9 weeks pregnant and having period-like bleeding

I am 9 weeks and 3 days pregnant. But all my HPT tests taken at 5 weeks and 7 weeks have both been negative. However, I have been experiencing pregnancy symptoms, such as (bloating, blue vein in breasts, twinges in abdomen, slight nausea, dizziness, and increased hunger). YET, I have had what would be period-like bleeding at the expected time of my normal period (4 weeks, and 8 weeks). The period-like bleeding is very similiar to my normal period (light on day 1, heavy to medium on days 2 & 3, missing on day 4, and spotting on day 5).  I just feel pregnant and it is hard to explain. I have been reading all these posts about women who have had period-like bleeding in early pregnancy and even throughout their pregnancy. I have even read posts here about women experiencing similiar situations, but they never ever come back to post their results on whether or not they were pregnant. I would like to hear from those women who experienced this period-like bleeding and if so, what kind of bleeding was it (heavy, red, and when, like during your expected period or did it just happen whenever)? Please, I'd like to hear your stories.
