Question

Dark brown spotting

On 5/21 I thought I started my period, it seemed really light and really short. For a week after it "finished" I still had light beige EWCM then it went to nothing. Out of nowhere I wiped after using the loo and I had paper covered in dark dark brown blood. I thought my period was coming back after just ending 6 days ago. For whatever reason I decided to take a HPT, and it came back positive. I thought it was wrong so I took another; positive. Today the bleeding has stopped and only when I wipe will I see some light brown on the paper. This isn't like my miscarriage in Feb., this is different. Any ideas?

I'm not sure if this helps, because it's a little different but when I had an ectopic pregnancy I had brown spotting around the time of my expected period. It lasted the same time as my periods (4 days) and there was nothing after it.
Talk to your doctor and let them test your HCG levels. They can tell you whether or not it's an ectopic pregnancy.

Thanks for the input. With your EP did you have any pain? How long did the brown spotting last?
