I had this and it was implantation bleeding. There is nothing this early on ur midwife or GP will do, or so I was told, bearing in mind it was 8 years ago. I was told to wait a week and take another test. If ur worried phone ur midwife for support xx

I’m 8 weeks today. I had similar 2 days ago. I didn’t use a panty liner but I had similar when wiping. I called my EPU the next morning and they told me this is quite normal in early pregnancy and not to panic unless it’s really red, clotting and you have bad pains.

Sometimes people can heavy bleed and baby is still okay. I am going for a scan on Monday just to reassure me after my spotting on Thursday night. Mine stopped the next morning and all my pregnancy symptoms are still there and I am not to worried but I’m going to get a scan just incase this happens in the future it will put my mind at ease.

Definitely call your EPU if your worried but at this stage I wouldn’t worry to much xxxx 💗

Its badadvice to say crampingmeans everythings ok when thats not always the case.although if you feel nothing thats likely a chemical.but crampingdoesnt just mean pregnancys progressing

I think this comment is inappropriate and rude. I think it’s nice to give people as much hope as possible. I agree I am not a doctor and my diagnose is not always correct but I believe in giving people encouragement and some hope when they are frightened of what might happen to them. People give incorrect statements all the time on this forum it doesn’t make them bad people for giving incorrect advice. I give advice from my perspective and my experiences.

I’ve been having mild cramps and bleeding but it’s really confusing cause it goes from brown then pink then red then back to brown it’s kinda scary this is my first time I’m new to all of this and when it turns red there are small clots the size of skittles I talked to my doctor about it cause obviously clots are a little concerning I go in tomorrow to get blood work done again then Friday for a early ultrasound please pray for me 😣

I would get seen to be on the safe side, always get any bleeding checked. Could be implantation, but there is always the need for that to be confirmed as the cause x

in reply toBlossoming19

Am gonna ring them today as it's got heavy and its turning red

I had this too at about 5 weeks, I’d call the early pregnancy unit and they will scan you when you’re about 6 weeks pregnant. All was ok for me I’m now 13 weeks pregnant, so try not to worry 😁

in reply toGilm87

Thank you am gonna get checked as it has come on a little heavy and its come a bit red now xxx

I have a lot more hope now I’m 5 weeks having the same thing but the only thing that scares me is the skittle size clots but it’s a come and go thing plus the mild cramps I’m really nervous 😟 I just hope everything’s gonna be ok I go in tomorrow to get blood test done then Friday for a early ultrasound my doctor just wants to make sure everything looks good

Hi Colleen, I had light spotting around that time, was really scared it was a miscarriage, but was implantation bleeding which tends to happen around 6 weeks. Brown blood tends not to be old blood, I would contact the early pregnancy unit just so you can be reassured.

Good luck hope all is good.

in reply toGillis

Thank you I will do as it got a bit heavy and its turning red

Hi Colleen, I experienced this. It’s not always bad news, but unfortunately mine ended in a miscarriage about a week ago. It started off brown and then went red. When I called the EPU they told me just to keep holding off and retest again in 2 weeks. It’s normal if it only lasts a few hours or a day. Xxx

in reply toChrissyR85

Hi sorry for your loss....Mine started of yesterday like the picture woke up this morning it's got a little heavy and got red now so am gonna walk down to my hospital and see what they say

Aw Colleen, I do hope it’s nothing to worry about. But your doing the right thing 😘 Cos just phoning there isn’t anything they can do. There should be a little bit more support if you pregnant and bleeding they really should see you, that’s my opinion tho. Going thru that at home was very traumatic and the only medical advice I got was take a test in 2 weeks!! Xxxx ps let us know your ok xx

in reply toChrissyR85

I've had 2 miscarriages in the pass and it never started if with brown blood I just flooded my hole bathroom floor with blood.....so am hoping it ain't nothing to bad but I will keep you all updated and thank you for your messages xxxxx

in reply toChrissyR85

Just to let everyone know I walked into the hospital they said it could be a miscarriage and that I should take another test in 5 days as I have not lost any clots just brownis redish blood thanks for all your support xxxxx

If you’re 6 weeks plus I’d book a private scan, although your early pregnancy unit should be able to offer you this too

I can't get in at the moment

I kept on to the doctors and I finally spoke to a really nice doctor who told me all the stress and waiting wasn’t good for me and she managed to get me booked into the early pregnancy assessment unit. Try calling the early pregnancy assessment unit, see what they say. If they won’t see you get into your doctors again. I know it’s hard but try not to be stressed as that won’t be helping. Has the bleeding stopped, did you say? Xx

in reply toShazza723

Thank you and yes the blood has stopped for about 5days now had no pain or nothing and I've done a few more test and there coming back positive xxx
