Brown spotting, not pregnant.

[BeccaT123]

I had brown spotting for a few days about 5 days past ovulation. I was convinced I was finally pregnant as this isn’t usual for me (though I do usually get it at start of period.) I thought it could have been implantation bleeding but the day my period was due it came - brown blood. But seems to have stopped now or is very light anyway. What does light brown spotting mid cycle mean if not pregnant? I’m worried there may be some kind of issue and that’s why I’m not getting pregnant as it’s been a year now. Is it a hormonal imbalance?

I'm sorry to hear that. Yes, I'll do a test x

@Bexb789 - those don’t look like evap lines at all to me. The fact that they didn’t come up in the time could mean low HcG which in turn could mean very early pregnancy, ectopic or miscarriage. Hope you get some answers soon. When is/was your period due?

@ActonBell yeah they're super blue lines... Thank you. It should be due this Friday so I'll keep you posted x

Hi Guys, does this test look positive to you? Currently 12dpo! TTC baby number 2 for 3 months now with no luck! Am currently 4 days late no AF and today I got this pregnancy test

How is everyone getting on in this thread? I've been spotting since Monday and I got my bfp yesterday, but still spotting a little so a bit nervous. Just wondered if anyone else was in the same situation? X

@Bexb789 I'd recommend getting some different tests, preferably with pink dye (like first response). These particular clear blue ones are known for false positives that appear after the time frame. It happened to me, while a first response test was blank and it did turn out that I wasn't pregnant. Even though a clear blue had a solid line (that appeared after the 10min time frame)

@Sweetieheart16 Have you tried testing again since then with a pink dye? I think it looks good x

@Bexb789 I used FRER and it was negative. The spotting has stopped and I had a negative lateral flow test as well so maybe it's just me being unwell x

@ActonBell @Ocelotka
I did an Asda test yesterday that was negative.

AF is yet to arrive, 4 days late. Boobs have never hurt so much, nausea is horrendous for a few hours every day still and all the other stuff is persisting, no more bleeding since it stopped on the 11th though.

Gonna get back onto my doc in the next few days see what's going on. Chased up the ultrasound I was referred for to be told I was discharged from gynie after my colposcopy appointment...

@BeccaT123 @Amberley90 how are you feeling now?

@cruz86 @clairesbear I'm so sorry I didn't see either of your comments last week, how are you both?

@Bexb789 My boobs are hurting but it might be hormonal as they hurt around this time last month. I have cramping too. I don't have brown discharge anymore.
I'm sorry to hear that you're going through this. I hope you are able to have a scan and find out what's happening. My fingers are crossed for you xx

@Amberley90 bless ya, mine have been in agony for weeks, normally lasts for a few days and lets up just before my period starts. Started to bleed today, seems it may be my period almost 2 weeks late but its quite light. Think this whole thing might be my hormones.

Ultrasound is booked Monday 8th, turns out its a different hospital! Xx

@Bexb789 I hope you have answers soon and that the Ultrasound helps. I'm sorry to hear that you've started bleeding xx
I think it looks a bit like my boobs are bigger and the areolas look almost bruised. I don't know why as I'm sure it's hormonal xx

@Amberley90 Just finished my appointment and it appears I have a cyst on my left ovary which is the only side I had any pain too. Gotta get reviewed by a consultant before it goes back to my docs. Radiologist didn't seem too concerned though 😊

@Bexb789
How are you feeling? I hope you're alright. I'm glad the Radiologist isn't worried xx

@Amberley90 I'm okay, I feel like I have some answers even though its not the full answer. Physically feeling great now thankfully, since my period started I feel like a new person. How are you? xx

@Bexb789 I'm glad you're feeling good. It's good that you have those answers now. I completely understand feeling like a new person too. I'm alright, getting there. Sometimes I feel quite down but not always. I had some brown CM for a few days and then pink spotting. I'm not thinking I'm pregnant though xx
