Spotting = I'm a nervous wreck!

So of COURSE I start spotting the weekend before my 1st u/s and appt. My 1st appt. is not until Wed. This past Saturday I noticed some light light brown/lgt pink spotting (maybe TMI) with little ever so small brown strands. It has been happening on and off since Saturday. This doesn't help since I'm nervous enough that everything will be ok (since this is my 1st pregnancy). I called my Dr.s office this morning and they are running it by my OB so I am currently waiting for a call to see if they want me to come in early.

But has this happened to anyone else? Am I worrying for nothing? :(

TIA.

    I started spotting the week before my 1st u/s too (around 5 wk pg) and my Dr. sent me for bloodwork. Mine was due to low progesterone so he put me on a supplement and the spotting quit about a week and half later. Our last ultrasound showed a healthy baby and a strong heartbeat. :)

    I know it is very stressful but it happens to a lot of women in early pregnancy for different reasons so hopefully your OB can figure out what's going on. Good luck...I hope you get great news at your u/s!

    Sorry for the stress. Hopefully you can get in to see your doctor a little earlier and get some blood work done. Some spotting can occur after having intercourse...so maybe you can chalk it up to that? In fact, I had a miscarriage last year so my doctor advised me to refrain from sex unless my husband uses a condom. I'd never heard of such a thing, but I guess that there is a hormone in semen that thins out the cervix which can cause spotting. So we aren't having much sex until we get through the first trimester. It's a bummer, but we just want to be extra careful.....: )

    I had spotting on and off for the last month, and my LO is fine.  I was told to put my feet up, to lie down if I could, and to drink plenty of water.  GL and keep us posted!

    (((hugs))) I hope everything is just fine with your LO and that your OB can get you in earlier for that peace of mind.
