    Spotting /bleeding in Early pregnancy Question. Your thoughts

    HI all,

    Well you would think I would know by now, especially after all the losses I have had, as well as all the spotting/bleeding I have had in my last 3 pgcy's which resulted in my DD"s.

    Now I am 4wks today, Bt yesterday at 11dpo was 28, will be going for another BT tomorrow to check that the levels are doing what they are supposed to.

    Well yesterday I started having some spotting, very pale pink, only happened about 3 times on the pad and when I wiped. Sorry for the TMI. I didnt have naymore spotting since about 8pm last night, had this horriblew bacvk pain yesterday, but that has eased considering hopw it was yesterday. Also the pain in the back started in the lower back but then ended up in the upper part of my back. Which currently is where I am feeling a nagging niggly pain atm, not the lower back.

    Well the spotting started back up again today at around 10am was pale pink then stopped. After returning from the DR's and only just letting him know that the spotting only happened that morning today, I went and checked and there was some more darker spotting on the pad. Pale pink when wiped.

    I have checked since then and nothing not even when I wipe.

    I should mention I am also not due for AF until Sunday.

    Has anyone experienced this early on and not miscarry. I m/c a couple of times at 5weeks before Olivia, but the spotting started and went into bleeding that same day. Not this on / off business.

    With my later m/c's spotting but didnt stop before leading into a full bleed.

    With my 3 dd's, I had spotting but with my first 2 DD's it was brown, cant remember for the life of me when it started.
    With Olivia, spotting never started until 7wks, they were all due to a sub chorionic haemotoma.

    I am trying not to get my hopes up with this pgcy, and trying like mad not to be negative at the same time.

    Your thoughts of your experiences or even what you think might be happening would be helpful. ATM all I am thinking is Here we go again, cant I just have a stress free pgcy.

    I should also mention I take aspirin that thins the blood to stop clotting as I am ANA positive.

    Thanks in advance. HUgs

    Bleeding during pregnancy is very stressful
    If it's different to your miscarriages, then perhaps that's good news? I don't think there's much you can do really till your blood test

    I should add, I do know of people who've had a LOT of bleeding in early pregnancy and gone on to birth healthy babies.

    Marcellus - I am wondering if it has anything to do with the baby aspirin I have to take. I am really hoping that is all it is.
    As I mentioned I have spotted in early pgcy and carried to term, but not this early, than what I can remember, only remember last pgcy. Last pgcy spotted 7wks, pink and brown but then once the clot had drained itself from my body it was very dark red and runny. As far as I remember with the previous two it was only brown, just Olivia was pink etc.

    Thankyou for responding. hugs

    I don't know, maybe. I was on aspirin when pregnant DS and never bled. Everyone's different of course. I guess it's a question to ask your doctor if the bleeding continues

    it could also be a breakthrough bleed considering that AF is due around this time? i had this with DD...was on and off for a few days.

    hope you are holding up ok xx
