Re: False Period?
OMG, that's so scary. Honestly the same thing happened to me at 6/7 weeks between babies #3 and #4. It turned out I had miscarried. The negative pregnancy test is probably not a good sign. The only way to know for sure is to go to the doctor. On a positive note I know of myself and another women that bleed like that around that time and our children from those pregnancies are happy and healthy. For both of us I believe it was called subchronic bleeding... or someting similar to that. Basically blood clots caught between the placenta and the uterus that have become lose. This can potentially cause a lot of bleeding and be very scary when it happens - but also can be manageable. You just never know.
The standard procedure at this point will likely be to take too blood test to measure the HCG in her blood about 48 hours apart. At this point in pregnancy you'll want to see them roughly double.
I wish her the best!!
