Question

5 weeks + 5.. Spotting and cramps!!?

Hello,

In need of some reassurance/advice. I revived my first bfp yesterday at 4 days late, however the lines are quite faint. Since then I've been having cramps and light pink/brown spotting on and off. Is there something wrong? This would be my second pregnancy and it's completely different. My first I had a strong bfp at 9dpo. I know each pregnancy is different however I'm slightly concerned about the spotting. Do I just wait it out? And retest?

Many thanks!!

Hi, I am 4 weeks, 5 days, I have mild cramps off and on but no spotting at all. Also I had a very dark bfp (FRER) and a clear blue test which said 2-3 weeks pregnant when I tested at approx 17 dpo. Might be worth seeing your doc. As far as I am aware mild cramps are perfectly normal but if you are having any bleeding/spotting it is worth getting it checked. You could have ovulated late in which case you might not be as far along as you think and probably the reason for the delayed bfp. Anyway get it checked. Take care!

I'm almost exactly the same as Anastasia. Mild cramping all last week and no spotting after my bfp over a week ago. I still test just to make sure the lines don't faint until I get the reassurance from my dr (had a chemical in Jan). I think the spotting is fine, as long as there isn't any clots. Make an appt with your dr soon.
