Implantation bleeding or early miscarriage?!?!

[analley]

I am a mother of one and m/c in May. Four days before my period was due I started spotting and very light bleeding. It was bright red and pink and lasted off and on for about 5 days. I assumed that this was my period, but since I never actually needed a tampon or pad (just a liner) I became suspicious. I took a pregnancy test 12/6 the day after my period was due and there it was, two bright pink lines!! I was completely shocked, but also confused about whether or not I'm actually pregnant. The bleeding lasted awfully long to have been implantation bleeding, but never heavy enough to be AF? I have an apt a week from monday for an ultrasound confirmation, I just don't want to get my hopes up. It has been three days since the bleeding stopped and there has been no reason for me to suspect it will return?

Sorry that I'm just now seeing this, but I'm happy to report that it was a viable pregnancy and my son will be 2 a month from yesterday! So all you worried mothers to be out there, try not to fret over a little light bleeding :) Thanks again stacey!

I would still consider yourself pregnant, it wasnt heavy enough for a miscarriage, even an early miscarriage the bleeding would be as heavy or a little heavier than your period, this to me sounds as if you had a small period like bleed around the time your period was due, due to hormone levels, not high enough to stop a small break through bleed but high enough to keep the pregnancy viable, good luck
