I'm a little over 5 weeks and started spotting yesterday, light brown blood. It's been on and off and not a lot. Out of curiosity I took an FRER this morning, expecting to see it darker than 2 days ago, as it's super light. Like barely there. The one on the bottom of my pic.
My new OB doesn't do blood work if you don't have a prior history of miscarriage, so I'm basically left waiting to see what happens. This sucks.

Was it first morning urine? If not that could definitely be the reason. I'm sorry you have to go through this worrying.
From what I was told, spotting is fine, cramping is fine, spotting and cramping could be a problem.

This is essentially what happened with my CP. I am so, so sorry if this is the case.

I really hope not, but this is the same thing that happened with my chemical

@NovBaby1112: I'm crossing everything I have for you!
Mine happened pretty early and I never had anything more than brown spotting for 3 days. I got my period a week or so later, and then ovulated like normal that next month.

@NovBaby1112: Once my tests went to negative, AF came the next day. Again, so sorry.

@Littlebit: @simplyfelicity: good to know! Maybe by this weekend then. So will CD1 be the first day of full bleeding?

@NovBaby1112: I would check with your doctor to confirm based on dates, but my doctor told me to count the first day of red as CD1.
hostess / papaya / 10219 posts
@NovBaby1112: yeah, my 1st day of full flow was day 1 and I ovulated like clockwork 14 days later.

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this
This is essentially what happened with my chemical. I started bleeding the day after a faint frer and the afternoon of a negative digital.
I counted that first day of red bleeding as cd1.
Hugs

@NovBaby1112: Same here. First day of heavy flow (not spotting.) As for the next cycle, I didn't confirm O but AF was 5-6 days late compared to my typical cycle.

@Littlebit: @travellingbee: @mrsjyw: @simplyfelicity: thanks ladies. I hope it happens soon and my cycle doesn't get too screwed up so we can start trying asap.

@NovBaby1112: same thing here. Once mine went negative, it was 24-36 hrs for bright red blood. I'm sorry.

Something similar happened to me as well and did not turn out well. FX you get a different outcome! Sending lots of hugs your way. Hopefully this will resolve soon!

Mine looked like that when I miscarried. But I really hope it turns out better for you.

@NovBaby1112: I don't have any experience with what this means, but thinking of you and hope you get your answers soon.

With my cp, my tests did the same...I started spotting the night I realized my frer was fainter. Full flow a few days later. Hang in there!

Thank you all so much for the support and for sharing your experiences. I just started bleeding, lots of red blood, so it's looking like its started.

@NovBaby1112: I'm sorry. But thankfully it's happening quickly for you.

@NovBaby1112: I am so sorry. A lot of us have been there, so were here for you. I am so sorry you are going through this.

I'm so sorry about your loss. This is exactly how my mc went down as well. Three weeks after I started bleeding, we conceived DD. This one may not have been meant to be but keep in mind the couple of cycles afterward are the most fertile.

I'm so sorry. I've been there and an early loss is still a painful loss. It broke my heart and was tough to get past. I wish you the best in trying again. It took me a couple months to get back to normal cycles but I was pregnant again quickly after that and had a very healthy pregnancy and baby. It's a weird feeling, you'll be more cautious but you'll appreciate every positive appointment and milestone that much more.

Hoping 2015 brings your rainbow baby. So sorry for your loss.
