Worried

ok i had asked this question yesterday
"This is kinda embarassing but i am worried and my nurse isnt much help. Ok thursday i noticed some brown spotting thick and stringy like. Well Friday i noticed the same thing but it was because i wiped on the inside a little bit to see if anything was there. Well since then i have done that every time i go to the bathroom to keep a record of this weird stuff. I have noticed it 5 times since then. My period was due sunday. This stuff is on the inside and not like leaving my body by itself. It just so stringy and blood streaked. Like a pinkish color and brown at times. This is just so embarssing and got me worried that something is wrong with my body. Since this stuff isnt the normal for me."

I went and bought a test and out came a faint positive. I am now bleeding. Now heavily but i am having to wear a light pad. It is a red color. Sometimes dark and sometimes pinkish red. Any advice? I bleed like this with my last son. Well not as bad but i was like 12 weeks along. Everything was fine there but this is different and has me a worried

I mean if you feel you are okay and you don't mind waiting, then go for it. If I were you I would demand to be seen though. Good luck!!

u can bleed ( slightly less then period like) and  be pregnant... as long as its not followed by really bad cramping everything is fine... if u encounter  really bad cramping and /or pain then u go  see ur dr.. or go to er.good luck and congratulations on your baby.PS: i read somewhere that implantation bleeding can last up to 7 days so it could be very well be that.

No earlier than friday? I guess because of my history (I've had 2 miscarriages) I switched docs so I could be seen sooner and monitored a little more closely. Usually if you are bleeding, they take that into consideration and squeeze you in somewhere.

Are you cramping at all? If not, everything could be okay. Some women bleed and it's not a good sign, others bleed and everything turns out fine.  But I would call your doc ASAP so they can get you in for blood work. They can take your HCG levels and see if it is doubling every 48-72 hours. I wish you the best!!

Although I have never had implantation bleeding, is it possible that this is what it is?  Other ladies on here may know more of what it looks like........If you got a faint +, then I would suggest that you try another test...maybe tomorrow morning right when you wake up....just to see if it's more obvious...then go from there.....Good luck!
