Hi everyone! I am new to the group. I have been TTC for a few years now and to my surprise I am 4 weeks pregnant.

I went to my Primary Dr today because I have been spotting for 2 1/2 weeks already. When I mean spotting, it does NOT get on my panties. Its only there when I wipe. Sometimes it will get in my pee. But when I wipe its about the size of a quarter or so. Never been heavy.

It comes out brown and sometimes dark bright red. But mainly brown.

I am a little crampy, but it feels like I am bloated and about to start my period.

I went to the Dr and she said we had see what my numbers say. She said we give it 10 days or so and see how my #'s look.

Is this something I should worry about????? I DONT want to google because I KNOW it will say scary stuff.

Someone please help.

THANKS

I spotted a lot when I was pregnant with my son. I was told that some women "just do". My doctor even told me that some women spot through the whole pregnancy... Something about their cervix, idk, she didn't really explain to we'll. I was, however, told that every time you spot, to refrain from sex for 2 weeks.
Also, the cramping is totally normal... So is the bloating. What is important is that you not stress. I know, easier said than done! I watched a LOT of movies!! Good luck, and follow your doctors advise for you ;)

Also, brown blood is old blood. The bright red blood is the scary stuff. It could just be implant bleeding... Your peanut getting settled in ;)

I'm 8 weeks and last week I started to spot too but only when I wipe. It was a light pink, but two days later I went to my doctor for my first check up. First ultra sound I started to bleed two hours later. Brighter red but amount of a dime. She said it was a threathing miscarriage. there is only a 5% chance that it will happen so relax. Its ok. They say its old blood anyways if its brown. As long as your not filling up a pad you are fine. Put your feet up when you have a chance, do nothing. I know its eazier said then done but just try.
