Anyone have bad spotting that turned out okay?

PittPurple · April 2012

So I'm on day 17 (not counting or anything) of pretty consistent brown spotting and bleeding. Nothing red, no bad cramping or anything, just constant. It's driving me slowly insane and I keep googling different options and reading any hopeful stories I can find. It occurred to me today that y'all would know exactly how stressful this is and why every single day feels like it's taking 100 years.

I'm not having tons of symptoms (just overwhelming exhaustion and a bit of chest tenderness and random food aversions) and I'm struggling to stay positive. Would love to hear from anyone who's further along and had a good result after something like this, it's really hard to stay positive and stop running to the bathroom.

I have a scan scheduled for later this week (okay fine, in 56 hours) so I know logically I just need to take a deep breath and wait but I'm in total panic mode now and can't focus on anything else at all.

I have had spotting about four times now. I KNOW how nerve wracking it can be! I'm so sorry you're having to go through it! Had bright red spotting a few days after my bfp and then some brown and/or pink spotting a few times since then. About once a week or so. However, my RE says it's very normal and we've seen the baby's hb twice now. Fingers crossed for both of us! ((hugs))

Dont have any experience here but I hope your next 56 hours goes by super fast!!

I had spotting for about two weeks and one day of bright red bleeding. It eventually stopped...but it was very stressful.

I used my doppler yesterday and baby's heart is just beating away in there. Just try to relax- I know it is nearly impossible. Spotting doesn't always mean the worst.

I spotted red/pink every single day from 5DPO until 11 weeks. We are still here going strong.

I had consistent brown spotting from 5w-7w in this pregnancy, and so far things are going well (FX). But I also freaked out and googled a lot when it started, especially because I had the same thing in my last pg (since it happened in both, I assume it was some kind of normal implantation-related thing). But I know how nerve-wracking it is! Hope yours stops soon and you have a great scan.

I spotted from 5 weeks 3 days to 6 weeks 6 days, at which point it turned to bright red period-like bleeding. The bleeding returned to spotting again and I had an ultrasound at 7 weeks 2 days that showed baby with a heartbeat of 164 and measuring 2 days ahead. There was a small subchorionic bleed they saw that was the reason for the spotting and bleeding. By 8 weeks I had stopped spotting and haven't had anymore since. FX for you!

I had bright red bleeding (wouldn't even call it spotting) and all is okay so far.

I had light bleeding when I was pg with DD. It was just a subchorionic hematoma, and everything turned out just fine.

PittPurple, this pregnancy has been nothing but a rollercoaster for you!

I had horrible spotting and bleeding from weeks 4-9. It was complete torture, hang in there.

Yes, yes it has. I'm so tired already and I'm barely 7 weeks. I am just hoping for good news tomorrow and then maybe I can focus on anything else for a minute!
