So worried this morning, woken up to find pinky brown discharge and bad lower back pains 😖 so worried that i might end up having another miscarriage! Took another hpt which is positive, boobs still sore and I’m nauseous-would I still have symptoms if I was losing the baby? Clinic is closed due to bank holiday so can’t even call them for advice 😔

I tested positive at 6dp5dt which was really early but I’m 5weeks and 4 days pregnant now from my OTD, can’t help freaking out as I had a miscarriage last year followed by two chemicals, one after my last round of ivf 😞 hoping it sticks this time and the spotting passes, desperate to make it to scan date on the 29th!

I’m 5weeks +1 today and going through the same boat. I suggest you remain calm and stay positive and hope for the best. Sending you love and light xxx

Thank you and same to you xx

So sorry to hear of your previous loss & sorry to hear you are experiencing bleeding with this pregnancy.

I know it’s very scary. I have had lots of spotting throughout this pregnancy mainly brown but I did have fresh blood with clots at 10 weeks. I also had a previous loss prior to this pregnancy. Happily I can tell you I’m now 34 weeks pregnant.

When i had my bleeding I still had my symptoms. With early miscarriages your symptoms do completely disappear & don’t come back.

The midwife told me not to worry, she said it was only concerning if there was severe abdominal pain followed by heavy bleeding like filling a pad every hour or less. She said lots of women spot ( ie bleeding is seen only when you wipe) most babies are fine. Pain is normally the first sign of a impending miscarriage, that’s what she said.

The fact yours is light , no pain & only brown is very hopeful.

You can always phone 111 & they might get the early pregnancy unit to see you. At this early point they’ll probably be unable to scan you but might be able to measure your HCG levels

. After 6 weeks your GP or clinic can refer you to the early pregnancy unit for a scan. Some areas you can self refer to early pregnancy unit ( my area requires a referral for from a GP)

The GP advised me to rest up like bed rest until it stopped. I never got a explanation for the bleeding except it had nothing to do with my baby.

I know so many ladies who’ve bled & been okay & hope your spotting eases soon & you can get some reassurance soon to put your mind at ease. xxx
