For those who have had spotting/bleeding (including those with losses), at what point did you see a doctor or visit the ER? I had a bit of light pink spotting a little while ago. No cramping, so I'm not really concerned about it at this point, but I'm just trying to get a feel for when others would be concerned. I don't remember having any spotting w/ DS.

If I saw red blood with cramping I was told to call right away. I spotted brown at 6W5D and it continued for a few days, thankfully I had a doctor’s appointment at 7W1D and they were able to confirm I was still pregnant and the baby was measuring right on target. I was put on progesterone suppositories since I have had a previous loss. I see a brown tinge every now and again but I am not sure that is because of the suppositories, or if there is still a little old blood my body is trying to flush out.

I set there for 3 hours, blood work came back with hcg levels of 4363, the Us Tech Didn't see anything so the ruled it out as a threaten abortion. That Monday I went to my Dr's office the did blood work and told me to rest and the dr will give me a call. Wed rules around and the dr called me and told me to rush to his office quick. I was terrified, at the office the dr told me my hcg levels doubled and he performed and US, there I saw my little bean happiest day of my life. Now at 8w3d heard the baby's heartbeat it was music to my ears! Don't stress yourself hun your fine!
On a side note, DS slept through the night (he's been really needy and calling for us in the middle of the night to sit with him). That would have been great, except it allowed me to have a nice LONG dream about having a miscarriage. It was a boy. I was sobbing in my dream. It felt so real--with long wait times in the waiting room and everything. Gah. Needless to say, I peed on a (digital) stick this morning.

This time around I had 2 single spotting episodes, and my doctor didn't want to see me earlier unless it continued but it stopped immediately both times. I've been put on pelvic rest until further notice. Sunday I started spotting again & it lasted all day Sunday & Monday so my doctor wants to see me tomorrow, but now it seems like it's stopped. I'm still going in, just for peace of mind.
Even though your doctor may advise to go to the ER if it's after hours, I recommend just waiting & calling during normal office hours. The ER can't do anything for a miscarriage, you're gonna pay a much higher co-pay & you'll be waiting for hours.
ETA -- sorry for the novel.
It's never easy to see any blood (brown or not), but I guess a lot of women experience bleeding of some sort...
