Good Morning Ladies!
I just wanted to share my story to see if anyone has experienced something similar.
My DH and I have been TTC. A week before my period was due, I started bleeding. It seemed a bit different than a normal period, but it was heavy enough to need pads and it lasted 6-7 days. I have a very regular 28 day cycle so this was unusual to have my period a full 7 days early. On the day that my period would have normally been due, the bleeding had stopped so I took a hpt. There was a VERY faint positive. I made an appointment with my doc and they did the HCG blood test. First test came back positive but low, at 38. Two days later they took another blood test to see if my levels would double, and they tripled, now up to 118. This was a good sign that I was not actively miscarrying, but no one can guess as to why I bled for a week straight a whole week BEFORE my period was due.. I don't believe implantation bleeding is ever that long or heavy and this was bright red blood most of the time.
I do have a history of ovarian cysts and I was told during my last pregnancy that I have fibroids as well. Could any of these things cause that much bleeding?
I am obviously happy that my HCG is increasing appropriately, but I am still nervous and worried about the unexplained bleeding that I had. Any insight? Thanks so much!
