I have been spotting light tan/beige and then has turned into dark brown all weekend. Off and on cramping and just a feeling of fullness. I’m going in for bloodwork to check my levels as I’m only 6w1d today. Crossing my fingers, but I’m not super hopeful. I have been down about it all weekend.

@beks37 sending good vibes to you! I had spotting early on in my first pregnancy that worried me but all was good - hoping the same for you!

beks37

@mamahosch Thanks. I won't get the results back until tomorrow. I've been looking up success stories online and even the nurse said not to worry, that's it's old blood. I can't help but worry....

@beks37 I’m sorry you have to deal with this - good or bad result, it’s still anxiety inducing. I hope you get good news soon!

I spotted the day after my positive test, which was 3 days before my missed period. Thankfully I haven't spotted since, but with my 2nd DD, I spotted for weeks. It was nerve-wracking.
Any news @beks37 ?

beks37

I haven't received a call from the doctor yet, I'm hoping they call this morning. But the spotting has turned from brown to red bleeding the past two days and much heavier, like a very light period, but I'm still having to wear pads. I do also have cramping that gets worse in the evenings.

Ok, so I heard from the doctor. My hcg is 1458, which seems in range. My progestorone is 4.5, which is low, so they are going to start me on supplements. I had a repeat blood test today, so I'll hopefully know tomorrow which way things are going. This is the worst....

@beks37 keeping fingers crossed for you! After IUI I’m on progesterone (and estrace) -do you have the vaginal supplement? If so, get ready for some gross af discharge. 

beks37

Well I'm out. My hcg went down to 1292 and progesterone went down to 4.1. Best of luck to all of you. Thanks for your good thoughts. It has been such a hard week.
