Feels like period after BFP

So, we unexpectedly found out I was pregnant on Tuesday, my period was due on the Sunday or Monday previous. I was devastated, I have three kids already, we’re all kind settled etc. but then after the tears me and my husband were getting on board and actually though this is a blessing. Fast forward to Thursday evening and I’m bleeding a little, looked pinkish so though probably just implantation bleeding. But I am now still bleeding and my dr thinks it’s probably implantation failure and I am probably miscarrying.

Now I have cramping but I feel like the bleeding is slowing down a little, I have a pad on with some spots and I only bleed when I go to the toilet. But it is red now not pink or brown.

My question is I suppose, has anyone else had this and still ended up being pregnant?
I was so distraught to find out I was pregnant but now I feel devastated at the fact I might be losing it. I’ve just spent the whole day searching for something to make me feel better.

I'm not sure if you are miscarrying but it doesn't sound hopeful. I have had 3 losses and they all started with spotting and cramping. I hope this isn't the case for you. Sending love.

I don’t want to give false hope but I wouldn’t assume this is 100% a miscarry. I’d acknowledge that this may be the outcome, but I think your gp was incredibly hasty telling you it’s a failed implantation. I’ve had bleeding in all 3 pregnancies and only 1 has ended in loss. All bleeding at the beginning and feeling like I’m about to come on my period.

Bleeding and period cramps are unfortunately both implantation and early pregnancy symptoms, and miscarriage.

I would personally request a 48 hour blood test off my GP to see if your hcg rises or wait it out a week; re take a test and see if the line is darker or gone.

Yes, I’ve read quite a few posts now that say that but I suppose it’s hard to gauge as a little blood for one person could be a lot to some.

how long were you bleeding for? I feel like I’m coming off now so I’ve only been properly bleeding for about a day. I’ve not completely soaked a pad either.

I bled for three days, quite a lot so assumed I had had a miscarriage. DD arrived eight months later. It's not always bad news.

My loss was continuous bleeding, I’ve had a big bleed with my DS I thought I’d lost him. But all ok and in this pregnancy spotting for about 5 days

Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to reply!! For now I think I just have to wait and then do another test in a few weeks time. I’m staying hopeful but preparing for the worse.

Hi guys, sadly I’ve just done a pregnancy test and it was very clearly negative so fair to say I’ve miscarried. Thanks for all the info.

I'm so sorry, I hope you aren't in too much pain physically and you and your husband can find peace at this time. Xx
