I will be 5 weeks on Sunday.

Had so much spotting so far and I'm worried that for about 17dpo my lines aren't really very prominent (testing daily - POAS addict) (photo attached!)

At 7Dpo I had a huge bleed lots of red blood and assumed it was my period. I've since gone on to have my BFP but two lots of light pinkish spotting when I wipe in the last week.

I'm still breastfeeding so that could potentially play a part.

I'm just so worried something isn't right and the doctors just don't seem interested at all!

Any advice welcome 🙏🏼

Your lines seem to be getting darker - the pic is upside down, I'm assuming the ones at the top are the newer tests.

With the bleeding and continued spotting you might want to watch out for signs of an ectopic.

It would also be much better to stop testing daily. If you have to test, do it every other day.

Thanks @Flederjo yes they are definitely getting darker (most recent at the top you're right).

I have no tests left so will just stop testing now....

It's so hard to relax and just think positive after the bleeding.

Definitely do another test in a few days though, you want to know one way or the other!

I had a lot of spotting for 2 weeks at the start of this pregnancy, I’m currently 20weeks today.
I was told they won’t do any scans or tests until I was 6 weeks, which they did.. so take a trip to a&e or contact your local EPAU directly when you’re close to 6 weeks. Hopefully they’ll be able to put your mind at rest

Fingers crossed for you

Hi @happypaps just saw your post as I am also dealing with the same situation I am close to 6 weeks now but spotting from last two days, it’s kind of dark brown discharge when I am wiping. Not sure if it’s normal.
