heavy spotting at 6 weeks? please reassure me

lovemymonkey

hi girls-

last night I had some very heavy spotting (brown bleeding) but no cramping. I'm almost 6 weeks and I have my first u/s tomorrow morning. I called my nurse this morning and left a message but I haven't heard back from her yet.

Please tell me that spotting isn't terrible. :-(  I know that some spotting is normal and I've heard it over and over again but I can't help but be worried that something is wrong.

anyone else experience this and end up with a healthy pregnancy?

I had spotting at 6w5d or so w cramping.  It looked just like my period started and everything was fine, I've had two US since then.

thanks CJB8. :-)

Aw, Rose - I know how devastating it is, even though we logically know that spotting is not uncommon.

I had spotting Tuesday and Wednesday last week and then full out bleeding (albeit very brief) on Thursday, Saturday and Monday.  My U/S on Monday looked great and they found a small SCH.  They think my lovenox was causing it to bleed even more.

I have another U/S tomorrow too and hoping for good things for both of us.

I had heavy spotting with my DD right around 6 weeks as well. I had a bleed where my placenta had attached, but it went away on its own.  All was fine after that.

thanks, sweetie. :-) I thought I'd get my BFP and I would be happy and it would be all smooth sailing from there. Didn't realize how stressful all the waiting and wondering if everything is normal would be. :-(  Good luck tomorrow on your u/s!

Rose-just wanted you to know that I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.  Hope the spotting subsides soon and everything is just fine.

I hope they bring you in today so you can get some reassurance! I've heard lots of success stories on here with brown spotting, so I'm thinking very good thoughts for you. Let us know what your nurse says!

lovemymonkey

thanks girls! Hopefully they will call me back soon. I'd love it if they could see me today rather than tomorrow.

lovemymonkey

well, the nurse just called back and told me what I expected to hear... "it's not unusual for women to see spotting during the first trimester. Just hang in there until tomorrow's u/s and hopefully we will see a viable pregnancy and a heartbeat."

I got more reassurance from you girls. :-)

Here's some more reassurance -

I had spotting until week 9, I think.  Both red and brown.  Everything's going great with the babies!

Bled bright red and heavy from weeks 5 - 7 with Jace.

They never did determine the cause....

Pic of him in my siggy - healthy as can be.

It sucks BAD to spot/bleed, etc.  I swear - anyone who has to deal with IF should automatically get an "easy pregnancy" pass...

Hang in there!

Update us on your u/s tomorrow.

I had that too. Went for an u/s and the baby was fine. I have had some light spotting since then. Man it sucks so bad! No cramping is promising. Stay hopeful. Everything is probably fine.
