Early pregnancy loss?

[Charlotte111111]

I am new to TTC
I am a 37 year old who started trying in April this year.

I tested +VE on Monday and Wednesday after expierencing significant abdominal pain at work on Monday. On Monday I would have been around 9 DPO, some light spotting started on Tuesday and had a further +VE test on Wednesday. Was not feeling positive at all due to the spotting but my pregnancy symptoms were worsening and the spotting settled so was happier yesterday evening. (Day 26 of a 28 day cycle). I booked an early scan for ‘bleeding and pain’ for later in June expecting the worse.

This morning bleeding worsening / took another test and it remains positive (albeit not my first urine of the day so faint). Not particularly crampy but ongoing pregnancy symptoms.

TMI photo pictured (Sorry) -

One thing I will say is that I am very sensitive to bleeding in the context of progesterone - bled like this using implants, POP’s much to the disbelief of the sexual health consultants who always told me it would ‘settle down’, it never did - the only thing that worked for me is the IUS and even then I would get spotting.

Has anyone ever had bleeding this like in ‘early pregnancy’ / ‘implantation’ or should I accept that this is a chemical pregnancy and non-viable? I doubt its a regular period as HCG has been picked up now on four seperate tests (and brands!) prior to my expected period.

Any help or advice please

It’s so hard to say OP. If it were a chemical your tests will start getting lighter over the next few days before becoming negative. It could be implantation bleeding but it does look quite red and more period like but I could be totally wrong! Also some women can bleed in pregnancy and it doesn’t mean anything bad. How is the bleeding now?

The bleeding starting to settle - I have contacted my local EPAS for some advice too

Hopefully it’s nothing untoward and everything will be ok! It’s so difficult in the early stages as even a scan won’t show anything but perhaps they can offer you hcg bloods? I wish you the best and please update with how you’re getting on xx

I will

I have spoken to EPAS who were brilliant -
they have said that they have seen woman have implantation bleeding so heavy it has soaked tampons / pads and everything has been OK, I am to test next week and if it is still positive (even faintly) they will get me scanned the week after.

They said I was at the right time of my cycle for it to be implantation too.

She said she did not want to get my hopes up too much as it could also be a miscarriage.

They said No to HCG bloods

This is how the spotting is now today - period not due until tomorrow on calendar - faint positive only this AM

How are you getting on @Charlotte111111?
