Light Bleeding

in May 2015 Moms
I am 4 weeks and 3 days and this is my first time pregnant, last night I had some light bleeding it was dark and thin (sorry if it is TMI) and I only noticed it when I wiped it only lasted for about an hour, now I have a tiny bit of brown spotting.  I am very nervous that I had a miscarriage but I am not sure what to do,  intially when I called my obgyn they would not see me until 7-8 weeks so my appointment is Oct 8.  I am not sure if I should call my doctor tomorrow morning to see if they will do blood work to check my levels.

    You should call your doctor and have blood work. You don't want to be stressed out for the next month. The doctor will probably tell you that it's normal, but I would still have blood work done so you have peace of mind.

    I had the exact thing last week at 4w2d. Literally, sounds exactly the same. I was at work and was literally in tears. I called the nurse and she said totally normal. She ordered me to have betas done (they don't do them routinely) and that's it. I will find the results out tomorrow. I would still call your doctor just to be sure -- they may order lab work for you, also. It is good to just stay connected with your doctor regardless. Keep them updated.

    Brown spotting is considered normal. Red is what you need to be concerned about. And even though if enough that you need a pad. If you are concerned, call your OB in the morning. GL.

    Yup. DS is Tommy Pickles! Nothing like living with an escape artist.

    Definitely do see a doctor. Bleeding during pregnancy is a tricky thing and it could be many things causing it. TBH, it sounds pretty normal to what several ladies describe. Good luck!

    I've had brown spotting for several days now.  My OB had me come in and do an hcg blood draw and my levels look fine and were rising normally when I went back for a repeat.  She said that brown means it is old blood and not to be too concerned.  She said to call if it turns red.

    I wanted to give an update (I changed my screen name if it appears diff) I received my levels hcg 534 and progesterone is 13.7. The nurse said they would like to see progesterone at 20... Going to get a second draw tomorrow.
