STILL spotting and scared :(

gator2014

Is anyone else having major spotting issues? I am 6 weeks and have spotted the majority of my pregnancy. I spotted at week 3-4 for 9 days. It stopped for almost a week but it came back last Friday. I had a stomach bug last week, so my doctor said it could be from that..? It's always brown, which makes me feel better (I hear bright red is worse?) but I am still terrified. We have our first US Friday to make sure everything is okay. My beta numbers were tested at 4 weeks and they doubled like they should. My doctor didnt seem to worry much about the spotting since it isn't heavy. But I can't stop worrying!

I'm also a regular spotter. I spot every month the week before my period.

Does anyone have a positive outcome that involved spotting this much? I am feeling a little down. My mom had 2 miscarriages, so that also keeps running through my mind.

Maybe you're just a spotty kind of lady? So long as its brown I would try my hardest to not worry.

Your mom also had YOU! Keep your chin up, I know it's hard. I have been spotting since Sunday... Some cramping too. I have an appt today at 3:30. I am terrified, depressed, angry, confused, you name it!! Fx for both of us!

Thanks ladies. It means a lot to hear encouragement! I'm hoping that I am just a "spotty" person.

@C0602t, good luck to you. Let me know how your appointment goes! I'm sure you will be just fine.

Ditto PPs! I would try not to worry, especially since your doc doesn't seem concerned. FX you have a great appointment on Friday that puts your mind at ease!

Please disregard commenter above...BROWN spotting is the best kind of spotting to have if you are going to have some...it means old blood. Try to stay positive and take one day at a time. I hope it works out for you.

I just wanted to share, I've been having browns spotting too, and one day of red, but I just had an U/S today to check how far along I am and we saw baby and heard the heart beat. The doctor said my bleeding/spotting is from placenta previa (which has a 90% chance of moving before delivery), and that it's fine.
I hope your U/S goes well too!

Thank yall. I need reassuring comments.

This makes me feel much better! If yoi dont mind me asking, how long have you been spotting and how far along are you now?

Try not to worry!  I had one incident of red spotting and had brown spotting for 4 days straight after going to the bathroom (TMI, I know).  I stayed off my feet and drank lots of water and it has resolved.  I had an ultrasound yesterday and everything was still progressing normally.  Spotting is very common in 1st tri, and it doesn't always mean something bad is happening!

I am right there with ya... I have been spotting brown for 9 days now too (well, yesterday it stopped, but today it is back). FX for us both! I think im calling the dr again to see if I can get in... I don't have my forst apt for another 2 weeks & I swear the anxiety & stress of this is going to kill me if I cant find something out sooner. I know there is nothing they can do if I am loosing it, but at least I would know either way & I wouldn't have this wait & fear for 15 more days! FX, keep us posted!!!

I've been having the brown spotting since around a week after my BFP (bfp was Aug. 19) , had red blood on Sunday, then back to brown and haven't had any for a day or two now. I'm 6 weeks 3 days according to the u/s.

I've only spotted for one day this pregnancy but for my first I spotted off and on till week 6-7. I really hope it stops for you soon!

Hi! I spotted brown for a day and have been bleeding red for a day. When I called my doc originally to say it was brown they were not concerned, they only became concerned when it became red. Like above drink lots of water and try to stay relaxed as much as possible. It it changes call your doctor. GL Friday, I am getting a second beta and transvaginal us on Friday too. Hopefully Friday the 13th brings us some luck!
T&P!!

I have had spotting for the past 6 days, mostly brown but one day of red. Today is the first day this week without any, so far anyways.My ultrasound isn't for another 3 weeks, but they checked my levels and they are doubling, I was put on progesterone though since that was low. When I asked what why I would be spotting I was just told some women do. Frustrating and a little scary, but I am trying to be relaxed about it, at least I know my betas were rising. I hope it stops soon and all will be well for you ladies!

Omg, I was just about to create a discussion, but glad I found yours first. I've been spotting for a few days and I just saw some red today. I'm. freaking. out. I'm haunted by the m/c I had in Feb so it's constantly on my mind. I'm 5 weeks and just 1 week away from my first appointment. It can't come soon enough! FX that what we're experiencing is normal! Good luck to you, @llittle7!

gator2014

Good luck to you all! Hopefully all of our spotting is "normal". Please keep me updated with y'all's progress!
