Bright red blood...Possible MC??

StellarpuppyStellarpuppy member
in 1st Trimester

So I just tested yesterday and got my BFP.  I suspect that my O date was 8/27 so I would be about 3w or so.  This morning I had some very minor cramping and noticed some slightly brownish discharge (TMI but I by habit of going up just to check since it doesn't always come out on my underwear).  I just checked again a few minutes ago though and it's much more of a bright red. 

Does spotting happen in the beginning or is this the beginning of a MC?  I have an appointment with a new OB/GYN on Tuesday so I will know by then but I was hoping for some opinions/suggestions/advice from you all who are/have gone through this early stage before.  Thanks a bunch in advance!

BFP - 9/18/11 ----- m/c 9/23/11
BFP - 7/16/12 ----- EDD 3/27/13  ----- Born 4/5/13
BFP - 5/27/14 ----- EDD 1/31/14 or 2/4/15

    BTW it's not a ton of blood but just noticably bright red which is what is scaring me.

    Unfortunately, it could go either way. I would call my doctor b/c it makes me feel better to talk to them, even though there isn't much they can do at this point other than start monitoring your hcg. Good luck!

    I had one episode of bright red blood when I was about 4 weeks....it was very scary, but it never happened again and baby is still doing well today, 9 weeks later. Good luck :-)

     This.  It COULD be nothing to worry about, but it's good to talk to your doctor just in case.

    This. I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but when I had my m/c it started with old brown blood and then turned red. There is nothing you can do, but rest and pray/hope for the best.

    On the other hand, there are PLENTY of ladies on here who have spotting with no m/c and have perfectly healthy babies. I would go to your doctor, ask them to check your HcG levels and make sure they're going up like they should be. GL and keep us updated!!

    Ugh! I'm so freaked because I'm going to a brand new doctor in a new town (we are moving an hour away from where I live) and I don't know him/the practice at all.  I think I'm probably going to wait one more day and if there is more I can call early in the morning and see if they can fit me in.  It's not like the doctors will be able to do anything right?

    My implantation bleeding was bright red and there was a bit more than spotting, but not quite flow.  I saw it every time I wiped for 2 days and it almost was like a light period.  It turned out to not be a m/c, which I thought it was at the time.  It happened the day after I got my BFP. 

    It could really go either way, but when I was going through this 2 weeks ago, optimism helped me get through it.  I'll be praying that your baby is OK!
