Positive stories of bleeding in the early stages please

[LysnDan]

Hugs sweet. I'm going through it at the moment I'm also just over 5 weeks on & off spotting and bleeding bright red spotting for a week and a bit.

I do have a success story tho. My DD. I bled weeks 4,6,9 and 15 with her and she's a happy little 17 month old now! Hang in there sweet. The fact it hasn't hit the pad is a reassuring sign.

Please please don't keep doing hpts you will freak yourself out if the line is a shade lighter (I did a few days ago) but my blood test hcg numbers are going up as they should. If you are worried and need reassurance try ask your gp for quantitative blood hcg testing.

You only really have to worry if your changing pads every hour or so or have lots of clots and pain. Well at least that's what the hospital told me last night.

Sorry you are going through this I had spotting that turned into light bleeding at 6 weeks. It was a subchronic bleed or something like that and was nothing to worry about. The spotting continued for another week or so. I am now almost 30 weeks

I bled exactly as you're describing with my first pregnancy. All was well. Fingers crossed for you.

thankyou for the positive stories..
i dont really have any pain as such, just the normal af type cramps, i do have a weird heavy feeling in my belly and an on again off again sharp pain on my left side and i do have back pain, i had it around 3-4 weeks as well.

my hubby is trying to be really positive and said he isnt worried just yet. so its some comfort, but as i said to him, im the one who has to see it everytime i pee!
i dont have that feeling that its going to end badly like i did with my last mc

Hugs to you hun, it's very stressful. With DS3 I bled almost constantly from about 5 weeks to approx 9-10 weeks. Not necessarily a lot, but it was there on liners and when I wiped. In my case, I had progesterone issues (which I hadn't had with my first two pregnancies). I didn't have any pain, but there were instances where I had gushes of red blood ... it nearly did my head in. I had my hcg and progesterone levels done approx every 4 days for several weeks - it was how we knew without doubt that progesterone was the issue (I ended up with progesterone pessaries).
Good luck hun, I'll be thinking of you xx
