Tuesday morning I had a positive digital pregnancy test (day period would have been due/cycle day 28 and I’m regular).
Tuesday night I had severe cramping - lower abs/pelvic area. Followed shortly by quite a heavy bleed, bright red, but no spotting before this. Since then I have had a brown smear when I wipe, but the pads have been pretty clear and there’s definitely no flow.
I’m testing hcg every morning and it’s still pretty strong.
The EPU told me to test again in a week. They didn’t offer any other tests at this point.
Has anyone had a similar situation which has resulted in a healthy happy baby?
I also miscarried twins at 8 weeks last July so this really has been hard to cope with!!

It is actually very common to bleed in early pregnancy however, you should always be cautious of course! I know after a miscarriage this is particularly traumatic. My mum bled with me, they told her she’d lost me but she still had symptoms and when they scanned her weeks later I was there. It’s suspected that I was a twin and she lost my twin but they couldn’t say for sure. Fingers crossed that everything is all good 🤞🏼if you’re still testing positive in a week phone them back and insist you want a scan as early as possible x
Thank you 🥰

At 5 weeks they should be able to see something with ultrasound. Have you been given an appointment for a scan?
I’m only 4 weeks and 3 days, they said they’ll call me at 5 weeks to see whether the pregnancy test is still positive. I don’t know if they’ll let me come for a scan at that point
