Hi,
Has anyone experienced light spotting throughout the first 5 weeks? I keep doing pregnancy tests and all are positive.

Hi
It’s quite common, and brown/pinkish spotting is usually implantation but if you’re concerned, call your local EPU who can advise :)

Thanks ! Just a bit concerned. I’ll call the doctors today. 1st pregnancy and think I’m a little over concerned

No, it’s totally understandable! It’s my first too and I had some spotting around the time AF was due, ended up in A&E and told to just take another HPT in a couple of weeks.
So, have to take one next Tuesday and then early reassurance scan in a week.
It’s a terrifying time, so he kind to yourself and try to relax.
They told me that unless it’s bright red, there’s loads of it, and you have cramps/pain it should be fine.
Good luck, and ring the EPU - the GP won’t do anything!
