BFP but red bleeding now :( UPDATE - losing hope
Hi
Not been on for a few days cos I wanted to just take a relax about the spotting I was getting before and after my bfp last week. Been using the cbd tests which have gone from Preg 1-2, Preg 2-3 d this morning Preg 3+ which I have obviously been delighted about. This afternoon though I have had some red bleeding (been pink before now). Called epau but they say they can't do anything till next week when I'll be 6 weeks as no heartbeat can be seen before then. Am kicking myself now cos I have just done another test which says Preg 2-3. Am I to assume my pregnancy hormones are decreasing and I'm going to miscarry again, or is it because you're supposed to test with fmu for an accurate conception indicator?
Feeling so rubbish. Thought we'd cracked it and now feeling no hope at all
Just terrible back pains. Will test in am tomo and if I don't get a preg 3+ I suppose i can prepare myself for what is to come
Hope you're all ok xxxx
UPDATE 15.3.10
So upset. More bleeding yesterday. Did a cbd this morning and got a Preg 2-3 message which makes me really think preg hormones are reducing. Been to docs and nothing they can do until scan on Friday. Am dreading it as its going to be in the same room where we have been given bad news in the past about mcs. Body is playing tricks on me as am being so sick. Can't think of anything else at mo. Feeling so down. Knew my instincts were right from the start. Why?

Lots of pg women have spotting and go on to have very healthy baby's - it could well be that your bean is getting nice and snug.
Don't forget the conception indicator is just a rough guide so doesn't really mean anything, and you're right that FMU is much more accurate than an afternoon sample.
Sending you lots of hugs and a bucketful of lukck

So bleeding in preg is common & normal. Try not to worry about it (I know how hard that is though) and as rainbow says use fmu for your next test. Fingers are crossed for you that its a sticky bean just getting comfy xxxx
Keeping everything crossed for you babes

Your posts really mean a lot. Trying to be as positive as possible. Feeling better since I tested this a.m. and got a Preg 3+ sign on a cbd. I can't believe how much ???? I've spent on these hpts. Just a little paranoid as have had multiple mcs before and really don't want to go through that again.
Really want to put my name down officially on the March bfp list but feel it's too soon if that make sene? Having an early scan at hospital on Friday, so hopefully should know more then. Fingers crossed we see a heartbeat.
Hope you're all ok and thanks again for your kind words,

I'm sure everything will be fine but its normal to worry, especially if you've had mcs before. Sending hugs & baby dust xxx
Yep, scan on Friday 19th in the morning. It's going to be a long week! I will update wih any developments in the meantime.
Take care xxxxx
Sending you lots of hugs

I am sat at home feeling sorry for myself. Doc has signed me off work with 'early pregnancy complications' I have spoken to the hospital again too and they tell me there's nothing they can do before Friday. I think they're getting a bit cheesed off with me for being in touch so much, but I really feel like I know my own body better than they do. I'm sure they're just thinking I'm a paranoid wreck and yes, maybe I am to a certain extent, however I'm really sure something isn't right.
I asked my husband to hide all the tests in the house this morning as I know what I'm like - keep testing and it's getting me into a right state. I'm really cross with myself for it and also cross with Clearblue as I feel they are preying on vulnerable women who've maybe had mcs in the past. What an expense for us. Know it's my fault really and it's me who's deciding to use them as they should be used with caution, but feel like they're laughing all the way to the bank at my expense.
Hormones and emotions all over the place as you can tell. Angry one min, and so upset the next. Not sure how I'm going to get through to Friday in one piece. Can't bear this limbo land. Wish they would just see me and tell me it's over, as in my heart I know it is.
Have been reluctant for a long time to post on the March bfp thread as my instinct has told me from the start there has been a problem and I haven't wanted to put a downer on such a positive thread.
When I'm feeling up to it, I will post news of how we got our bfp this month, as we did quite a few things differently.
Hope you're all well and so sorry for the long message xxxxxxxxxxxxx
How are you doing? xxx
Have you had mc before? I suppose at least you know you are able to get pregnant, that's how I tried to get over mine and then I fell preg four months later and that was to be.
Good luck x

Yes, before we conceived lo, we had 2 mcs and 1 chem preg. Firstly we mmc twins (was ill and had some spotting like now) and we found out at a scan (same place we are going to on Fri
2nd was a mc, started bleeding and then pg was over
After some investigations, it was found through some blood tests that I have what is known as 'sticky blood' which means that as of when a heartbeat can be seen, I need to take daily injections to thin my blood to prevent clots and to allow the passing of blood efficiently to the baby. I am to take aspirin too. As all of this was diagnosed before we managed to conceive lo in 2008, we felt all our pg problems had been solved as we went on to have a h&h baby. How wrong could I have been? There are so many other complications thaat can arise I realise now.
YoungMumGoneMad- sorry about your bleeding but hooray for the happy ending. What a traumatic time that must have been for you. It's giving me some hope, although since last night I have been getting worse lower back ache and some sharp stabbing pains in my lower tummy, as well as major AF style cramps. Also sorry for tmi but getting lots of brown stuff whenever I wipe. I'm so scared that I'm just going to start bleeding when I'm by myself today. Not sure if I can handle it. Wish they would just let me at the hospital to confirm its over, get me booked in for a d&c so I can stop worrying about it all and move on.
Hope you're ok xxxxxxxxxxx
