Im loosing my mind here-
I've now done 7 pregnancy tests since last Wed (1/02) and all have come up positive- with varying degrees of speed at coming up and darkness in the line, but all def positive.
I've done 2 digital ones- both said pregnant almost straight away but the conception indicator has dropped from predicting 2-3 weeks pregnant last friday to 1-2 weeks today.
I've had a brownish discharge since last thurs (2/02)- no actual bleeding only when i wipe (sorry!!, Im not getting any cramps but also not really getting any pregnancy symptoms except I'm tired.
though as i haven't been sleeping great my tiredness could be that simply.
My gut feeling is I'm miscarrying- but with bing so early on in the pregnancy surely my hcg levels would not be detectable on tests after a week.
ectopic??- surely hcg levels would be going up
twins and lost one??
i know the conception indicator on the digi tests aren't as reliable
and also know that hog stays int he system after miscarrying
BUT I'm not bleeding, only spotting for a week, mainly brownish but sometimes reddy brown.
help help please, I've phoned EPU and they say I'm too early for them to go to A&e, but I'm not having pain-
how can i as a woman go to a and e and say I'm pregnant and spotting!!
have made an app next week with epu and also gp, can't be seen by either before next wed.
help someone please

Spotting can be implantation bleeding - I had this when I was 6 weeks pregnant with DD. Go to A&E, they will help you. Take care.

Ps DD is now 16 weeks old and shouting her head off in the background Smile

Please try not to stress too muchl. Those digital tests are a pain in the arse. They detect the level of HCg in the urine, so if your on the cusp, of 2-3/3-4 it can change.

Stop testing as your ownly causing yourself more stress. Relax and keep your feet up. Chances are its an implantation bleed and all is fine

My implantation bleed is now nearly 4 and about to be taken to school!

Go to A&E because it is not good to be stressing yourself out and that is all you'll be able to do until you get an answer.
Best of luck with it x
