Need reassurance for early bleeding.

[Beauchamp]

I can't even believe I am really here in this forum and not lurking!!! Today I got four BFPs (Equate, Walgreens EPT, Answer, FR gold digital) My LMP was September 2nd. I have no idea when I O'd because my ovulation microscope is broken. So we BD'd a few days here and there. On the day my period was due it came...or at least I thought it did. I bled lightly for two days (Tues, Wed) and used my Femmecup. I had some discomfort, so I took it out. There was nothing on Thursday, but today (Fri) I have had some dark brown spotting again, and the faintest red/pink when I wipe. I took the HPTs this morning before I started spotting because I realized my "period" was only two days and was so light.

So...is this something to worry about? We are planning to tell our moms this weekend since we will see them in person, but if this is a bad sign then maybe we won't.

Should I be worried? Maybe the menstrual cup irritated something? Or it's the start of a miscarriage? I haven't had any serious cramping, though. Or maybe I already had a little mini miscarriage and that was what the blood was, but my hcg was still high enough to show a +HPT?

Any thoughts? I am scaring myself with what could be. TIA, mamas.

I'm there with you. I've had faint positives all week and today I started bleeding with some very mild cramping. For me it's light bleeding. I'll be talking to my midwife on Monday and we'll see where to go then. I'll probably go for some HCG bloodwork then. I was supposed to get my period on the 28th or 29th.

I know now that I do want a fourth. I'm hoping for this one to stick, but if it doesn't then I'll definitely be trying again.

often impantation bleeding happens when you'd expect your next period...usually lighter and much shorter...I personally wouldn't worry yet

Hi. I wish I had some good advice, but I'm on here for some reassurance as well. I haven't set up my signature yet, but we've been trying for 3 years (DS 13, 3 miscarriages) with my ob and this was my first month with the RE. I got a BFP Thur and confirmed + blood test yesterday (beta was 35.2 which I thought was low, but the dr thought was perfect for this early). LMP was 9/8 and today is when I should start my period. This morning I was happy because my HPT went + almost immed. then I started to spot. It's also brown/pink with period like cramps. At first it was only when I wipe, but now it's getting heavier. I'm really praying that all this is "normal".

Good luck to you girls!
