Hey ladies, I'm currently 5w 3d pregnant at the age of 40. Hubby and I decided to start trying for DC number 2 last month and were stunned (because of my age) when I conceived first go! The symptoms started almost straight away and I tested positive at 13dpo, we were over the moon.
Last Thursday I experienced some stress at work and noticed shortly afterwards that some of my symptoms (nausea and sore boobs) had disappeared.
On Sunday night I noticed a light brown tinge on my liner but nothing when I wiped - thought nothing much of it.
Throughout Monday, I started getting a light brown tinge when I wiped as well and by lunchtime there was quite a bit of watery brown blood on the tissue. I was seen in A&E where a urine test came back positive and poking around my sides ruled out an ectopic. Other than that, there was nothing they could do as our hospital won't scan until 6 weeks - they just said go home and do as little as possible until the bleeding stopped. Impossible with a two year old when your hubby works away! They advised me to come back to A&E or call 111 if the bleeding got worse.
The bleeding tailed off shortly afterwards but was back yesterday morning, nothing on the liner but browny red blood on wiping. It gradually got heavier and redder throughout the day appearing on the pad also so I saw my GP who said there was nothing she could do but I should come back if I'm still bleeding next Monday (when I'm six weeks) and she'll organise a scan. Around lunchtime I got a bad bout of nausea for the first time in five days, this actually raised my hopes that my HCG levels were rising but at the same time there was quite a bit of red blood with the odd tiny clot when I wiped - talk about mixed signals 
. At this point I accepted in my head that I was likely miscarrying, had a good cry and decided I may as well get on with my day rather than laying on the sofa as what was going to happen would happen regardless. The bleeding eased again yesterday evening but throughout the night I was getting plenty of pinky red watery blood when I wiped to the point where I put a tampon in.
This morning I felt a little pain for the first time, I can only describe it as a constant, swollen, sore feeling of pressure in my uterus accompanied by faint backache. The bleeding subsided then came back, still pinky red and watery. I went back to the GP and this time they took blood and will do so again on Friday to see if my HCG levels are doubling. I won't have the results until early next week but I have a bad feeling because of my boob soreness disappearing 
. The uterine pain has almost gone now but I'm bleeding like a moderate period and swinging between optimism and despair .. Surely if I was miscarrying the bleeding would be heavier and clotty with severe pain? But at the same time, any bleeding can't be good!
Does anyone have a similar story with a positive outcome? I am trying so hard to remain hopeful but realistically I think it's game over .. Consoling myself with the fact that at least I know I can fall pregnant easily enough!
