Spotting... but why? Help :-(

hi ladies,

really confused at the moment, just wanted to get your opinions...

got AF on the 25th July completely finished bleeding on the 29th July. fiance and i DTD last night. i went to the loo just then, and i had a small spot of light pink blood on my undies, i wiped and found small circles of light pink blood (along with some CM) left on the toilet paper

anyone know why? is it just random?

Strange... way to early to ovulate let alone implant - if your period was in fact a period.

I get light spotting like that when I've had thrush? Other than that... :think: UTI? Still got period perhaps?

lady_neon!! no idea what's going on. it was indeed a period, very heavy, went through pads like mad (sorry TMI lol) i haven't bled for 2 days so it definitely stopped?

i haven't had thrush for years, and i'm not itchy down there..

my stomach has been sore now that i think about it, and when i woke up i had the biggest cramp underneath my belly button to the right...?

i have been put off food all day (which is unlike me LOL) had subway for lunch, i probably had 4 bites and wrapped it up.

i guess it could be a UTI?? i'm not sure :-/

not sure... :shakehead:

I get the odd spot here or there for a couple of days after AF ends. It could just be the from AF. It could also be that your cervix was irritated if you were a bit rough last night.

It can't hurt to ask your Dr about it though, especially if you've got other symptoms.

OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH....

IS THIS REAL???

fiance and i just went and bought a pack of 3 pregnancy tests... (First Response brand)

ALL 3 are positive.... oh my gosh.....

really??

:hooray::hooray::hooray::hooray:

Congratulations! When do you think you conceived?

You don't have to itch to have thrush (particularly if you catch it early). But I'd give it a few days before worrying about it.

But if you had a UTI you'd know about it, KWIM? Stinging when peeing etc.

I'd just right it off as 'weird', not much else you can do at the moment really!

Oh really??! How weird that you had heavy bleeding!!! Congratulations :D

OH MY GOD! That is awesome news!!!! Congratulations darling!! :confetti:

P.S Got your friend request but there is something going on with BB and I can't accept it? I will try again tomorrow otherwise I might have to have someone take a look!

OMG Congrats again!!! xxxx

I'd also get to a doctor just to check out all that bleeding.

Yeah I was also going to suggest that. Just to be on the safe side ;)

Congrats!

thanks heaps ladies!!!!!!!! it still hasn't sunk in..... OMG!!!

i'm a bit worried at the moment, wondering if this is normal...

after a few hours of taking the pregnancy tests, i started to get this cramp/ache/period pain bottom right of my tummy, it's not really there now, just kind of feel sick, but the main thing i'm worried about is.. when i goto the loo, and i wipe... there's a smallish amount of darkish red/brown blood left on the toilet paper??

we have a doctors appt tonight at 10.15pm....

Xxx hugs

wow just reading through and what a shock!! congrats I hope the doc appointment went well??.
FX for you

It all sounds pretty similar to when I was pg with dd1, except because I was exclusively bf & baby was only 4 1/2 months it took nearly 2wks of bleeding (over a week of spotting after what seemed like af) for me to do a hpt & find out I was utd!! Congrats I hope it sticks & u have a h&h 9mths:)

What did the doctor say?

How did the appointment go love? :crossfingers:

aww you ladies are fantastic.. xx :grouphug:

doctors appointment is tonight @ 10.15pm, so still 12 hours away.. took the day off work today just to relax. we're having dinner with mum tonight.

so i woke up around an hour ago, went to the loo, wiped.. it seems to be just a bit of brown discharge now (really happy it's not blood anymore.. lets hope)

it's just so scary!! i know the first 12 weeks are very important, just don't want to do anything wrong. so you worry about every little thing lol.

thanks heaps for all your support :)

Awww nothing worse than worry! Please try not to worry too much :hug: hopefully it's nothing to be concerned about. Some women have irregular bleeding in early pregnancy :crossfingers: it is just "one of those weird pregnancy things"

Enjoy Dinner with you Mum!

BTW that is a really late Doctor's Appointment! I would be asleep an hour before I was due to go! :redface:

thanks blondie :heartbeat:! so how is your pregnancy coming along? any strange side effects yet? :) do you know when you're due?

i will definitely enjoy dinner! chinese night... home made honey chicken with fried rice.. is that going to be OK to eat? lol

i know it's so late :-( probably won't even get to have a blood test or anything because all the nurses have already gone home for the night. but i just asked for their next available appt! funnily enough i would normally be asleep by that time too haha.

I want honey chicken!! It will be fine :)

I've eaten soft cheese & ham all pregnancy. As long as it's fresh and hygenic I don't worry :)

Mine is going well love :) EDD around 30 March 2013! Seems like ages away!

Your dinner sounds delicious and will be absolutly fine to eat :) The only foods I stay away from are:

Deli products (ham, Salami, soft cheese) HOWEVER I do eat pizza with Ham / Pepperoni etc - I figure it's blasted under a 300 Degree Celcius Oven if you eat it while it's hot it should be all good!)
Buffett Foods (or any foods kept warm for convenience)
Soft Serve Ice cream
Sushi (raw and cooked)
Wine / Beer / Spirits (just common sense really)

Just use your instincts with eating, they will usually serve you well ;)

LOL! You had better set an alam just in case you fall asleep on the couch ;)

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

@lady_neon LOL i bet i will crave all the foods i can't have :( x

:rofl: hahahaha!

Mummy&Daddy2Be: Couldn't PM you so I'll jsut pop it in here...

I know what Nickle wrote was hard to read, I certainly felt sad reading it... :hug: but it was probably a prospect that needed to be mentioned...

Unfortunatly there is nothing you can do at this point in time to change the course of events. What will be, will be :hug: So only worry darling when you have to OK?

I am going to keep everything crossed for you! :crossfingers: Please let me know how you go! xxxx

:heartbeat:

How did you go honey? :pray:
