3 positive tests yesterday, but bleeding today...

I got 3 strong positive tests yesterday, the day my period was due which was 14 days dpo. Me and my husband celebrated and were so happy.

This morning, when I went to the toilet and wiped there was red blood on the toilet paper. I also had tiny amounts of brown spotting yesterday.

I thought this would be too late for implantation bleeding so I'm worrying this could be a miscarriage.

Any similar experiences?

Implantation bleeding can happen around the time of your period, and spotting is also not uncommon. This is normally lighter than your normal period and will be shorter.
miscarriages usually contain clots etc. I hope this can reassure you a bit.

Thank you for the reassurance.
It's made me so nervous immediately, wondering. It was a lighter colour than I'm used to seeing, there was just quite a noticeable amount on the paper. I'm worried about it getting heavier. I hope everything is OK.
Thanks xx

Implantation bleeding is usually lighter than a normal period (almost pinkish). Just keep an eye on it. If brown spotting isn’t usual in your cycle then it might be implantation. I’m not a doctor so I can only say from my experience. I hope everything is all okay for you. X

Had another trip to the toilet and there's quite a lot of blood. It's light-ish in colour. But the amount doesn't seem right. Think we've got to protect ourselves from continuing being too excited now 😞

I had 3 days of faint positives (on Clearblue) and on the first day I had bleeding. This bleeding continued for the 3 days. I had a blood clot on the first day of bleeding. After 2 days of no bleeding, I had some brown spotting.

Cheap pregnancy tests have been negative since then.

Doctor sent me for a blood test yesterday & also a swab test.

I'm sure I had a miscarriage. Just waiting to have it confirmed by test result.

Your experience sounds different. I would say keep testing if you can. Your lines were strong so that's good. 🤞 it's all fine.

The bleeding has been intense and continuous today and now there are clots. It's got painful too. At this point, I'm 100% sure it's a miscarriage.
I called my doctor, should be able to go in to see them in the next couple of days to get it checked/confirmed.

So sorry to hear that. It's so awful. I had a similar experience when I was ttc #2. Hope you feel better soon. Don't be disheartened. I actually ended up conceiving within 3 months after my miscarriage.
