It’s likely implantation bleeding which happens around the same time as you are due on. As long as it’s light and not bright red there’s usually nothing to worry about. I found it lasted a couple of days - seems like the start of your period so it’s odd when it doesn’t come to anything. Congratulations!

@Daisylookslost
Thankyou . I’m just so worried it’s going to be another ectopic ? Last time though I didn’t get bleeding until 5 weeks . At that point I was bleeding inside . This time it’s just small amounts that are pink / dark yellow, brown . I will have to see how I go . X

Yeah I saw your other posts after replying to this! See how u go. If your experience this time is different to your ectopic - that is a good sign.
From what you describe this is exactly what I had, and that was a successful pregnancy. If I were you I’d take this as a possible sign that the pregnancy might be in the right place this time. Completely get why you are so worried, so was I with the spotting etc and i haven’t had an ectopic before. Midwife said light blood which is the colours you describe is old blood and usually nothing to worry about. X

I had spotting (or sometimes heavier) everyday from 4.5w until 8w. My Drs were never concerned about it but I was petrified! It suddenly stopped one day and I had nothing more for the rest of my pregnancy. Try not to worry, although I know it’s easier said than done. Congratulations on your pregnancy.

So sorry to hear that @Lifesforloving1, hope you’re holding up ok. It can go either way when there’s spotting etc, completely sucks that It’s not good news for you this time. Hope you’ve got supportive people around you. Take care of yourself x
