Tricky one. The HPTs pick up on the hcg in the urine but that takes a 2-3 days to appear (as opposed to the blood test which picks it up immediately) so, some people who MC actually can still get an BFP the following day or two. However, that fact that it's darker may be a positive sign. Also, from all I've read, some bleeding in early pregnancy can be quite common as long as it's not heavy / painful. Some women have implantation bleeding and very occasionally, some women report having their "period" while pregnant - and this can be explained by something called decidual bleeding - http://www.primehealthchannel.com/decidual-bleeding-symptoms-causes-and-complications-during-pregnancy.html. Hope it sticks for you!

Hey I'd advise going to the docs it's the only way to know for sure, i bled at 6 weeks preg n everything was fine n there was a heartbeat n then at 12 weeks i bled again it was brown and i had contractions n then turned bright red a couple days later and thats when i mc, I was still testing pos 12 weeks after my mc hpt's got lighter and darker quite a lot through this time aswell, gd luck I hope all goes well xx

Hi, thanku for your messages. I took a clearblue hpt this afternoon and got a strong +ve so I really don't know what's going on!! I'm still bleeding, not as heavy but its red still. I'm going to book a GP appt and see what they say. Tks again x
