help - weird spotting pattern???

sliz

I am having the weirdest spotting. Every evening for the past 3 days I spot at about 6:15 or 6:30. At the end of the day - it's not a lot, it's pink and after one or two wipes it's pretty much all gone. No strong cramping or backache with it. Then I've gotten nothing except normal cm for 24 hours. I'm wondering if this could be because I sit all day long and am putting pressure on something down there?

 Also, I heard that its normal to bleed a little around when you would normally get your period. If I were on nothing but met, I would have been due for my next period on monday (42 day cycles)....

Is this weird? Should I be worried about it? I will call the doc tomorrow I guess. Everyday I think, oh if it continues I'll call and then it goes away so I think oh it's nothing. Then the next day again I get another tiny wipe...

I am so scared that baby won't have an h/b next week....argh....

Hey Sliz! 

My bleeding/spotting episodes are worse than what you are describing - but I have to go on 3 days of bedrest for it.  I definately think you should call the Dr.  I call them all the time with questions -they get paid big bucks, I ask them stuff ALL the time!  Sounds normal to me- but it always helps to hear it from the professionals.

By the way- have you told anyone about the baby yet?  We think we will tell our parents this week.  I could really use my mom's support with all this bleeding stuff.

Hi Tracy....

 

I just called the on-call. He is the one that did my follie scan. He was pretty reassuring and said that up to 50% of pregnancies have some bleeding in the beginning and that as long as it wasn't accompanied by cramps I was more than likely fine, especially with my progesterone at 15.8 (I guess they consider that very good). He offered to have me come in for a u/s this week, but it's still early and he said that if I didn't see a h/b it would be inconclusive. I would rather wait until next week I think and that way I just have an answer. Even if it is not the answer we want, it will be closure instead of even more anxiety for 4-5 days.

 I haven't told my parents yet. I decided I would wait until I saw the h/b at least once if not twice. I might break down on that but they don't know we have been trying. My mom is a maternity nurse and around newborns everyday. She wants a grandchild so bad and I think it would break her heart if I miscarried after I told her....it would make a m/c hurt even more for me too. Everytime she brings up the subject, I've been blowing her off because I wasn't sure that it would happen easily or soon.
