I took a pregnancy test 5 minutes ago. I am bleeding!?

Question

I went to get a pregnancy test because I felt a little off this morning. I just took it and it is positive. I had my last period at the end of July. Since then, I started bleeding again two days ago. It is light and doesn't have any clots but it is more than what I would consider spotting. Also I am not cramping. Could this be a sign of miscarriage? Is this normal? What could be some causes of the bleeding? Help!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Go see your doc. You are almost certainly pregnant if the test came out positive, but it could be an ectopic pregnancy (requiring immediate treatment so your tube doesn't burst) or you could be in danger of miscarriage and need bedrest or medication to help prevent this. I have been through both of these circumstances. My sister bled in early pregnancy and it turned out to be nothing at all, just her body's reaction to the pregnancy. You never know. Your doctor can do an exam and find out the cause of the bleeding so that you can get appropriate treatment, or in a situation where you don't need treatment she can ease the worries on your mind. Congratulations on your pregnancy, and take good care of yourself!

Answer 2

I am not a doctor or a nurse, but I can tell you that I had two ultra high-risk pregnancies. I spent most of both in the hospital from about 16 weeks gestation to delivery. I bled the entire time with both pregnancies. It was always worrisome, but fine. Sometimes bleeding in the beginning is the implantation of the egg into the uterus and you have to remember that your hormones are all out of wack and confused. Please call your OBGYN doctor, or if you do not have one, go get checked at your local ER. It will ease your mind to know if it is "normal" and then if there is a problem, and I hope not, you will be taken care of medically. As a mommy of two, I wish you the best of luck! :)

Answer 3

those tests arent always accurate. If you took more than one and they all said positive then you should go see your doctor. If you only took one then more than likely your on your period now. If your in no pain, don't worry. If the bleeding doesn't stop in a reasonable amount of time (8 days maybe) then go to your doctor.

Answer 4

It could be a sign of miscarriage, but it very well may not be as well. my mother bled for the first three months of pregnancy and she was fine. I would def. go to the doc. and get checked out. Get a blood test and then tell them what you are going through so they can give you the proper treatment. Good luck and I hope that it works out for you.

Answer 5

Call your doc. It is possible to bleed in eary pregnancy. I did it twice (2 different pregnancies) before the 8 week mark. It is possible for miscarriage, but not necessarily so.

My mom had monthly bleeding the whole time she was pg with me.

Answer 6

Given the time frame it sounds like the bleeding that can occur when the baby implants itself in the uterine wall. This happened with my fourth pregnancy. Scary, but harmless. You may want to go see your doctor though just to make sure!!!

Answer 7

Thats how my pregnancy was.. Some woman have their period through their first 3 months of pregnancy... but to set your mind at ease you should go see a doctor

Answer 8

I had 3 normal periods at the beginning of my second pregnancy. See a doctor and get it checked if I were you.

Answer 9

Yes sorry to say sounds like your miscarrying. I've been through it before and that is how it started. Some people bleed when they are pregnant so maybe everything is okay. I think you should call your doctor and see when you can be seen.

Answer 10

Sometimes it is normal to have a "fake period" in the beginnning of pregnancy, but never chance it. You should call your physician immediately and get checked out.
