Last week Tuesday took the test and I was very lightly positive.
Took the test again on Thursday and again was lightly positive.

On Friday I bought the clearblue plus test and it was again lightly positive.
Took another test on Saturday morning and was light positive but a bit more clearer than the other test I took on Tuesday (same brand, firststep).

Saturday I bought the clearblue digital and first response test (one blue and one pink dye).

Took both tests this morning.

Clearblue digital came up pregnant and 2-3 weeks pregnant.
First Response within a min came up clear positive.

It looks like I am pregnant however I have been under some stress for the last few days due to some personal stuff and ive been spotting since yesterday morning and this morning.
The spotting has been light and brown in colour but say enough for a panty liner but not a pad.

Should I be worried as I have read about miscaridges when blood is involved in pregnancy??

It's a concern but not a worry. Would you have been due your period now? Sometimes, the body releases some of the 'old' uterine lining when menstruation is due, but this won't affect the pregnancy.

With DD2, I spotted (brown/pink) just before I tested: I spotted infrequently through the first trimester. It was scary, but as long as its not fresh, red blood, and there's not a lot of it (i.e. a pad full) you should be okay. Just keep your eye on it and inform your GP when you tell him/her that you're pregnant!!

Congratulations!!I

Thank you for your response.

My period was due 4-5 days back.

How many days should I give the spotting before getting worried?

I didn't think I was pregnant as I had some blood when I was due in it wasn't the normal amount for a period but enough for a pantiliner after a few more days I still hadn't come on took a pregnancy test and was pregnant. Spotting is quite common this early I thought it may have been implantation bleeding but the dating scan showed that it wasn't.
Try not to worry it sounds like you are pregnant if you are really concerned contact a midwife or your doctor fingers crossed for you x

Don't worry! Just monitor it and tell your GP about it. Like I said, I had it from being about 4weeks pg to about 11 weeks. My DD2 is almost 8mo now and is fine! Good pg, great birth, no probs :)
