What is going on?! Advice please x

Hi,

Please could someone offer some advice?

A week ago I started having spotting 6dpo, never happened to me before (I was mega annoyed thinking AF was 10 days early!!). It stayed as brown spotting, went pink twice when I wiped (sorry tmi) for 4 days. I did a test on the day the spotting started as I had one in the house but obviously 6dpo is way too early to show anything, and I got a bfn.

On the 5th day of spotting it did get a bit heavier and began to resemble AF, however my periods are normally horrendously heavy and last 7-9 days, whereas this stopped after 1.5 days and went back to brown spotting. Also having really bad headaches and at times food tastes stale, but no metallic taste.

I feel like I'm going nuts, getting my hopes up and imagining things! Has anyone ever had this and it turned out to be a bfp? Would you recommend I test again or am I throwing away money?

Thanks so much in advance xxx

I had bleeding before my second and third pregnancies. Second was literally just the odd spot of fresh red blood over a couple of days. Third was half a day of light brown bleeding, light bleeding but enough to need a couple of pad changes. I then continued to have sporadic bleeding throughout the first trimester and into the second with both and it stopped around 16-17 weeks with both.

I got strong positives 6 days after the bleeding with my second, I didn’t test before that as I kept waiting for my period to show and only tested because it didn’t. The positive came up in like 5 seconds and before the control line so probably would of shown before that! Got another very strong positive same as before where it came up before the control line 3 days after bleeding with my third.

Maybe wait until the day your period is due and try then. Best of luck x

Ah thank you so much for your reply!! That's so helpful and reassuring to know, I'm so glad your pregnancies went well despite the bleeding 😊

Will definitely test when AF was originally due...I think that will be Mon/Tues next week so only a few more days. I feel like it's a slim chance but I can't stop thinking what if!

Thanks again for your reply, it's so helpful to hear what other people experienced as I'm really new to this!😊x

No problem at all!! All fingers and toes crossed for you xx
