I started bleeding the day after my period was due for 4weeks, although women do bleed ur not supposed to so always get it checked out, if u see ur g.p they should refer u for a scan at your nearest early pregnancy unit...although it maybe too early for them to see anything (u usually see a sac or fheartbeat around 6weeks plus) get the ball rolling all the best x

Yeah it is normal, as long as it stays brown it is classed as old blood so try not to panic.

Yeh its more common than alot of people think and as megzey said as long as its dark...if its fresh and bright red then thts when I wud personally worry. X

Yes it's very common and completely normal. If you lose any bright red fresh blood contact the doc straight away x x

Hi ladies thanx for your support xox 2 days ago I woke up n had a small clot when I went to the toilet then no bleeding till that afternoon. Got rushed to the er n pushed a huge pink fleshy clot had scans n was told i had vanishing twin syndrome :'( n twin #2 is still in my tummy but have to go in on monday for another ultrasound as they cant do a DC due to my hyperactive thyroidism. If they put me to sleep I wouldn't wake up. Were so devasted but everything happens for a reason :( xx
