Cautiously optimistic...

After a missed miscarriage in November that ended quite painfully I have been wondering how I would feel once we became pregnant again. I just got my BFP this past weekend.... but I had some spotting for a couple of days, which has seemed to have subsided but I can't help but feel nervous. I am going for blood tests this week to see if my HCG levels are increasing as they should. The pregnancy tests are certainly becoming "more" positive as the days go on but I know the spotting isn't a great sign. However I did not spot at all when I had my previous miscarriage - I had no idea what was happening until a 9 week ultrasound. I'm hoping this is our rainbow baby - we are getting married in September and I cannot think of a better wedding gift. I'm staying positive though and would like to send out an abundance of positive thoughts to all of you as well. Hoping for healthy pregnancies all around.

Aw congrats! I really hope this is your rainbow baby!! Same for me, I got a BFP last week after a MC in January so we are defo in the same boat! Have you had your progesterone levels checked? That could be the reason you are spotting and it's easily treatable if detected in time, I'm getting mine done on Froday. Praying this one sticks, so ready to be a Mummy xx

Congratulations on your BFP

Was your spotting around when AF would have been due? If so, it's quite common - I had it in my first pregnancy with DS1, and with this current pregnancy (baby and HB seen at 7+2). The bleeding is called breakthrough bleeding and is usually because of the increased blood flow to the cervix, or hormone changes.
