Bleeding in early pregnancy. Worrying
Hi I’m in my mid 30s. Just got positive results using Clear blue digital this morning. Then few hours later in the afternoon, I noticed bleeding (enough to soak a panty liner). May I know if it’s uncommon and something that I should be worried about ?

For your information, early pregnancy bleeding could be harmless but also harmful. These are some conditions that might cause your bleeding:

Cervical changes: some women can experience bleeding by the cervical changes during early pregnancy, the bleeding could be after sex as example.
Miscarriage: you might want to check with doctor if your symptoms of pregnancy regress early, expulsion of product of conception or your bleeding doesnt stop for days.
Ectopic pregnancy or pregnancy outside of uterus. You may have very severe lower abdominal pain accompanied by bleeding.
