Spotting... but why? Help :-(

Hi M&D2B,

I considered carefully whether to make this post - your joy at your pg radiates off the screen and I don't want to dampen it!

Please make sure you ask your doctor for a referral for a series of quantitative HCG blood tests. Whilst some bleeding in pg is not uncommon, the heavy bleeding you have described is concerning. If you have experienced a miscarriage only days ago, it's possible that you still have enough HCG in your system to result in a positive pregnancy test (or three). The First response tests are particularly sensitive and pick up only a very small amount of HCG. A series of quantative blood tests over the next week or so will show whether your HCG is rising (indicating a pg) or falling (indicating a loss of pg).

I'm sorry if I have given you cause to worry. It's important after the heavy bleeding you have described to be sure that all is well and the only way to do so prior to 6 weeks or so gestation is with a series of blood tests. I truly have everything crossed that the results are great and you enjoy a happy and healthy pregnancy.

uhh now i'm even more worried! but i understand why you wrote the post, cause you care. thank you for sharing your thoughts.

after we done the first 3 pregnancy tests with the (First Response) we then went back to the chemist and got 2 cheap different brands, and 1 really pricey LCD one. all 6 tests that we done last night were all positive.

but you're right... i'm really scared and puzzled as to why i "assumed" the heavy bleeding was AF, but then pregnant 3 days later... sigh

just trying to relax and stay positive.

@Blondie awesome, thanks for letting me know hun xx
