I missed my bcp on the 23 and 24th of august, me and my boyfriend also had sex on the 24. On the 25th I started seeing a pinkish color on the toliet paper when I went to the bathroom. The "spotting" continued until that monday and then it got a little bit more heavier ( not to much though) I went to the doctor sept 2 and they did a urine test which came back negative, she also did an exam on me and told me she thought it was my regular period, just earlier. She also did a blood test on me and the blood test came back positive. So I know that I am pregnate now, I just am scared b/c the bleeding hasnt stopped, its not like my period and its not heavy.. Its just I have now been bleeding of some form for 10 days. I'm not having any severe cramping and I havent seen any noticable clots, I just really want to know what is going on b/c I dont want it be a miscarrige or anything like that. If anyone can tell me anything or help me I would be so thankful.

Chk With Doc, Safer.

Why didn't u check with ur doc, since u were there to check for pregnancy and it came out positive. Becoz every woman's body is different and spotting for some may be 1 reason while the others another reason. Hope this helps. What stage r u in for pregnancy?? Which week?

It could be ur left over period coming out or u had implantation bleeding. The best is to check with ur doc. Since u r pregnant now. Get a gynae soon and take pre-natal care.

I actually had to call back later that day for my blood test results and thats when she told me that I was pregnante. From what she said this could be my last period and as long as im not cramping and seeing clots. As of right now im not doing either of those, im just still bleeding. I feel like I have been bleeding for so long that im just scared of why it hasnt stopped or I would like to know when it will stop.

Dun Worry!

As long as u are not bleeding heavy or seeing clots, u r not miscarrying. Spots and slight bleeding could be ur left over dirty blood in the body which is draining out. So stay cool and relax.

When u r bleeding whether light or heavy, bed rest is a must. Dun walk much! Dun exert or do heavy exercises or carry heavy things. Doing strenuous work can also cause slight bleeding.

Take care n rest....

I'm going to try and not worry, but it still bothers me b/c even today I have not stopped bleeding and I took a home pregnancy test this morning and it came back negative.. I'm suppose to start on this upcoming tuesday, so I don't know if it is just to early and thats why it isnt picking up. I'm still having the weird fillings in my cheast, back, and ribcage. Which my friend experienced during her pregnancy. I dont want to sound completely stupid but what would be an example of how heavy or clotty it shouldn't be. This is my 1st pregnancy, so I am kinda clueless to all of this.
