Hi all.

I am new to this site but really would like to connect with people that may have had a similar experience to mine.

So I found out 9 days ago that I’m pregnant, I began spotting the day I found out and totally just thought it was my period coming. I only took a test just to see as I have been ttc for 2 years now. I had 2 miscarriages at the end of last year, one at just over 4 weeks and one at 5 weeks ish.

This pregnancy I had bleeding/spotting for 7 days. It varied between brown, red and pink blood, sometimes only on wiping, sometimes I would have some on a pad. It never got heavy as such not even close to a period, there were no clots and I had no pain/cramping whatsoever. The doctors kept telling me it can be normal and try not to worry. The bleeding suddenlystopped on Tuesday and I have had nothing since. the doctor has just told me to take a test in 2 weeks to see if it positive. I’m going out of my mind, 2 weeks seems like forever, I just want to know whether my baby is still there or not :( my precious 2 miscarriages were very heavy bleeding with a lot of tissue/clots and bad cramping so I’m completely confused.

I have no pregnancy symptoms as such but haven’t from the start so it’s not like I’ve had them and they’ve gone away sort of thing… I’ve only noticed I’ve been tired and maybe weeing a bit more but that might just be in my head! Has anyone else had a similar experience and it turned out to be ok? Or has anyone else had a miscarriage with only light bleeding and no pain? I’m so confused…

Try a Clearblue weeks indicator, ask your EPU for bloods, have a private scan next week?

When I started bleeding in early pregnancy I rang 111 who sent me to hospital where they did a blood test. They did another test two days later to find out if the pregnancy hormones were going up or going down. You can also ask for an 8 week scan. I got one. Good luck.

@Jenpy thank you for your reply. I asked for bloods but was told that they aren’t always helpful and may just cause me to worry more so they didn’t do them in the end. I will be sorting a scan if my test is still positive next weekend but just wanted to see what everyone thought to this situation and if anyone has had a similar experience xx

@Beachsidesunset I’ve heard the clue blue weeks indicators aren’t accurate at all & I will be getting a scan sorted once I’m further along but mainly just posted this thread to see if anyone has had a similar experience x
