Spotting

I woke up today to find myself spotting. Of course I am very freaked out right now. It is light brown and I do not seem to be cramping. My lower back is a little sore feeling. I am trying to keep myself calm. I did have a Pap when I saw my doc on Tuesday and we had sex Thursday. Could this be causing the spotting? The last time I wiped there was a brown dry clot (like when you blow your nose or something) and then not so much as before. Please give me reassurance...

 

Re: Spotting

  • I could definitely be from the pap or the sex.  Try not to stress too much.  I had similar spotting around 13 weeks with DS as the doc just told me to take it easy for a couple of days and it would go away.  Good luck!

  • I had one, pea sized dot of brown tinted CM...not like you described but brown.  It only happened in the morning once...I had tons of normal CM and then when I wiped a 2nd time there was a little dot of light brown CM.  I called the Dr just to be safe and she said it's very normal.  She said to call the Dr in the morning just so they can bump up my ultrasound and check things out.

    Of course I've obsessed and checked about 20 times a day and it's only been that once so I'm not too worried.  My lower backs sore too but it started hurting after I lifted weights on Wed.

     

     

  • Per my mom's orders I did call the doc. He said it sounds normal and if it continues into tomorrow they will bump up my u/s to this week. I think my mom is worse than me some days.
  • Although spotting can be normal, it should never be ignored, and you should always call your doctor when you have spotting. It's not being over paranoid to call about spotting.
