I spotted a ton during the 1st trimester and haven't had it since 12 weeks. I'm 17 weeks now. I was spotting this morning so to ease my mind I used my Doppler and there was still a heart beat so I felt okay. I just noticed more spotting a few minutes ago, called my doctor but they are closed. I can get through to someone if it's an emergency but I don't know if this is considered an emergency or not so I don't want to abuse it. Would you hold out until Monday if the spotting continued?
@pink021 - after reading your response I went ahead and called. They have their recording set up weird. First it says if you have a medical emergency and need to speak with our physician on call please dial 1 (or whatever number it is). Then the recording gives me more options to leave a message for the on call doctor without mentioning it being an emergency. I went ahead and left a message and am waiting for a call back.
@Weezy56, that's exactly what I would do - try to get ahold of the on call doc. In fact, I had some bleeding a few weeks ago and that's exactly what I did. According to my doc as long as the spotting/bleeding goes away or turns brown within a few hours it's fine... but of course it all depends on your specific situation. Since then I've found out that I have low platelets so at least I have a reason for the spotting/bleeding... it's still scary though! Hopefully you hear back from the doctor soon and get some answers.

No sex recently : (. The only thing I can think of is I had a very bad pain on my lower right side this morning after stretching in the bed before getting up. It almost felt like a pulled muscle feeling.
So I just heard back, on call doctor said to take it easy for the next 12 hours and if I still have spotting to call them in the morning. Hopefully it'll be gone by then. Thanks y'all!
