I have been wanting to comment here for a while, but I was also too afraid to put it out there because I was afraid something was wrong. But I had some spotting when I was 4+4 weeks. I had already had my BFP, so I knew it want implantation bleeding. TMI, but I was constipated and strained to go that night before bed. When I stood up there was a few drops of blood in the toilet. I panicked! When I wiped it was vaginal. I cried, put on a pad and went upstairs to tell my SO. He was reassuring and told me it was probably normal. Of course that made me cry more! “You aren’t supposed to bleed when you’re pregnant!” was my response. I cried myself to sleep convinced I was miscarrying and that I’d wake up with blood everywhere. But in the morning there was nothing on the pad. I had a little brownish when I wiped sometimes the next day, but by the following day nothing. Then we had sex that next night and blood everywhere. I was trying not to panic this time, but I was. Same thing, nothing on a pad just brownish the next day, then nothing. And I had no cramping either time.
I had had my first appointment today (7+4 weeks), and I bled as soon as the dr started the exam. He said my cervix is super sensitive and assured me that it was only coming from the surface of my cervix and not from the baby. Probably from an infection 😬He said I’m measuring right on track for about 8 weeks and wants me back in 3 weeks to check the heartbeat. He wasn’t concerned with my bleeding at all and seemed very happy with my progress! It was so reassuring! Fingers crossed that we hear that beautiful heartbeat at our next visit!
I went to the bathroom a few hours ago and when I wiped, I had pink discharge. When I looked into the toilet, I could see a tiny piece of red something? I don’t know. It was like half the size of my pinky nail. This is baby #3. I have never experienced this before so it totally freaked me out. I have had 3 water bottles and been peeing non-stop to see if it was going to continue but I only had a tiny bit of pink when I wiped 1-2 more times and then nothing.
Seriously confused. I’m a nervous wreck. I’m 8 weeks, 2 days. I don’t know if I should see how tonight goes and then try and get in for a quick ultrasound tomorrow? My husband got a new job and our insurance doesn’t kick in until December 1st so I would be paying out of pocket.
@littlemamaofthree do you think you're peeing blood or spotting? I wasntsure from your post. If you're peeing blood I think you should go get checked for a UTI asap. If it is spotting with no cramping, that's a good sign, although, still not reassuring I know.
I pay OOP for everything right now even with insurance. I have a big deductible. I only pay $95 for an US.
@emeraldcity603 I don’t think I’m peeing blood but I have no idea what that red thing could have been from! I have had very mild cramping on and off but that is normal for me.
I slept like crap last night though so I’m going to call my doctors office when they open and see if they can fit me in today. I’d rather know then worry like this.
I did wear a pad all night and there’s nothing on it but just went to the bathroom and saw pink on the toilet paper😔 I feel defeated.
Had my second bout of spotting today. The first time was a couple weeks ago and everything was ok at the doctors later that day. Today it's heavier and I think I saw a small clot. No cramping yet but I am sitting here in dread waiting for my ob's office to call me back.
Well, add me to the spotting group. Fuck. Right now it’s just brownish discharge, and I’m really hoping it’s just because they found a yeast infection at my appointment (which can cause spotting from vaginal irritation), but my husband just left and no one knows I’m pregnant and my sister just went into labor tonight so everyone who I would normally call is occupied. Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck. I would really love to get through a pregnancy without bleeding...

@KissMeImScottish So sorry to hear. FWIW, I had a yeast infection a few weeks ago and also had brown spotting. I know its relatively common with yeast. Hugs to you.
Thank you for the reassurance - that helps a lot to hear that others have had yeast cause this kind of thing. I put a call into my doctor, regardless.

I'm baaaa-aaaack! I just wanted to drop by with some words of encouragement.
A few weeks ago I posted on this board about spotting which ultimately ended in a loss around the 5th week. Still undecided as to whether or not it was a chemical pregnancy.
Today I got a (faint) positive on a pregnancy test. I was uncertain since the test took a bit long to "process" I followed up with a digital and got a Yes+ ( !!!!! ) Even though what you are going through right now is scary and uncertain and downright SUCKS - hope is not lost! My heart goes out to each and every one of you - but know that this isn't the end and we're all here with you! Love and Hugs!
@sparklingdiamond I'm 11+3 today. I was 11 weeks when I had the spotting friday. It seems to have stopped now. I had a small amount yesterday. But I had an ultrasound at 8+5 and everything looked good so hopefully it's just some random spotting related to a sensitive cervix or something.
Had an ultrasound today to check on baby, since I started spotting on Friday. Good news, baby looks great. Measuring exactly on track with a heartbeat in the 160s, which is what we want to see. Not sure if this qualifies as good or bad news, but they found a small (1 to 2 cm) subchorionic bleed right above my cervix, which explains the spotting. Doctor isn’t overly concerned about it, especially since it’s location and size aren’t all that problematic, but they took me off asprin for a week or two in hopes that removing the blood thinning element will accelerate healing, and I’m on pelvic rest until it clears, since pressure on it could cause it to bleed and grow. That part isn’t hard, since my husband is currently out to sea, haha. As frustrating as it is to have a SCH, I’m also relieved to have an answer for the bleeding, and it’s an answer I’m familiar with, since I had a medium sized SCH with my twins that was far dicier than this one appears to be. So, while I still have to be cautious, I’m going to try to not lose sleep over this unless something changes, and they’ll check up on it in December at my NT screening.

So I am still bleeding pretty heavily. I went almost a week with no spotting and the night before last I woke up with DD2 and when I got back to my bedroom I could feel blood just pouring out of me. I didn't call because I assume its all fine because of my SCH. I was telling my husband last night and he was very concerned and said that SCHs shouldn't keep bleeding like this and with this kind of bleeding there is a 50% of miscarriage. So now I'm freaking out and I plan to call and get worked in for an US today.
My husband never worries, which is why I'm so freaked out.
@emeraldcity603, while I think you are definitely right to call (that much blood definitely bears a look to see what’s going on), I also want to offer some hope/reassurance from personal experience. When I started bleeding from my relatively minor SCH with the twins, it happened suddenly and felt like I had wet myself. In a matter of about 5 minutes, I was soaked to my knees and filled the toilet bowl and soaked a pad in an hour and a half. It was a LOT of blood. I continued to have reasonably period-like bleeding for the next week and continued to spot for the next month and a half. Ended up carrying both twins to 35+6 and they are healthy 17 month olds now. I think the big thing for me with the SCH is that, even with that much blood, I never had really obvious cramping or abnormal cramping associated with it. Bleeding itself isn’t great, but if it’s independent of cramping, it usually is a better sign. All of that aside, I would definitely give your doctor a call and make sure everything looks ok.

@KissMeImScottish thank you. That makes me feel much better. I haven't had any obvious cramping. Nothing like menstrual type cramping. I'm also not sure how much my husband knows about SCH. He sees them in the ER all the time but he doesn't follow the patient until the end of the SCH.
I'm suppose to be traveling across ththe country tomorrow too and I'm worried I will be pushing myself too hard when I need to be resting. I may ask my doctor if I need to be on more of an actual bedrest rather than just pelvic rest.
Holy smokes @emeraldcity603. I'm glad you're getting it looked at! Dad tells me all the time there are things that are cause for concern, and cause for alarm. What is concerning may be nothing, but trying to figure it out yourself can ratchet you up to alarm unnecessarily, and it's a doctor's literal job to be able to tell the difference and sort it out. Concern is ok, but don't panic until they do (and your husband is right to be worried, but maybe is too invested to diagnose rationally...not a bad thing by any means, but you're also right to not straight freak out until your OB says to). FX for good results!
