Spotting

Hi, 
This is my first pregnancy ...5 weeks 2 days. 

I’m having some very light pink spotting. I had a tiny bit of cramping so (TMI) but I stuck some toilet paper up in my vagina to see if there was any blood and there was a tiny bit of pink. This happened last night and this afternoon. My doctor had me go do bloodwork today to test my hcg and progesterone. I’m so scared 😟 anyone else gone through anything like this?

And sorry, I just realized I should have posted this in the other thread and can’t figure out how to delete it! 😞

@chelswcu12 i had some spotting in the early part of this pregnancy as well. It was just some vaginal irritation that caused it ! I hope everything works out with the bloodwork ❤️

I have spotted with my last pregnancy (hes 10.5 months now) and this one. With my last it actually had relatively heavy bleeding (required a pad) and it ended up being low progesterone. This time we checked my progesterone early on and I still had spotting because my supplement dose wasn’t high enough. I haven’t had an ultrasound yet but my betas have been picture perfect so they aren’t worried. I also always spotted after sex. My point being, that unless it’s heavy bleeding I wouldn’t worry and even then it may be something not serious. There’s a lot of blood flowing and changes happening that can lead to occasional bleeding. I know it’s hard but most of the time is no big deal.

@relizabethp so far so good! The doctor had my HCG and Progesterone tested and they told me my levels were “beautiful” so fingers crossed all stays healthy! 🤞 thank you for asking! 🙂💜
