Hi Jacquies. No need to apologise for your English! Sorry for the late reply, only I was off last Wednesday, when I would have normally replied. First of all, it was good to read that you had a positive pregnancy test result. By now I would have thought that this has been checked again with another blood test, and hopefully all is still OK. I am sure that they will check you also for any infection, as you have been feeling hot. I wouldn’t worry too much about any brown blood, as this is usually due to “old” blood coming away, so hopefully the bit of bleeding you have had will soon settle down. Obviously you will be anxious at this time, but I really hope that all is settling down and your pregnancy continues satisfactorily. Diane
