Pregnancy Info HOME

Well, as from my previous post, my normally regular like clockwork AF was late by 6-7days, then I had a brownish discharge followed by a brigh red light flow which olny lasted a few hours. I continued to have the brownish dishcarge for a couple days after but only when I wiped. I've also been having symptoms of pregnancy but negative HPT's. So confused as to what is happening with me. I've read a lot about Implantation Bleeding but I don't think thats what I had as I had symptoms from before the bleed and discharge. But, thanx to a really nice lady on this forum, she put me in the direction of Decidual Bleeding and it's amazing how it describes just what I'm going through. From what I've read it can even affect HPT's. 'Decidual bleeding is a term for a partial shedding of the uterine lining during the first few months of pregnancy. This bleeding can be similar to a menstrual period and can occasionally prevent women from realizing that they are pregnant until other signs develop. Although decidual bleeding is usually harmless, most experts recommend that pregnant women inform their doctors about any form or amount of va___al bleeding as it can be a sign of more serious conditions. During early pregnancy, quick hormonal shifts in the body can cause ovulation or the thickening of the uterine lining despite the presence of a fertilized egg. Around the time of a women’s normal menstrual period, the lining can shed, resulting in bleeding. For some women, the amount of blood released can resemble an normal period. For this reason, some experts recommend that anyone with other pregnancy signs, such as regular nausea, increased br___t size or tenderness, or sudden weight gain, take a pregnancy test even if menstrual cycles appear normal. If an over the counter test proves positive despite the presence of bleeding, consider consulting a doctor for a more accurate confirmation of pregnancy. ' I just wanted to post this as it may help some women in determining what they're going through, especially if doctors aren't paying too much attention to them. Any feedback would be great ladies :)
