Positive hpt Saturday period type bleeding now

So my question here is have any of you ladies experienced period type bleeding in early pregnancy around the time your period should have been due? I had a big positive on a hpt Saturday morning and started having period type bleeding after sex Sunday morning. I can not get in to see my doc till next week due to the holiday and I'm in no pain really. I was just wondering how many of you this has happened to and when
I should take another hpt just to see if i pregnant or not... I'm trying very hard to just stay calm but input from others is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

This same exact thing happened to me... BFP on monday and then started spotting on Tuesday.  By Tuesday afternoon the spotting turned to bright red blood and cramping which continued for a day.  Then it faded out to brown spotting and now nothing a week later.  I went in for HCGs since I was bleeding, they initially told me I was miscarrying since the levels were low but they have been increasing and today they told me that maybe it was just super early (it was, I was DPO 11 when the bleeding started).  It is still early for me so I am trying not to get my hopes up, but despite the bleeding I'm still pregnant.  And today they told me that it looks like things are headed in the right direction.  I still have no idea what caused the bleeding.

I know it is super stressful so staying calm is hard, I have been a basket case all week.  Will your Dr. let you come in just for HCG draws and not an appointment?  Good luck to you!  I hope you have a sticky baby in there!

I am at 4w6d and I started with spotting yesterday. By last night it was like a period flow, with cramping. I called my OB today and she scheduled blood tests for today and Friday. The assistant told me that "late period" symptoms can be common and that she had them with hers and came out just fine.

I actually took a test last night because I was so worried and it still came back positive?

Good luck..I hope, for both of us, that the bleeding turns out to be ok!

Same thing happened to me around the same time as all of you guys...I didn't have cramps but I had light bleeding/spotting for 4 days. My periods normally last at least 10 days so I took a pregnancy test to make sure and it was positive!

 

However, I have been a mess since then. First I tried to make an appointment with an ob and told to go directly to the emergency room. They diagnosed me with a "threatened miscarriage/possible ectopic/early pregnancy". Went to an ob the next day and she told me that she was sure I would miscarry due to the low numbers and even after they doubled. Went to a new ob yesterday and waiting on results but still they cannot tell me if everything is okay or not.

 I recommend not going to the er unless you are in pain or bleeding very heavily...because otherwise at this early stage it seems they just worry you with everything telling you all these possibilities when they really can't know anything ....
