Cramps, faint positive and now brown discharge

Hi all- sorry to post but I am so so anxious! I have had two miscarriages (1 missed miscarriage last november) and a chemical pregnancy in feb.
my period is due today but I have had 4-5 days of on and off period like cramping and today i had some brown discharge on the day my period was due. Two days ago i got a realllllly faint positive but I fear that I am having yet another miscarriage ☹️ just looking for some advice to see if anyone had anything similar or if I need to prepare myself for another sad time.

thanks so much

It might not necessarily be a miscarriage. Cramps and the discharge can also be part of pregnancy. I am currently just over 8 weeks pregnant. I had a week of very faint positive pregnancy tests and had pink discharge and lots of cramps. I expected the worst, but thankfully it turned out well. I don’t want to give false hope, as every pregnancy is different, but what you have described doesn’t sound bad.
I would recommend to do another pregnancy test if your last one was 2 days ago. See if the line is darker (although as I said, it took a week for mine to get darker). Wishing you luck ☺️❤️

I really hope it works out for you! After my IVF embryo transfer I had cramping leading up to what would have been my period and I was convinced it hadn't worked. On the Thursday before my period was due around the Saturday I tested faintly positive. Then typically that evening I started having light brown bleeding from the Thursday until the Sunday. But so far so good and I'm 18 weeks pregnant. I've actually had cramping on and off all throughout and apparently it's normal. Keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞

sorry to ask- but what brand of pregnancy tests did you use?
i have had 3 positive clear blue and all other brands like tesco own, clear and simple have been negative so I am so confused! I am now 4 days late so in my head should have really strong positives by now on all tests. Trying to hold onto some hope! X

Sorry I know this isn't asking me but can I check if the lines on the clear blue ones are thin? Not sure if you have a photo to upload? They are notorious for evaporation lines and I've experienced it myself and wasn't pregnant at that point. Hopefully it's not the case for you 🤞

I have had 3 positive tests plus a positive digital. I am having quite bad cramps today with some pinky discharge so think I am miscarrying again. ☹️
feeling so low and thinking maybe it just isn’t meant to be xx

I’m sorry that you are going through this and for your previous losses 💐
I had a mix of positive and negative pregnancy tests a week before it was discovered my pregnancy was ectopic. Would it be worth getting yourself checked out at an EPU or calling 111?
