Spotting light brown/rust color

OCW2010

Ugh, I hate spotting.  I had a few days of spotting light brownish/rust colored CM around 12dpo to 16dpo.  And now, I went to the bathroom and I saw some on the TP again.  I know this is common, it still sucks and makes me nervous.

This is common, right?  I hate fishing for validation, but only you ladies would understand the need for it.

I had this the other day.  Went in for an u/s and couldn't find anything that would cause it.  I just got the "this can be normal for some woman" talk. 

 ((HUGS)) I know it's scary.

Totally normal! Unless it turns to bright red, I wouldn't stress one bit

Thanks Pappsie!  

I mean, I just don't understand where it's even coming from.  It's not like I'm exercising or doing anything strenuous that would cause it?  I hate this feeling.

Feeling a little crampy in my lower back and a little tightness in my uterus, which of course doesn't help my fears.  I hate my attitude sometimes.

I'm sorry you're having spotting.....just try to remember that it is normal and I'll be praying that it goes away so that you can relax and enjoy this pregnancy!!!!  ((hugs))

I've got the same thing going on, especially with the validation.  As annoying as they are, I do love the waves of nausea and sore boobs because they're reminders that this time actually worked!  I'm sure it's completely normal to be on edge until we're past the 1st trimester, but I wish I could have that confidence non-IF people seem to have that everything will work out.

Totally normal!! I had it around 6 weeks and 2 days. I wouldnt worry. If you start to see bright red call your RE

Best of luck sweetie!

I had the same thing twice early in my pregnancy - always dark red/brown.

I would just rest and drink lots of water.  It ended up being nothing.

Sorry this is so stressful! I hope it goes away soon, and i agree with Papps!

Thanks girls!  I did call my RE just bc my instructions say to call the nurse when it happens so they can note the chart.  They of course said the same thing as you all!

Yep...super common and always told it is "normal". If it's brown you're good to go, if you see red, I'd give the doctor a ring.

I had pretty heavy brown spotting for a week around 6 wks, and everything is still going fine.
