Progression & Spotting *UPDATE*

[babyleaf]

Hi ladies! Could do with some advice/reassurance if you have any.

I got my first ever BFP on 11dpo. I’ve been taking ICs every day and frer every other day to check progression. Yesterday at 14dpo I woke up with some light brown spotting which continued through the day (never enough for a panty liner, only when I wipe and not every time). I’ve had a little more this morning, although it has a pinky tinged to it now, so obviously I am worried. Please let me know what you think of my progression and if you’ve had similar spotting experiences. I guess I should also say that I am a spotter with my periods - usually 5-7 days before I spot brown.

The bottom photo is comparing 13 & 15 dpo with both photos taken on the day the tests were taken.

Sometimes these things happen hun, as long as your tests are getting darker the pregnancy is progressing. I'm usually an early bleeder in pregnancy, my last 2 babies I had bleeding at 6 and 7 weeks and this pregnancy literally had a bleed last night at 13+4! If your worried though go and get checked but along as the tests are looking good, which they sure are, you'll be fine

Thanks so much for your reassurance Its gone back to light brown now, hoping its just breakthrough bleeding as now is when my period would be due. Will keep testing for a bit longer or until it stops

Just chiming in to agree with the other ladies here, your progression looks great! As for spotting, many women spot and go on to have healthy pregnancies congratulations!

Thanks so much, hopefully it's just one of those things. Just wish it would stop so I could put my mind at ease!

Ah poor hubby haha! I guess so, still feels weird/not real saying I'm pregnant! Happy second trimestering(?) when the time comes! I called my early pregnancy unit today and they've booked me in for a scan at 6 weeks to check on everything but told me to just sit tight for now. This is going to be the slowest 2 weeks of my life I'm sure!

I was exactly the same hun ended up in the epau at 4 weeks due to bad one sided pain, and thought possibly ectopic, they book me on for a scan at 6+6 and that dragged like crazy!!! All the best hun x

I had spotting just like that with my first three pregnancies. Can't speak for progression, agree with PP that it looks good. Spotting happens in about 30% of pregnancies, so it's rather common.

Thanks so much ladies for all your reassurance. i think *touch wood* that the spotting is slowing down now.

Here's my progression with today's frer - I think the test line is now slightly darker than the control but would love to hear what you think. I've been taking ICs everyday but the past 3 days they haven't really budged and this morning's even looked a little lighter, so I might stop with those now.

 

[Angelique76]

I agree, test line is darker! Awesome! Happy&Healthy 9 months to you

 

[Sophie1234]

Your lines look amazing! Congratulations! X

 

[babyleaf]

Thanks ladies! I’m now 19 dpo and thought I would share a new progression photo. As you can see I now have a dye stealer however my ICs stopped progressing after 15dpo so I’d say they’re only good for progression up to a point! My spotting has also now completely stopped so feeling good

 

[HLx]

Congratulations once again hun! Happy and healthy 9 months to you x
