Me and my DH have been trying to conceive baby number 2! I have had very irregular periods up until 23/04/2023 where I had a normal 5 day period with bright red blood! Unfortunately I don’t think this month was our month but anyway….. my period was due Sunday and on Sunday I had really bad period cramps and thought it was coming… on to Monday I still had bad period cramps but when I went to the toilet and wiped I had pinkish/brown spotting no pad needed but this lasted all day (again only when wiping) Tuesday the spotting/bleeding became heavier that I needed a pad and had to change it through out the day and same as today pads needed…. My only reason for this thread is the blood isn’t bright red it’s dark brown (like old blood what you get at the end of your period)… I mean I had all the symptoms of my period coming cramps and are currently on day 2 of fairly heavy bleeding that I need to change pads 3 times a day! Has anyone else had brown blood on their period instead of bright red! Is this normal??

Have you had a positive pregnancy test, it’s likely to be your period but if you have had a positive pregnancy test maybe need to discuss with GP or EPU?

I had this with my second pregnancy, thought I had had a period but was different to normal and no where near as heavy. I did a pregnancy test a week later as realised I didn't get a migraine which I would normally get with my period (was migraine free during first pregnancy).

Basically it could be a lot of different things, but do a test. The doctor then sent me for an early scan to check everything out.

@LittleMrsPerfect all the pregnancy tests I have taken as been negative! I don’t track ovulation so could have possibly ovulated late and it’s heavy implantation bleeding! I never got that with my first but my friend said she had a full period with her first child and similar to what I’m having now with her second and she’s currently 18 weeks pregnant!

@MigGirl and yeah it’s definitely not a normal period and not as heavy but I do have to wear a pad now… all my tests have been negative.

I had to wear pads to, but as I didn't think to test until a week later. Who knows what it would have shown at the time. You can just wait and see what happens.

@MigGirl and so did you end up being pregnant when you tested a week later? And what test did you use again?
