Welcome to BB Rachel! Firstly, just ask away if you're unsure of any abbreviations etc, or there is a thread in the introduce yourself forum that contains most of the terms we use on BB!
I myself didn't experience bleeding like you're describing, but I have heard of many girls who have continued to get af every month through the first trimester, or even the whole pg! I'm sure some of them will pop up now to reassure you. Usually, you won't get a strong positive on an HPT until 14DPO. Some people, get a + sooner than that, but not many.
Hi Sez,
Thanks for the reply. We are not actively ttc, but did decide not to be 'careful' this month. I have had the most confusing array of symptoms though and tho I did get my period when due on Friday, it has been only 2 days, usually lasts a week, and was 'brighter' than normal, but definitely more than spotting. However, the Fortel and Discover tests were negative. I guess I'm wondering if you have breakthrough bleeding, if that's a sign that a HPT may not show a positive as early as if you did not have breakthrough bleeding. Anyway, I don't know if it's worth getting a blood test purely based on the fact my period was much shorter for the first time.
Cheers ;-)
Rach
