Okay. Most of you have probably read my threads before. 7 days late on a regular 27-28 day cycle, started AF on Friday but it was not really a typical period.

Well, I was still feeling some symptoms today so I though I would just take a hpt to be sure. All my hpt's I took before AF came came out negative, but I thought, what the heck. I have friends coming in from out of town on Thursday, we'll probably have cocktails, plus I still feel some symptoms that if they were PMS should be gone by now. Anyway, took the test and got a faint positive.

So now what do I do? MY AF is usually heavy first 3 days then slowly tapers off on days 4 and 5. However, this month, semi-heavy on day 1 (red blood), then practically non-existant on days 2 and 3 then very spotty on days 4 and 5 (day 5 color was brown). Today even, day 6, comes with some brown tinge when I wipe.

Could this be a m/c (no strong cramps)? Could I have a false positive test? If I am pg, do you think the baby is okay? I stopped thinking I was pg so I wasn't eating the best and I did have a couple of drinks. Could AF cause a false positive?

Please help!

I'm sorry to hear your troubles Susan. I don't really know what to tell you, but call your dr and explain the situation to them and see what they tell you. Let me know what you find out.

Okay girls, here's what's happening. I called my OB/GYN and talk to the nurse. I told her what was happening and she said that I was either having an early m/c, or I'm bleeding through a viable pregnancy. So, she wanted me to go and get a BETA HcG blood test done. I did that this morning around 10:30 a.m. I'm suppose to get the results later this afternoon.

This is such an emotional roller coaster.

I'll keep you posted!
