Just looking for reassurance on this one...

 

9 weeks today.  I had some spotting yesterday that started pink and turned brown as the day went on.  This has happened before, so I'm not really worried-- especially because it hasn't gotten worse.  AND I already have an ultrasound scheduled for Monday anyway.  HOWEVER... last night, after the spotting had gotten very light and turned a gross brown color, a hideous squishy black clot about the size of a pea came out of me (without additional blood).  The doctor said it was no cause for concern, but it still really freaked me out.  As far as I know, my body has never produced anything like that before.

 

I know I'm new and this will sound demanding, but reassure me!  Please!  Pat my head and say pretty things until the freakedoutedness has passed...

I have had the same thing happen a couple times, both times after sex.  When I called my doctor, they said this was normal if the color was dark brown.  They said that if it was bright red, to call them back.  I am sure if you made the appropriate step to let your doctor know what is going on and they are not concerned, then it is nothing to worry about!  Good luck with your appointment on Monday!

I had the normal brown, pink spotting and a few little clots.  I even had bright red with clots the size of quarters and it was all fine.  I had subchorionic bleeding and it was that slipping out.  Scared the hell of out me, but I have a beautiful 15 month old boy.

It is was it is, and it's out of your hands.  I know you are scared and Monday and that US can't come soon enough.  Please try to find some peace and enjoy this weeked.  I look back at that ruined scared weekend-my birthday- and wish I had enough faith at that time to enjoy it instead of fretting like I did. 

 Take care!

Thank you so much ladies...

 

I realized after I posted this that I was way overreacting, of course, and was terribly embarrassed; however, the kindness of your replies is greatly appreciated.  The u/s today was good, although they think because of possible late ovulation I'm actually like half a week behind where I think I am, which is irksome.  Whatevs-- it's nothing in comparison to seeing my little gummy-bear baby wiggle flipper arms at me.
