Bit of brown bleeding 3 days before test day

[Italy300618]

Hi ladies

I am freaking out...last night I had a very small about of brown blood in some mucus (sorry) after my pessary, and again this morning. I've had nothing all day, and then when I got home from work I went to the toilet and it actually came out in a flow (still brown). I've been to the toilet a couple of times since and now nothing.

I'm so so worried that it means it's not worked. I've had cramps throughout the 2ww, and now I cant tell if they are period pains or not. I feel it's too late for implantation bleeding. I know it can be a manner of different things. AF was due Sunday, so to me it feels like my period wants to come but the progesterone is preventing it?

I was thinking of phoning the clinic tomorrow if it's still the case do you think?

Anyone else had this and went onto have a BFP?

I dont want to test until OTD friday, but I'm so worried I feel physically sick.

Thank you for your support xx

It still could be implantation bleeding. If it’s causing you to worry I would call your clinic. They might be able to put your mind at rest.

Hi

I would give your clinic a call. There’s lots of conflicting information out there and women with different experiences. Best to get some input from your clinic.

Keeping everything crossed for you x

I had this until around 8 weeks I hope the has worked for you!! I had a chemical wig my first bfp but the nurse said to be the progesterone wouldn't stop my bleed, and it didn't xxx

Can’t offer any help sorry but can imagine how much you must be stressing 🤞 for you it’s fine, lots of women do seem to have brown blood and good luck with the wait till Friday xx

Hello,

I had some brown spotting 12 days past my 5dt, which worried me too. I held out and didn’t test until 14 days as per what my clinic had told me. That was on Sunday and we received my first BFP! It was a strong line and I did two different pregnancy tests.

I’ve continued to spot daily, like you said in the discharge that comes out from the pessaries, mine too is brown, but yesterday I had a tiny amount of red (which only happened once). That again worried me. I retested yesterday morning and another strong BFP.

I spoke with my clinic and they said it could be the applicator and pessaries causing irritation. Last night I stopped using the applicator (which wasn’t the easiest, as these pessaries aren’t shaped like others .. just to push up! 🙈 anyway I’ve succeed and done the same today) and noticed the spotting isn’t as much, but it is still there.

I’m fairly confident it is the pessaries but still nervous. I’m going to test again Friday just to check it’s another strong line. We have our scan booked on the 23rd which I’ll be 6 + 6 .. it hasn’t sunk in yet, I think when we have this scan and hopefully see everything is okay, I’ll relax 🤞🏻

Good luck and don’t panic .. not all spotting/blood is a bad sign.

Sending you lots of baby dust x

Hello lovely, do whatever you can to keep positive. I had spotting - from brown and pink to even bright red and every shade in between from 4dp to week 9 it totally messed with my head. Just sharing because I wasn’t aware how common this is in early pregnancy. I’m now 14 weeks and all going ok. Wishing you all the luck in the world. Xxxx

Oh and for me personally, testing daily helped me mentally using FRER tests. Got a positive from 6dp xx

[Italy300618 in reply to Dolly8]

Thank you for your kind reply. The clinic got my test day wrong 🙄 it is today and it was negative 😭💔

Bleeding is heavier and more red now, feel so so sad xx

[Dolly8 in reply to Italy300618]

I’m so sorry sweetheart. Take care of yourself xxxx

Hiya, hope you are doing ok? Can I ask if you called your clinic in the end about this? I’ve just had brown when wiping at 8dp5dt and now in a right flap! I had a little brown discharge at 3 and 4 days past then nothing until today. So hard not to panic! (Sorry for tmi!) Have you managed to hold out till test day tomorrow? Xx

[Italy300618 in reply to Hopeful_wishes]

Hi there, I called the clinic and they couldn't say either way as it can happen in early pregnancy or it can be the start of the withdrawal bleed. Only way to know is to test. I asked them to recheck my test day as I was sure they got it wrong and they had. Test day is today, and it is BFN I feel so broken 😭💔 my bleeding has got heavier and it's now reddish in colour.

Try not to worry too much but I know you wont be able to not worry, so many different experiences and outcomes for different people on here eith regards to spotting and bleeding. Wishing you all the luck in the world for test day xxx

Will try not to worry, thanks for taking the time to reply atm xx
