Currently 5dpo and went to the toilet and wiped and had brown discharge will post a picture below and then it turned like a light pinkish colour. And got mild cramps on my left side. My AF is not due for another 10 days can anyone help this has never happened to me before never had any bleeding between cycles! Sorry the the picture if anyone is offended!

I'd wait a few more days to test too if I were you!
My AF is due Friday so I'll be testing on Saturday too if it doesn't show.
Hopefully we both get BFPs this weekend!

JadeShaw94 · 26/10/2022 14:20

Yeah I’m going to mine is due on Monday, but the bleeding/spotting has really thrown me off, this was definitely nothing like a period but if it’s still negative after my period then god knows I’m clinging onto any hope. And these faint lines that could be evap lines are really not helping! Got my fingers crossed for you! Let me know please. Have you had any symptoms? X

I've had a list of symptoms, from acid reflux to a little bit of burning under my left bb. However, I'm such a symptom spotter so I've been noticing everything possible and these could all be PMS symptoms! It's so difficult isn't it?!

JadeShaw94 · 26/10/2022 20:39

I’ve been having heartburn, few headaches here and there, but today my thighs ache and my neck like I’ve pulled muscles so that’s annoying! Our bodies can actually trick us it’s so not fair! Fingers crossed tho x

Did your AF show up?

It did 🙁how are you doing? Have you tested yet?

JadeShaw94 · 29/10/2022 22:23

Oh no I’m sorry! 😞 fingers crossed for next time sending you lots of baby dust! Still got symptoms but sometimes I think my body is just tricking me I did a test yesterday but AF ain’t due until Monday. Last month I had a 24 days cycle af came 2 days early last month today I’m day 24 of my cycle it’s confuses me because I think I ovulated somewhere between 13th and the 18th more so the 13th but app says between these dates. And then spotted on the 21st so I think it would have shown up on a test by now but I’m gonna wait until af shows up if not wait a couple days and maybe test again. Bloody doing my head in. Hope that made sense 😂🙈

@JadeShaw94 hi, I’m not wanting to alarm you at all but please keep an eye on your bleeding and side pain. Obviously and hopefully this is implantation bleeding. But I had an ectopic previously and I had on and off brown blood throughout and obviously the side pain as well.

I had this on and off for a couple of weeks before the pain really worsened and I knew then without a doubt what the issue was. I also tested positive then a few days later negative and then positive again and I think that is common and I was really bloated as well in the two week before I ruptured.

I am really sorry for posting something negative here. I’m sure your fine, that it’s implantation bleeding which is also really common but it was just with you mentioning the pain and the brown blood and I know that I wish I had known earlier because it would have saved my tube had I known.

if your worried phone EPU and have them scan you

Saribon · 29/10/2022 23:15

I also had these really sharp shooting pains up my vagina (sorry tmi) and pulling pain behind my belly button. I’d been pregnant three times before the ectopic and these pains were very acute, strong and different from normal pregnancy aches and strains

Also a symptom I didn’t have was shoulder too pain, which sounds strange but it was something they kept asking about in hospital

I’m sure this isn’t the case here and I wish you all the best xx

Hello, thank you for your message firstly I’m really sorry to hear you experienced this and your tube couldn’t be saved that sounds awful 😩 . I haven’t had any side pain. My bleeding/spotting stopped after 3/4 days I have no idea what it was tbh I thought it could be implantation but obvs I can’t be 100% just gotta wait for my period to show up fingers crossed it doesn’t and do get my BFP but I do know they mention shoulder pain is one of the symptoms of eptopic pregnancy which is why they most likely asked you about that. I’m just gonna keep an eye on the situation but I appreciate your message 😌x

@JadeShaw94 oh good!! I’m sorry I thought I read that you had had side pain. Well I really hope it was implantation, it sounds positive if it’s unusual for you. Good luck and sorry for hijacking your thread with my panic 🤣

I don’t want to freak you out but my experience with mid-cycle bleeding was the same as @Saribon. I also had a negative test just before that bleed, which I had taken as an early period. It was 16 days after that bleed I tested again due to feeling sick and got a strong positive result. I was told ectopics don’t progress in the same way normal pregnancies so always took that to be the reason why I didn’t get a positive result around the time I bled. Just keep an eye out, and if you do get a positive result before your next period I would be on to the EPU explaining about the bleed and not being sure about your dates- that’s what got me an early scan where they identified my ectopic, but they still couldn’t save my tube.

Hello. I haven't had any strong positive just 3 random very faint lines that I keep thinking could be indent lines. I haven't had any symptoms of an ectopic I'm gonna see if my period comes tomorrow if not I'll test again. If negative I'll check again in a couple of days and I'd still nothing I'll give the doctors a ring. I'm sorry you went through that and lost your tube. I honestly hope that's not what's happening to me. But I'll keep my eye out but have got heartburn. Sore boobies but I get that with AF sometimes too not the heartburn tho. Headaches it's all just bizarre and playing with my mind 🫣😞

JadeShaw94 · 31/10/2022 20:52

Also my app said I ovulated around 13th -19th with my spotting started on the 21st for about 3 days and I’m now on day 26 of my cycle and my last cycle lasted 24 days

TheCraicDealer · 31/10/2022 21:11

I was about 7w when it was picked up and I had zero symptoms, apart from the bleed. Even when I was admitted to hospital and being prepped for surgery they kept asking me “any abdominal or shoulder tip pain?” and I was like “I would tell you if I had!”. That’s why my advice would be to get on to the EPU and explain about the heaviness of the bleed vs your dates if you feel that you have a positive test result. Fingers crossed you get some clarity soon!

I haven't had any heavy bleeding. Literally just spotted and had the odd patch when I wiped or on my panty liner. Was nothing like a normal period. Is ectopic a heavy bleed? I really hope I have some answers soon. I know doctors won't be interested until I've missed my period but even then I don't think they will be too bothered they wasn't when I phoned about the spotting. Just told me to do some swabs for infections meaning STIs I know I definitely don't have any of them 🙈😂 so who knows so frustrating
