Anybody spotting?

The last two days I have had super light brown spotting on and off.  Looks like the tail end of my period.  It is freaking me out.  Has anyone had this or know what it means?  Should I do anything?

    I spotted on and off during my entire last pregnancy.  If you've had sex, done any strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, etc., it can cause you to spot.  Generally, if it's light brown, it's old, nothing to worry about.

    However, you should contact your dr with any spotting.

    Call your doc, just to be sure. You can always go in for an u/s. Are you taking progesterone? I spotted a bit in the previous pregnancy and they upped my progesterone dosage and that made it stop. My spotting was right around the time my period should have come. I believe that brown spotting means old blood so it very well could be normal.

    I had some spotting yesterday; also light pink/brownish.  Had one tiny little clot that freaked me out.  I called by doctors emergency line at 6:45am and they had me come in for an u/s just to make sure everything was ok.  Baby was fine; heartbeat was strong.

    I didn't have sex; can't think of any heavy lifting I would have done; but i stayed in bed the rest of the day to be safe.

    It's very common in early pregnancy; but I would definitely call and let your doctors know.  They might want to see you in the office just to check you out.

    Today is the 4th day in a row that I have had spotting.  It has varied from light pink, brown and red.  I called my Dr. yesterday and they got me in for an appt. today, tomorrow they are doing an u/s to check everything.  Spotting can be completely normal, but it is worth a call to the Dr.

    For the past couple of days I've been spotting too. It has only been brown in color, but it has increased from barely there to definitely there. It's not heavy though, just sort of light, like what happens right before my periods start. I called my OB today and they are having me come in tomorrow for an ultrasound. I'm terrified!

    I had some pinkish spotting Saturday night and a bit of brown spotting Sunday morning.  I definitely think it warrants a call to the dr's office.  The nurse told me she wouldn't call spotting "normal", but that it's definitely not uncommon.  I go in tomorrow for a scheduled appt and they are going to repeat beta's to check my progesterone levels. 

    Good luck!!  T&P's for you!

    Since Saturday I have a tan colored spotting, only once in a while. I'm not going to worry about it unless it gets heavier. I'm definitely keeping an eye on it, though
