Spotting

i am 6 weeks 6 days and I have been cramping for the past few days. I had no bleeding until today. I started to have brown/red blood only when going to the bathroom.

This is my first pregnancy so of course I panicked and called my doctor. They said it should be okay but if it continues to call back.

Obviously I'm still freaking out. :/

Re: Spotting

  • It can be entirely normal. As can cramping. I know it's hard, but try to keep your mind off of it.

  • I had spotting with the pregnancy I miscarried and the pregnancy that was healthy. It can be normal, but I understand the worry entirely. Keep an eye on it, and go in if you feel the need. I would request bloodwork, b/c I like to make sure it's not my progesterone levels. Better safe than sorry.

  • Hi Rachel, I've been spotting and cramping, too. I went in and had my HCG levels done and will go back on Thursday to have them checked. If something like that would ease your mind, I would suggest asking to have that done. I spotted a little with my first and everything turned out ok. It's still so scary to see blood, though. I've been a nervous wreck. I'm wishing you the very best!
