Faint positive & brown spotting 11dp5dt

Hi ladies,
Just looking for some advice!

I have been getting faint positives for the last couple of days. Took a digital last night as was going out of my mind and it came back ‘pregnant’ safe to say I cried for hours!

My worry is lines aren’t getting any darker and I have have brown spotting when I wipe (sorry tmi)

My official test day isn’t until tomorrow.
Clinic usually do blood work but there is a shortage in the nhs or something so I have to do an at home test.

Has anyone had a similar experience? Panicking incase something is wrong.

Thanks xx

Yes I had this. It was such a stressful time as we’re always told that blood is a bad sign. Mine continued up until 8 weeks and then stopped and the rest of my pregnancy was problem free. I had quite a few appointments with my clinic during that time and every time I mentioned it they weren’t bothered at all. I did have my progesterone levels checked but they would have done that anyway and everything was fine. One said that it’s not classed as normal but it’s not uncommon. Try to relax, I know that’s easier said than done though.

Also to add mine was mainly brown too although it did go red a couple of times. The clinic told me that whatever I did, make sure I keep going with my medication.

Do you have an update @ivf2021 ?

I'm experiencing something similar, very very faint positives but digital came back 'pregnant' but now seeing pink when wiping. AF due today so thinking chemical.

@Betsyboo87 thank you so much for ur comments ❤️❤️❤️ for some reason they never showed up so I thought no one ever replied! Hope u r having or had an amazing pregnancy ❤️ xxx

@aquarius0126 try not to stress I read 10000 posts while I was going through this and realised that it was out of my control and the odds were 50/50. I rang my clinic and they said brown and pink spotting is totally normal aswell a light red. Unfortunately within a day or so after this post I had heavy bleeding and after a couple of blood tests it was confirmed as a chemical pregnancy. But like I say don't loose hope if ur worried ring and try and get a hcg test to put ur mind at ease xxx
