Please tell me happy stories about red spotting that turned out ok

eminbmore · December 2010

I've been spotting red for the past couple days. It's just a little bit, but enough that it's making me concerned. My nurse at the RE isn't concerned at all, she said it can be caused by the prometrium. But still... I haven't done anything else that would normally cause spotting (sex, lifting, pooping, etc.), so... I dunno.

Please tell me stories of red spotting with happy outcomes. I'm trying to remain positive, without being super hopeful. Difficult balance to maintain.

Hugs! I know how scary that is!

I went to a New Jersey ER on Thanksgiving morning for red spotting. I had been brown spotting for 4 days prior, and then it turned heavier and redder on Thursday morning.

Turns out, I had/have a SCH that is sitting on top of my cervix. A few days later, the spotting was gone. Just had an u/s this morning, and it's still there (the dr told me that I could expect more spotting from it), but smaller, so it looks like my body is absorbing it.

Could you go in for an U/S to see if there is anything that is causing it?

I had red spot right around BFP time and then again at 6 weeks. It turned out to be nothing at all and it stopped and I am doing fine. have you called your doc yet? when are you scheduled to go in?

I'm way too early for an u/s (I'm like 4w3d). I was in the RE's office this morning getting betas, and my nurse didn't seem concerned about the bleeding at all. My RE doesn't do internals (only u/s) so they couldn't check and see if they could see a cause or anything anyway. I'm not sure what a doc could do at this point, so I'm just waiting. I feel like I'm not going to know anything until Thursday's betas - in all of my miscarriages my betas never doubled properly, so I think that will be the biggest sign.

I had two episodes of unexplained bleeding (one I would have sworn was the end) and we're still trucking along at 23 weeks. It's so, so hard to not panic over bleeding:( I hope that all is well!!!

I had some spotting at about 9 weeks and it turned out to be nothing, I was put on pelvic rest until 16 weeks. I'm delivering three weeks from today so all is well. Big Smile

I haven't had any red spotting, but one of my best friends IRL had quite a few bleeding spells. They told her that her blood vessels downstairs were super sensitive, so if she walked a block down the road, she would start bleeding. Her LO is now 7 months old and doing great.

I hope you get some answers soon!

I had bright red spotting at around 6 weeks, so far so good. There was never a reason for spotting and I went to OB to make sure everything was ok.

PeetiePie · December 2010

I really hope it's nothing hon.

rock-elle · December 2010

I hope everything is ok!!

jetskreemr · December 2010

I was bleeding for 1 day right after 4 weeks. Spotted for 4 days after that, then it was gone. Scared the crap out of me, but my doc said it could have been that I had 2 eggs, then m/c one of them, while the other hung on. I'm still preggers (have had m/s lately, so I'm sure that's it) and at almost 7 weeks, so hopefully she was right!

((HUGS)) I had spotting at 4 or 5wks, and I'm still cooking. Sending lots of T&Ps your way!

I had red spotting around week eight caused by the progesterone/Lovenox combo. I hadn't done anything to cause it to happen either - i.e. sex or the like.

They did put me on pelvic rest at that time, and we found the previa then. It's since corrected. I also had some spotting last week - again, my blood vessels are thinned, there is a lot of pressure and I had to strain a little for a BM.

I know, it's not great and not encouraging to see. I hope everything is okay.

celestej619 · December 2010

(((hugs))) I hope everything is okay hun and that the spotting is nothing. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

itsmevkb · December 2010

Okay, I'll tell you my happy story. With my second pregnancy I spotted brown and then red almost every day from 6 to 8 weeks. I have a beautiful almost two-year-old daughter despite the spotting.

I'll be praying that everything is fine with your little one.

Sending you lots of sticky baby dust.

I was bleeding a little bit last Monday night and Tuesday at 9 weeks. There were a couple small clots. I went and had an u/s, and the baby was doing great. My doctor couldn't find an exact cause for it. It completely stopped the next day, and I haven't had any since.

I've had brown and red spotting at various times during this pregnancy...this was actually the first month I didn't have spotting. Sent me into a panic EVERY SINGLE TIME but they could never find any reason and everything is great with LO.
