Hi ladies, I've been having brown discharge on and off since 8th April. Having no pains, but do feel a slight ache on my left side and every now and then in my shoulder. I'm still getting strong positive lines. Have been trying to get through to my doctors but had no luck, will try again in the morning. I'm 5+4 weeks. Have any of you had this ?

I'd ring 111 if you can't get through to your doctor, they can give more advice and point you in the right direction.

Try phoning the Emergency Gynaecology/ Early Pregnancy Unit at your local hospital. They were really helpful when I couldn’t get through to my GP and had concerns.

I'm having a bit of a nightmare myself at the moment. Around 8 weeks pregnant (to my own calculations) and last Monday started bleeding. Still bleeding today but not as heavy. Hospital taken blood test and iv to go back on Tuesday for another to test hormone levels. They done a scan and still none the wiser. Been told either I'm very early In the pregnancy to detect if what they found is my baby or a mass left over due to possible miscarriage. Iv been a mess all week. Its a lonely experience and noone really to talk to .
Hope all is well with you and your wee baby

Hope all is well, but I’d call 111 for advice – shoulder pain is a symptom of ectopic pregnancy. Combined with the brown discharge, I’d want a scan to rule it out.

Sorry for the late reply, been busy all day with the other children, I will give 111 a call, thank you for your replies and advice ladies x

I did a clear blue digital test earlier this morning and got pregnant 2/3 tube just re tested and got 1/2 earlier I used test midstream and the recent on I dipped but only dipped for 5 seconds. Should I be worried or could it be that my urine is diluted

@Morganxo this isn't really the thread for your question Confused Consider making a new one

33mama · 19/04/2022 16:46

Hey ladies, went to hospital to looked over and scanned, checked cervix which is closed, did external scan and could see yock sac and fetal pole, I'm 5 weeks 6 days..no heartbeat found yet but that could be cause too early, so they booking in to rescan me in 7-10 days to see if heartbeat can be found.
