The spotting from today is just from the ultrasound, basically anything that can irritate the cervix can cause slight bleeding/spotting, but provided its brown it's ok

A Few people in my belly buddies group had the same thing and no problems

keeping my fingers crossed for you, but it sounds good!! When's your next blood test results?

Wow, how keen are you? You must be super excited. 7 brands and didn't you say in your other thread that you used a whole 3 pack? so that's over 10 positive tests altogether. No wonder you have a good feeling about it.

oh wow.... i never realised that. i think at dinner i said to my fiance, hmm maybe it's cause she pushed so hard, but kindof said it to try and make me feel better... the thing is it's not brown

it's red, and i would probably say it's a little more than spotting.. so nervous i can't even speak right properly!!

my blood test is 8am so 9 & a half hours away.. then we find out results 8pm the same night.. to see if my HCG levels are rising...

we are so positive, i slept all day today, i was crazy tired. my boobs are KILLING me, nipples are so sensitive i could scream if someone accidentally brushed passed lol. we took another 2 tests tonight and both were positive again..

it's just this random bleeding/spotting is really making us think negative. one moment we're super super positive, then the next we're really low about it all. really messes around with you. we really had no idea how hard it is.

thank you ladies so much again for all your kind words

will update as soon as we know anything

went for my second blood test this morning.. so we find out in less than 12 hours if my HCG level is rising.

am really scared though.. i'm bleeding a fair bit

no pain.. but still blood, no more brown anymore.

will just have to wait and see.

Hang in there, hopefully everything will be ok.
I had bleeding in first trimester with all 3 of my pregnancies. I thought with DS1 that I'd lost the pregnancy, it was quite heavy and not brown blood. They did an internal u/s and he was still there. Second pregnancy, same thing happened. Third pregnancy, I think it went for 2 weeks. I finally got into an u/s in the second week, as it just wasn't going away and she was ok. Maybe I just got really lucky, three times (?) However, when I had a scan at 16 weeks (b/c my bloods came back with high risk down's), the bowel was bright white (ecogenic) and they said that this was due to either: down's, cystic fibrosis, a virus I'd had or the baby had ingested some blood and this is where it usually sits until they're born and it comes out as meconium. Just telling you this in case you experience something similar on a later u/sound. DD was born fine, so I'm pretty sure she ingested some of the blood.
Fingers crossed for you today, good luck
