So just as I was rejoicing over a positive pregnancy test and today a high hcg test I just wiped and it’s pale pink. Attaching a photo just because I’m hoping for someone to say I had that too don’t worry. God my body loves to bloody bleed 🩸

Way to cause anxiety from the get go 🥲

Congratulations on your pregnancy. If it is any consolation and offering hope here - I have bled with all 3 of my live children! Lots of spotting and the girls I've bled very heavily with clots! Every pregnancy I bled worse and after 1 late loss and 3 miscarriages my fear was sky high! The difference with my successful pregnancies vs miscarriage is I never had severe abdominal pain - any midwife will say that is the "normal" first sign of an impending miscarriage. And lots of women will spot in early pregnancy and most will have a healthy baby at the end of it. It's hard in the early weeks as you can't scan - but I would be hopeful hood beta is a great start. Each day is a step closer to your scan! I had 2 early ones with my last baby as I was under a miscarriage specialist and loads of others due to spotting. I have full sympathy it is rubbish to spot in pregnancy coz you always fear the wurst ( my successful pregnancies they never established a cause just some women lucky us get?!) wishing you the best with your pregnancy Xx

thank you so so much. I appreciate it. I have had 7 miscarriages so really hate the fight of blood. I have a dullness down there but no major cramping. Day 8 after embryo transfer. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I had bad cramps, fresh blood, at some point was dripping in the toilet (sorry TMI) and my pregnancy kept going until the final line. I was "spotting" since day 5pt for over 2 weeks almost daily with few exceptions but my twins were determined to grow and meet the world. Please don't lose your hopes yet ♥️ is hard I know, find your own motivation and stay positive 💞😍 much love ...

thank you so much for this. Keeps me going. I’m a master at blood. I’ve now been pregnant 10 times in 8 years and all have had blood including two that made it. It never ceases to freak me out and cause so much anxiety as most led to miscarriage. Thank you for support

It's probably just your cervix being sensitive. Are they going to run another HCG?

I had pink and brown spotting heavier than this and have twins from that transfer. I know bleeding is scary but it is very common.

with my youngest I bled from pretty much week I did my beta until 19 weeks. First two weeks were bright red blood sorry tmi but was pouring out of me. Turned to brown after a few weeks. Was an SCH! Please don’t panic I know it must be hard having had miscarriages and seeing blood but you are pregnant! Keep positive 💖

Just to say I had fresh blood with all my successes pregnancies and even small blood clots with my daughters. With me they never found a cause for the bleeding I had in my successful pregnancies except it wasn't anything to do with the baby. Some women just do bleed a bit in the first trimester. So happy to hear it's slowed down and your BETA numbers are progressing well. It is scary to see any blood especially after miscarriages but hoping this your rainbow baby Xx
