I am spotting a little and I am a WRECK ( TMI)- ETA thank you, I am taking it easy :)

It was a bit yesterday and a bit today dark brown and I am on progesterone suppositories so when it hits the panty liner it looks like dark sand

I called the Dr's office- they told me to relax for 3 hrs and call back as I have no cramping or anything else.

I am 5 weeks with beta over 5000- also had an intravag. sonogram tues night

I am scared but know this can be normal- any feedback is appreciated

I am praying

No advice, but wanted to give you some

Re: I am spotting a little and I am a WRECK ( TMI)

Try to relax - from what I have read, brown blood is old blood. It may have been from the sono. I know when I had my m/c, there was pink/red blood w/craming. Rest & keep in touch with your doctor. They may send you for a sono again to check things. Good luck.

Re: I am spotting a little and I am a WRECK ( TMI)

I bled in the beginning. It is not uncommon but definitely stay in touch with your doctor & try not to worry

Re: I am spotting a little and I am a WRECK ( TMI)

I went through the same thing and I am now 7w6d and everything is fine and measuring normal. I had brown spotting every day from about 4 weeks to about 6.5 weeks and I was a wreck too. I even had 2 instances of red blood which scared the heck out of me. I stayed in contact with the doctor and they did the two HCG tests 48 hours apart to make sure my levels were doubling. They also had me come in for 2 early sonograms to make sure everything was ok and thank God it is.

Spotting can be nromal in early pregnancy so try to relax and definitely stay in close contact with your doctor.

I spotted from implantation to almost 3 months. And it sounds like old blood which is perfectly normal!

Re: I am spotting a little and I am a WRECK ( TMI)

i bled and was also on progesterone. spotting and brown spotting. i went to see the doctor right away and was fine. i was told that it was just "old" blood. but def go see your doctor to confirm anything.

Re: I am spotting a little and I am a WRECK ( TMI)

thanks ladies- I really can't wait to get throught his 1st trimester


You are all making me feel a lot better

Re: I am spotting a little and I am a WRECK ( TMI)

I had brown spotting as well - it was almost a week after my pap and sono and it lasted for like 4-5 days

also sex can make that happen


I was a nervous wreck too!

Re: I am spotting a little and I am a WRECK ( TMI)

You can FM me if you like I had spotting 2 days ago and everything turned out to be fine.

Re: I am spotting a little and I am a WRECK ( TMI)

I pray that everything is fine for you! I know once we get our treatment plan tomorrow and get pregnant again I will be a wreck!

Re: I am spotting a little and I am a WRECK ( TMI)

Many for you Erica. Try to relax!!!

Re: I am spotting a little and I am a WRECK ( TMI)

Definitely keep in touch with your doctor and relax...take good care of yourself.

Re: I am spotting a little and I am a WRECK ( TMI)

The spotting is very normal if its brown. It could be from the u/s. If it turns dark pink or red, then there could be reason to worry....

Re: I am spotting a little and I am a WRECK ( TMI)

I had brown spotting with both pregnancies..def not a need to worry unless it is red!

Re: I am spotting a little and I am a WRECK ( TMI)

I'm 5 weeks and I've been spotting for a week and a half...also brown. My sister had this too and had her baby in October. Dr. said not to worry, its perfectly normal!!

Re: I am spotting a little and I am a WRECK ( TMI)

Thanks again everyone

Re: I am spotting a little and I am a WRECK ( TMI)

i have no advice bc Im new at this PG thing, but I just wanted to give some

Try not to worry, Im sure its fine.

Re: I am spotting a little and I am a WRECK ( TMI)

My sister is about 7 weeks along and she had some spotting, followed by heavy bleeding from the 5-6 week marks.
On Tuesday, she saw the baby's heartbeat and everything is moving along well.
It really could mean nothing

Re: I am spotting a little and I am a WRECK ( TMI)

Re: I am spotting a little and I am a WRECK ( TMI)

The spotting could be from the internal sonogram, and its usually not bad unless its red or you have severe cramping.
