3 previous losses and currently 5 weeks pregnant

Hello, I'm so stressed at the moment... I had 3 miscarriages last year, and at 3 weeks and 1 day (2 weeks ago tomorrow), I had mild heartburn and bad mood swings, so I decided to take a pregnancy test, and it was positive.
I was shocked as 3 weeks 1 day seems really early to get a positive test, although over the last two weeks, my symptoms have became stronger, and my tests have gotten darker, and I have gone from 1-2 weeks on a Clear Blue to 3+.

However, I had a small, bright pinky-red bleed at 3 weeks 3 days, followed by about 5 days of spotting a mixture of light to mid brown.
I haven't spotted since, however I feel a lot of my symptoms have faded over the last 5 days or so.. I'm still tired and irritable, very bloated, slightly sensitive breasts, but I don't really have sensitivities to smells anymore, nor do I get as much heartburn, my CM is drier some days too.

Tests pictured have the dates on, not DPO as I don't know exact day I ovulated, I only know day of my last period.
Both Clear Blue were take on the 24th, so 4 weeks 3 days pregnant.

Anxiously waiting until I'm 6 weeks, as the EPAU won't see me until then...

Has any of this happened to anyone else?

Sorry for the long post!! Xx

Hi! The tests looks like they gave got darker which is reassuring. It might have just been implantation bleeding. You are still quite early for symptoms so I wouldn’t read too much into them coming and going.

The waiting is really hard this early on especially having had miscarriages before. I am currently 5 weeks too and 3 previous miscarriages and trying to keep my anxiety at bay, but am on progesterone pessaries which can mask the bleeding. My symptoms have just been tiredness which has come and gone…

Sorry I realise this post may not be too helpful, but here for moral support if you need.

@sannax Thank you for your comment. It's so tough waiting isn't it!
I did another test this morning and it has gotten even darker, still a week to go until I can call the EPAU though, which will drag I'm sure.
I'm not on progesterone, I was referred to the miscarriage department, however I was lost in the system and at the time it wasn't something I wanted to chase up. We will see how this pregnancy works out...
I'm so sorry to hear you have also had 3 losses.
Wishing you the best of luck!
