1st Trimester

5 weeks cramping and spotting

I am just at my five-week point and am having some pretty strong cramping along with some spotting when I go pee.  My HCG levels are where they should be and doubling at the appropriate rate. 

I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks before, but my HCG levels were very low and not increasing so I am hoping this is normal.

Any thoughts?

Re: 5 weeks cramping and spotting

  • It could be normal if it doesn't turn into bright red and large amounts. But whenever you have spotting, I don't think a call to your doctor is unwarranted. I'd call the doc and let them know, just in case they might have you come in, especially if it is not stopping. Just be aware, a lot of women can have spotting all throughout the pregnancy and no issues.
