No advice (wish I did) but sending +++++++ vibes and hugs to you!!

how long did the spotting last? I had spotting on the day of when my af supposed to come but to realize i was actually pregnant and then again exactly a week after that light pink/brown spotting for a day and then they stopped. I assume they are implantation bleeding. call you doc if bleeding gets worse/ accompanied with cramping and pain.

It is super light now...almost like the last last last day of an AF cycle. I am not going to go to the Dr' unless it gets worse, I figure there is nothing they can do about other then tell me I'm going to miscarry or I am not so I am just going to wait it out. I am on progesterone so if this little one is not meant to be than it has nothing to do with my progesterone. Hoping it is just a tear from my little one attaching or growing.

Spotting can be caused by many things, and many women who have spotting in the first trimester still go on to have healthy babies :)

Brown spotting is usually less worrisome than red spotting, since brown means that it's old blood. But I personally still think it would be a good idea to let your doctor know what's going on.

I started getting brown spotting the day after I got a positive pregnancy test, and when I called the dr they tested my hormone levels and found my progesterone was low, so I used progesterone suppositories for the first trimester. Once my hcG levels got high enough, they then did an early ultrasound to rule out problems like ectopic pregnancy. I was only 5 weeks so we only saw the sac, no embryo, but the sac was in the uterus like it should be. An ultrasound the following week confirmed the heartbeat :)

Now it turns out my spotting was due to a subchorionic hematoma, which is a bleed in between the sac and uterus. I've had various amounts of brown spotting, red spotting, even several instances of scary heavy red bleeding. So yeah, I've done a lot of freaking out with this pregnancy! I'm currently on bedrest for a few weeks to hopefully give it a chance to heal. But I'm now 16 weeks and baby still looked great at my last ultrasound 2 weeks ago :)

I don't mean to scare you with the hematoma story, just wanted to give you one cause of spotting that wasn't a miscarriage. (And for that matter, lots of times doctors never determine the cause of spotting!) And many women with hematomas don't end up on bedrest and have pretty normal pregnancies :)

I agree you should call the doctor if you get additional symptoms like camping. Personally, I'd still call just for the spotting, but obviously that's your decision to make.

((hugs!))

I had spotting at five weeks that was light pink. After that, starting around 8 weeks, I had brown and sometimes red spotting. It turned out that my placenta was low (not previa but close) and so the impact of intercourse and exercise caused the bleeding. It went away entirely at about 20 weeks, but it was definitely worrisome. I would agree that if it doesn't get worse, it's probably just some normal pregnancy thing.

try not to worry, i had brown spotting at 5,7 and 9 weeks it was only ever brown blood my dr said it was prob implantation blood makin its way out or some times from all the stretching of the uterus it can expell some blood hope this helps
