Tested positive but bleeding

[Strawz13]

Hi all,

So I missed my period last month... a few days ago (Thursday) I decided to get a pregnant test but that day I started to see a little blood but did the test that night and got a clear positive, bled a little that night too but decided to do one in the morning (Friday) and got a positive too but that night I woke up in the morning (Saturday) to blood stains on my pyjamas as I hadn’t been wearing a liner but seemed quite heavy and since then I have been bleeding little to a lot with blood clots and thick bloody mucus.

I tried to get an appointment with my gp on Friday but no appointments and I wasn’t bleeding much at all then, as it’ was pinkish and light but now it’s red. Will ring tomorrow and get an appointment.
I also feel like I am on my period.
Just wondering if anyone has experienced this or is this a clear sign it’s a miscarriage?

Also I would be 8 weeks

Sorry to hear you’re going through this. It does sound like a miscarriage. I’ve had several and my tests always stay positive and I still have pregnancy symptoms until I’ve been bleeding for a few days. Some people do bleed during early pregnancy though and then go on to have a baby.

I don’t think your GP will be much help. I have always gone directly to the Early Pregnancy Unit in my local hospital. They should be able to arrange a scan although I don’t know how they will be operating at the moment.

Good luck

If you’re bleeding continuously with clots then yes I’m afraid it probably is a miscarriage. Though yes some women bleed in pregnancy and it’s fine, it’s not hugely likely when it’s like this. There’s nothing a doctor can do if it is a miscarriage, though they might want to scan and check it’s not ectopic/that everything has come away as it should. A test could show positive for a while after an MC as your hormone levels drop.

Another vote for trying to get your nearest EPU, 111 might be able to help

Thank you both for your replies 💗

The pregnancy tests don't mean anything. I was still getting positives two weeks after my scan which confirmed there was nothing left inside me, because it takes time for the pregnancy hormones to leave the body.

im same at min tested positive last saturday again on monday to double check yesterday started bleeding but not heavy and no clots not enough to fill a pad bit on pad but not alot any advice would b grate hodpital said could be implantation bleeding baby number 8 and never had this so i am concerned as to weather it is implantation or chemical

I have exactly the same thing... bleeding but no cramps. I only started today I will see of this is still ongoing tomorrow I was advised to bed rest. But I will go to doctor tomorrow.

mines day 2 today i did another test today still positive just dont know wat to think

I know I also feel very confused. This is my first pregnancy. We have been trying since October. I feel very emotional aswell but I hope and pray for the best for all of us. I have a friend who had a miscarriage before and 2 weeks after that she was pregnant again and carried to term. The boy is 6 years old.

this is my 8th pregnancy

Hey, I’m 7 weeks pregnant and I’ve been bleeding since Friday. I’ve got to phone the early pregnancy unit so they can scan me - I’m pretty sure I’ve had a miscarriage, so thinking of you. They’ll probably want to scan you to check everything. X

My blood is very dark looks like old blood. Not fresh blood

Thank you for everyone’s messages. I’m getting a call back from the gp this morning. Thank you @Ak90 thinking of you too.

Good luck xx

Sorry to hear this @Strawz13 it’s not impossible for things to still be ok but the clots do sound like a miscarriage. Sending love

I had a call off the gp and they told me to see how my bleeding goes and to take another test in a few days time, if my bleeding has stopped and I test positive do another one a week after and see then. But if I’m bleeding more and have pain to call them back. She did say some people do bleed in early pregnancy but I don’t feel pregnant anymore and I have passed quite a substantial amount of small clots and blood.

I just came back from hospital and they said to bed rest and monitor the bleeding. Apparently the color of the blood suggests that it is old blood from my missed period. They also did a test an it is still positive. They said to return if blood gets more or I start to pain. I feel a bit of pressure on my stomach don’t know if it is due to me stressing about it.

Op I also passed some clots. But I feel we must stay positive and not stress, stressing also causes miscarriage.

iv also spoke to my gp this morning he said he isnt convinced yet that iv had a miscarriage as iv no pain and only had the tiniest blood clot he wants me re test on wednesday then again on thr saturday if its positive still on wednesday told me to stay off my feet as much as possible fingers crossed for us all going thru this horrible time not knowing whats happening eith our bodies

how is everyone getting on any updates on the bleeding situation im still bleeding this is 3rd day but its slowed right down next to nothing there now

I’m still bleeding this will be my 4th day, I’m going to do another test on Thursday hoping the bleeding will have stopped then.
