Bleeding but faint positive

[confused6789]

Hi I was just hoping someone might maybe have some advice or similar experience?

Ive been TTC in a very relaxed way and I tested negative the day before my period, had a normal period lasting about 3 days and then last night ( a week after period ended) I felt weird and had a small bit of spotting so I tested and got a faint positive.

Tested again this morning and still a faint positive but the bleeding has got heavier almost like a period again.

I've had a chemical pregnancy a few months ago and Im feeling like this is the same again but I don't understand how I could have even been pregnant after my period when I was definitely negative? Has anyone experienced similar?

I've never in my life bled between periods so I'm very confused. I've also got two children and never experienced implanting bleeding with those pregnancies but surely its more just spotting?

I'm waiting to see if tests get darker or fade away before I go to a doctor.

You are sooo right @carsty & thank you sooo much for your kind words. I will definitely try to put them into practice & also ask for both help & for forgiveness more.

Amen 🙏🏽.

@Skizii Hi there, how are you and how are things going? I am still cramping but a bit milder than before, af is due this weekend.

Hi @carsty

I’m good thanks, trying every day to accept what will be will be lol, but in a much better mindset so I’m grateful for that - this lovely weather is defo helping too.

Nothing to report on the testing side (I’m not sure if I can see anything or not so unless it’s a glaring pink second line I’m not considering it as something to get my hopes up about!)

Either I didn’t ovulate when I thought I did or af is coming soon… 🤷🏽‍♀️

I had cramps on Monday so thought af was coming (although I don’t normally get cramps) but still nothing today apart from an increase in cm so maybe I’m about to ovulate 🙄🤷🏽‍♀️🙄🙈 - I’m just trying to go with the flow & push it all to the back of my mind tbh because I actually have no idea what’s going on or where I am in my cycle.

I’ve started (trying to) take my temperature again too so maybe I can get an idea of what’s going on that way - it’s quite high but a) I do have a cold & b) my baseline is from 3 years ago soooo - did I mention I have no idea what’s going on?! 🤷🏽‍♀️🙈🙄🤪

Is cramping normal for you? How many dpo are you now?

How are you feeling with it all?

@Skizii bless you its frustrating not knowing whats going on with your cycle, i do get pms symptoms such as cramps, headace, sore boobs et, which are also similar to pregnancy symptoms even nausea so i dnt get my hopes hope when i have these symptoms and have ro rely on a missed period and testing...im about 10/11 dpo today, i had white milky discharge and a bit of creamy one for a few days but now ive dried up again or just a bit of cm so i think af is on her way but anything is possible.

@carsty yes anything is possible!! We’re not out until af shows up.

Sending lots of prayers & baby dust your way xx

@carsty you'll never guess what!!!

I got my bfp yesterday 🤗🙏🏽🤗🙏🏽🤗🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽.

I can’t actually believe it! I’m sooo so happy & thankful to God.

Obviously it’s super early days - I reckon I’m 3w+4, but I have decided that my past is my past & my future is completely separate to that & my future is full of faith, hope & positivity 🙏🏽🙏🏽.

I’ll make an appointment with the EPU to hopefully confirm all is well & everything is in the right place, growing & developing as it should 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽.

How are you doing - have you still managed to hold out from testing?

@Skizii CONGRATULATIONS!!!! glory to God all shall be well in Jesus name...I am still cramping and af is due tomorrow or sunday so yes ive managed not to test so far though i feel af is imminent. I will still remain hopeful and if its not this month, but soon I believe the Lord will bless me with a bfp.

@Skizii Please let me know how things go im so happy for you🤗🤗🤗🤗

Oh I 1000000000% believe it too @carsty, your little baby is most definitely enroute & before you know it you’ll be asking me why I didn’t warn you better about the morning sickness 😹😂🤢😹.

Thank you sooo much for your prayers & positive thoughts, it means a lot & it says a lot about you & your character 😊.

Do you know, sooo many of my friends have become pregnant recently & I truly believe that being able to be genuinely over the moon for them, to celebrate for them & with them & to pray with my whole heart for their good, despite my own personal circumstances at the time has really gotten me through a tough time.

And I’m blessed & honoured because I feel that same energy from you. You will get your bfp soon, glory to God in the highest, Hosana 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽.

Also how well have you done not testing!! You’ve done the right thing - I drove myself absolutely bonkers at the beginning of the month testing sooo much 🙈😂🙈

@Skizii Ah bless you and thank you so much also for your positive words and prayers. Are you experiencing a lot of sickness at the moment? Also do you still get cramps?

@carsty I’ve felt nauseous on & off but I think it’s more hormones than morning sickness caused by hcg tbh as it’s not like it felt with my little boy.

I have also felt cramping on & off too, mainly
when I finally have 5mins to sit still I feel it sometimes I think.

I remember having cramps a lot of the first trimester with my boy too.

@carsty any news?? 👀👀👀👀👀👀🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

@Skizii Hi af came so im gearing up for June, hopefully it will be my month!! Hope your managing the sickness ok, what do you take to help?

@carsty yes defo!! As my friend always tells me - that fertile window rolls around again really quick thank God.

Maybe try to track changes to your cervix too - you can start as soon as af stops / gets lighter… I swear by this method.

Not too nauseous thankfully, just minor bouts here & on there.

Going to try EPU tomorrow & see if they’re open to book an appointment hopefully for
next Monday 😬🙏🏽.

Keep me posted!!

Of course I’ll be praying for you guys too xx

hi @Skizii how are you and baby doing? Im currently in the 2ww again hoping for the best🤗

Hi @carsty !!

My mind ran on you the other day & I meant to check my emails to see if I’d missed an update but I think I fell asleep 🙄🙈.

How are you? How is it going? I’m praying lots & lots of baby dust for you guys this month 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽. I’m going to pray this prayer over you now in fact (photo attached - it’s from this page which is quite a good read tbh https://mothermindset.com/prayer-for-successful-implantation-two-week-wait/) xx

Do you know when you ovulated? Did you dtd? 👀😹 Oooh I’m excited for you 😹😂😹

Everything is good over here - I had my scan at 5w+3 & I’m having a baby!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙈🙈

They could see a yolk sac in my uterus, Thank the Lord! 🙏🏽. They were happy with what they saw for my estimated dates (as I didn’t actually have a period to properly date things) but I pleaded with them to have a follow up scan so we could see a heartbeat - which is this Friday 🙏🏽🙏🏽.

Today I’m 6w+5 & the morning sickness (nausea) started a couple of days ago - bang on when it did for my little boy from memory.

Friday was rough but it’s eased up a little since then, but tbh I’m thankful for the feeling if you know what I mean even if I’m struggling to eat & feel like crap 🤢😹😂🥰

I still can’t quite believe it & I have moments where I worry but I’m trying to turn towards the Lord at all times & to walk in faith & love as He commands 🙏🏽🙏🏽.

@Skizii Thank you for your prayers and Congrats again!! Im happy things are going well and can somewhat understand your anxiety, though easier said than done try and keep calm it shall be well with you. It is hard to tell when i ovulated this time as i did not notice much ewcm . We dtd a few times in the cycle but ive been taking pregnacare supplements so dont know if thats doing anything to my cycle or not. My af is due in a few days and i am cramping.

Yes wise words @carsty & thank you for your positive thoughts.

Lol this could be Gods way of taking back control (& all the anxieties around dtd at the right time 🙄) & forcing you to give it all over to him.

I pray that it is His will to open your womb this month, amen 🙏🏽.

Keep me posted @carsty xx

Amen @Skizii will do!

Hi @carsty how is it all going?

hi @Skizii im not bad thank you and how are you and baby doing?

Hi @carsty,

So sorry for the delayed response.

How are you? How’s everything going your side? What is the latest? 🙏🏽🙏🏽

To catch you up with things over here… unfortunately that pregnancy ended in a MMC. There was a heartbeat at my second scan but it was on the low side & then when I went back a week later, no heartbeat on 30th June 😔😢.

It was resolved medically mid August as there was retained product after going the natural route.

We took a break from TTC for a couple of months & by the grace of God I am now pregnant again 🙏🏽.

It has been a bit of a ride so far…

My hpt’s initially were quite faint - I tested from 11dpo & am quite certain about when I ovulated so was worried they should have been darker.

They started to pick up from about 17dpo & are really dark now at 6+1 but obvs with my history I’m a bit anxious.

I had what I believe to be an implantation bleed at 3+5 & have a scan booked for Wednesday.

Today I’ve had some tinted discharge, super light peachy / pink / brown only when I wipe & a heavier brown bit after a bowl movement (sorry tmi).

I don’t really have any symptoms apart from needing to pee a lot but this is normal for me because I drink a lot of water, really erect nipples & random strong nausea on two occasions & a mild almost unnoticeable kind of sickly feeling at other times (but not sure if this is in my head 🙈🤪), mainly when my stomach is empty.

Not really sure what is going on but I am praying for a baby in my uterus with a good strong heartbeat measuring bang on when I go on Wednesday 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I know either way God is good & I am so sooo grateful for Him, His blessings & His love & support.

I am not going to lie, I have really struggled the last couple of days & the discharge today tipped me over the edge a bit 🙈😢 but after a little cry, a talk with my husband & a prayer I feel better, more at peace.

I am hoping for a good night sleep & a good productive day tomorrow xx
