of the second twin! Currently 7+6 and had a scan yesterday which showed the second sac has started to collapse and should be reabsorbed!

@Pettylamby vanishing twin, that makes senses of the bleeding. So sorry to hear about that hun, and wishing u a wonderful pregnancy ahead ❤️ anyway, did u test positive before that 'period'?

@beautifulinitstime thank you! Yeah I had faint positives for two days and the evening before the 'period' I would say I got my BFP where I was sure it was getting darker and was a definite positive FRER. Tested two days after the bleeding and it was clear progression and carried on from there! 😊

@Pettylamby that sounds promising much! As for my case I didn't even test positive before my period came today so I guess mine is just purely period. I just unsure why my cervix feels kinda soft as it usually a bit hard when period comes visiting.

@Mariposa123

Hello I saw your post about your implantation bleeding being heavy. I just stared trying to conceive and my period was 3 days late. I took few first response 6days sooner preg test and it was positive faint line but visible enough for the app to read pregnant. I was overly surprised and anxious so I bought more they were all faint but showed positive.
Now today I got some bleeding initially it was brown then it slowly got alittle more brown red and it hasent soaked my panty liner but feels heavy it would stop and then come back it’s only been few hours but I got emotional thinking the worst. But comforted by reading your post. I never done these forums but I’m sure it will help.
