Question

Bleeding 7 days then bfp???

Hi ladies,

We have been TTC now for 5 months. I had very very light spotting on June 24th and 25th, so maybe around 9-12 dpo... not completely sure. So light in fact that I didn't even need to use a liner, I never spot before af... ever.. so I thought that was weird but chalked it up to a weird cycle. On the 26th I took a test and it was negative then I got "af" that same day, minus the cramping or bloating or crabby mood. I have continued to bleed since. it was considerably tapered off, usually I have af for 4 days. I am on day 7 and I am still spotting red. I thought this was weird so I took a test today and immediately saw a line, it was there and not much of a squinter. Doubtful, I took another test and again, the line came up instantly. I did not hold my urine for more than 30 minutes before i took the second test. Could this really be a bfp??? Has anyone had this happen to them and had a healthy pregnancy???

Wow! Congratulations! I was strangely enough thinking of this today and wondering if I could be pregnant. I am 13dpo but I have had a few weird cycles recently and without eating much more I have put on weight around the tummy. I have been exercising for a month but not losing much weight even with diet control and have been wondering what's up. I was just thinking what if I am pregnant but bcoz of the Af/bleeding turning up I haven't tested in the past. But it hasn't been my regular cycles. Anyway I am going to wait to see if Af comes again this month and then I will test. When you say Af came do you mean proper bleeding or just spotting for 7 days? Anyway good luck and baby dust to you!!!

Thank you!! I was proper bleeding for two of the 7 days then it got really light and i have just continued to spot. Usually i will be light the first day, kind of heavy the second, back to medium the third and by the fourth day it'll be light/brown. Both tests are faint but they are visible, like right away, no squinting or nothing. Im not sure whether to make an appointment for tomorrow or keep testing to see if the line gets darker and try to go in on Monday instead. If you feel like youve been a bit off i dont think it would hurt to test! I tested the day before i started bleeding and it was negative. The only reason i tested today is because its been seven days. Anything out of ordinary can sometimes be a sign! GL and baby dust to you as well!! keep me updated if you do decide to test!

Hi, my periods usually last 3-4 days, very heavy on second day and tapering off by third day with only bit of spotting on the 4th day. I am planning to wait till Monday and then test if Af doesn't come. This last month I was using the clear blue digital test and I kept getting high fertility but not peak fertility. But I usually get ovulation pain which I did feel on the 18th of June so I am assuming I ovulated on June 19th. I also had fertile cm around that time and it's usually a pretty good indicator for me. It's been a weird few months. In May, I got Af on 4th may and then again 27th may. But no signs of Af at the moment. If I really did ovulate on the 19th then I am 14dpo today. But so confused!!! Also I had egg white cm again on 12dpo when usually I am pretty dry till Af starts. Have you had any cm? Might be worth going to see the doc as if you are pregnant then you need to get the bleeding investigated just to be on the safe side. Take care and good luck! Will keep u posted!

I am so glad you posted this because the same thing is happening to me except I got a faint positive this past week. I had a long "period" from 6/16-6/22 and then started to spot and have this weird think clear discharge that had this red line down the middle...very strange. I tested very late on 06/30 and got a very faint positive. Pictures in my profile. But when I tested yesterday and today I got negatives. I wonder what is up with our bodies.

@Anastasia999 The spotting i had prior to the bleeding or "af" was mixed with ewcm. This month seems promising for you! when will you test? I tested with a digital this morning and the results were wonky. It said no then the clock started flashing again and it turned to yes+ but with the clock still on the screen. I have read the first response digitals are not very reliable so i took another ic and there was once again a faint positive. i am going to try to get to my doctor on monday

@Noclue93 have you considered going to your doctor? maybe it was a cp? How heavy was the bleeding from your long "period"?

The first day was light and then after that it was more like spotting with old blood. I am unable to go to a doctor, because I am out of town until the end of August:(.

@noclue93 i saw the hpt you posted and it looks promising! although blue dye test can be tricky. i keep getting faint positives on ic. i was thinking it might be a cp but considering i got the first bfp AFTER i started bleeding i just dont know ): i was reading that sometimes it is a twin that was due to the bleeding and we do have twins in my family. im losing hope :/

I wish I could no for sure, because today I have been having lower abdominal cramping and I feel super bloated... I even took some aleve and it didn't even touch the pain.:(

Just an update. I hate when I find a thread encountering a similar experience and no update. It turned out to be a chemical pregnancy and the tests were still picking up hcg
