5 weeks with BFP and bleeding

Hi folks - has anyone had a bleed and cramps at 5 weeks and still tested positive after bleeding stops?

I'm 5 weeks today and woke up for a pee during the night and noticed some pink blood when wiping. As the morning has went on the colour has got darker and I am experiencing cramps. They are bad - but not as bad as I get during AF (really severe).

I have spoken to GP who thinks it's a MC. I also had a chemical preg at 4 weeks 4 days last month. I am awaiting a call back from EPAS to see if they think doing anything else is worth it at the moment other than 'riding it out' and taking a test after bleeding stops.

Basically I'm clutching at straws and hoping this could just be a hormonal bleed and I will still have my BFP when the bleeding stops🤞🏻.

Is there anyone out there had a similar experience?

Just incase anyone comes across this thread - took a HPT and came back negative so MC instead of a hormonal bleed.

Hi @Geemmm so sorry to hear that. I'm going through something similar and just wanted to thank you for taking the time to update your post, it was really helpful (albeit sad) to hear what happened. Really hoping you've had your BFP since or will do soon

Thank you, miscarriage at 5 weeks too. Does it get easier in time? I feel so silly feeling sad when it's early but we were so excited.

I'm sorry for your loss and that BFP hasn't come yet. I hope it's not too long for you and your next pregnancy goes smoothly.

I hope I'll be able to get pregnant again but if so I know I'm going to spend the whole first trimester worrying. I can't imagine how people feel after stillborns Sad
