4 weeks and 5 days pregnant - SPOTTING AND CRAMPING

Hi,

I’m new to this and don’t know where to start. I think I’m 4 weeks coming on 5 weeks pregnant. My period was due 05.03.21. I’ve taken many tests and all have come back positive. Today at 4w 5d I noticed slight blood on the toilet paper after I wiped, maybe because I’ve been more aware of the blood I’ve noticed that I’ve also been cramping too. Do we think this may be the start of a miscarriage? Or is it normal?

I also “spotted” on the 02.03.21 so I can’t see this being implantation bleeding again. 

Any help or advise would be hugely appreciated.

    These photos are the transition of spotting throughout the day. It started light and has ended dark.

    I’m 4 weeks pregnant and yesterday had brown discharge and today light pink similar to yours. Annoying that we can’t do scans at this stage to put our minds at ease ;( keep me updated with how things go for you and good luck!x

    Hey @marleyg it's hard to say... I had a chemical last month, but I bled a lot. The first two days I'd say it was stronger than my regular period. When I called the doctor, she said it can have different reasons; and it doesn't need to be a chemical. She told me to test again the next couple of days to see if the line gets darker or more faint though.

    I’m so sorry to hear. Thank you for the advise though, I think I’ll monitor it over the next few days and test to see whether the lines are just as strong as they were to start with. 

    I think the waiting to “see” is the hardest part of all. I was told to call the early pregnancy unit at the hospital If my symptoms persist, but I think I’m too early for anyone to take any interest just yet.

    Thank you both!

    Yeah, it was the same for me. Too early to see anything. In the end I went to have a scan, because I had (mild) cramps for a few days she wanted to make sure it's not an ectopic pregnancy. When I was there she told me that because of the heavy flow I should be prepared for it to be a chemical. The good news though is that many women get pregnant the month(s) after a chemical.
