Positive stories, late HPT and spotting

[TonyaW]

I was spotting for about 5 days. On the 5th day at 14 days past ovulation, which was yesterday, I got a faint positive pregnancy test. My temps on my chart are up and down and hasn't gone triphasic as it usually does once a pregnancy is confirmed.

Anyone have a similar experience that resulted in a viable pregnancy? I am worried, because this is exactly the same thing that happened to me last time that resulted in a miscarriage.

Could the spotting be implantation, or irritated cervix from sex?

My cousin, who just had a healthy baby a few weeks ago, spotted through her entire first trimester.

What color is the spotting and how heavy is it?

I got my first positive hpt at 14dpo (pretty faint, DH was not convinced it was positive) and had some spotting a day or two after, which I'm pretty sure was caused by intercourse. I took an hpt every day for another week after just to make sure they were getting darker.

I'm 11wks today and saw the heartbeat on an ultrasound at 9w4d. I have had some more spotting after intercourse and some at other times, but that all started after 9w and may be from a small subchorionic hemorrhage that was seen on my ultrasound.
