Last period 24th September tested positive last week very faint lines but definitely there, did 4 separate test or different days.
woke up today 26th October blood when wipe, throughout the day have cramping and more blood when wiping to it now being evening and full on period like bleeding and cramps. I don’t usually get cramps with period but there happening now and very much bleeding like on period. Tested this morning still faint line. Have appointment Wednesday at early pregnancy. So confused I feel as if I’ve made up those positive test in me head and now having usual period but obviously I didn’t. So confused, any advice?

Sounds like a chemical pregnancy x

I’m sorry it may be a chemical pregnancy OP, a lot of people just think their period is late and don’t even realise they have had one. Call your closest early pregnancy unit. Good luck and I hope you’re okay

if you have blood but are pregnant go to the doctor and they will do transvaginal ultrasound.

Hi lovely lady, it sounds like it could be a chemical pregnancy perhaps. No advice, only a big hug. See what happens over the coming days and take a test again in a few days time. Sending you love xx

It could be bleeding which can be normal in early pregnancy (I had this - cramps and bleeding), or it could be the start of a miscarriage. The EPU will be able to give you an accurate guide as to why this is happening.

ive had good and bad news when it comes to this unfortunately.
one was a chemical pregnancy and unfortunately didn’t progress, the other, I bled 2-3 days after my official testing date (fertility treatment) and I’m 33 weeks pregnant. It was thought it was just implantation bleeding.
i know it’s easier said than done but try and not worry but be prepared for both outcomes. I suggest taken someone with you to your appointment.
good luck and I wish you all the best.

When were you due on your period? Unfortunately at under 5 weeks it could well be a chemical pregnancy and sadly even the EPU probably won’t do much. They could scan you but at under 5 weeks they are unlikely to be able to confirm either way at this point. They may well do a blood test to check HCG levels but in my experience a scan this early won’t show anything anyway so they’ll probably want to either check HCG in 48 hours again or rescan in 7-14 days.

It’s really common to have this, until recently we didn’t have early pregnancy tests so we assumed we had a slightly late heavy period, these days we have realised that it is where you conceive but for whatever reason it isn’t viable. Wait a few days, ideally a couple of weeks and test again, if it still indicates pregnancy see a doctor

Honestly I wouldn’t bother. They’ll likely send to A&E who will not do anything. No one can do anything at this point sadly. And at under 5 weeks they are unlikely to be able to see anything on a scan even if they did do one.
