i know i should probably just crawl into bed right now. . .

i am just a few days late for my period. since we are ttc i did a pregnancy test right away. it was positive and the one i did the next day was positive also, though the second line was very faint in both instances.
i've felt crampy all along and last night had awful insomnia followed by a day of work.

tonight i have some clear discharge with some pinkinsh streaks of blood in it. is this my period? am i miscarrying? is it just normal spotting?i'm not really crampy, though i feel some strange twinges.

probably too early to tell.

is there anything i can do? besides get into bed which i will do as soon as i complete this post. susun weed says take vitamin e, which i just did.

anyone else w/ similar experience and/or feedback? thanks. . .

Try not to panic. It could just be implantation bleeding.

I have heard Vitamin B to be good too. Just take it easy and think positive thoughts. I truly believe in the power of our minds. Talk to that little spirit and tell them you would love for them to stay with you.

can you tell me more about implantation bleeding? what is the window of time that it usually happens? this didn't happen with my dd so it's all a bit of surprise. i'm trying not to be stressed about it, but i'm finding it hard to go to sleep. and i have a headache. . .

well i'm still not really sure what's going on, but i don't think i'm pregnant any longer.

i started to bleed pretty heavily last night with some severe cramps. and now i'm bleeding like a normal period. in the midst of it all i had my husband run out for more home preg tests. he bought the ept. i used two sticks both of which i thought were invalid at first because not a single line appeared. but after a while both had one very faint single line. i thought at least the one line should be dark. it was all very confusing.

:

the sticks i used a few days ago that tested positive were the answer brand. could it have been false positive? or am i having spontaneous miscarriage?

i really am not sure how to proceed. i hadn't picked out a midwife. i'll call planned parenthood when they are open to see if they have any advice. this is more confusing than anything. and i guess i'm a little scared now that it may happen again if/when we conceive.

Sounds like you had a very early miscarriage :-( I have had a lot of those, and it sucks. Seeing the positive test, getting all excited, and then the dreams get destroyed when the bleeding starts :-( I am sorry that you have to go through this.

Those early miscarriages happen a lot, there are quite some people who don't even realize they were pregnant, because they never tested or weren't in tune with their body. They would just think that their period was a few days late, and maybe heavier than usual But if you test, the test will pick up the hcg from the early pregnancy, so you know for sure that you were pregnant, and things went wrong soon after implantation.

I usually did the test when bleeding started too, and know the feeling when just one line shows up and you know that's it's over. {{{ HUGS }}} again.

There is a great board for Pregnancy and Birth Loss, where I have found a lot of support when this was happening to me.
