Hi all. Period was due on Wednesday. Took a test and very faint positive. Took another the following day and still very faint but definitely there. Saturday night I started spotting brown blood. Wasn't too worried as i know it can be common. Woke up on Sunday morning and blood was bright red and heavier, however not as heavy as my period normally is. Stopped for a while yesterday afternoon then started again last night. Still not very heavy- I'm wearing a pad but there's not much on it, only when I wipe. But I'm having horrendous cramps- like period pain but worse.

Not looking good is it? Sad

It doesn't sound good I'm afraid. I would take another pregnancy test in a few days and if you're still getting +s then get yourself to the Dr for blood work as you don't want to run the risk of an ectopic. Otherwise just mooch on the sofa today with a rom-com, and some chocolate and ice cream I say Flowers

So very sorry. It's so disheartening isn't it?

I too had a faint positive & then bleeding 12 hours later. It was my longest cycle ever and even though the bleeding wasn't much more than a normal period the cramps were really awful & woke me in the night which is something that never happens to me.

I think I had a chemical pregnancy.

Big hugs OP

Similar happened to me in January. Very faint positive lines for a few days in a row then full blown heavy bleeding and my skin absolutely exploded with spots as well. It wasn't very nice. I got my next BFP in March and am around 12 weeks now (scan on the 9th!)

Have a relaxing few days xx

Funnily enough Zoomtothespoon my skin exploded too. Now calmed down slightly as AF finished two days ago. Congrats to you on your BFP.
