Implantation bleeding At almost 6 weeks

thechristyfamily · June 2015

I am 6 weeks along and started bleeding yesterday. I had cramps as well. Went to urgent care and they sent to to the ER. After tons of blood test and 2 ultrasounds, they said it was implantation bleeding and that the cramps were being caused by a cyst on my overy. I had no clue implantion bleeding could happen that many weeks in. After freaking out all day that i miscarried, they said I was fine. Live and learn I guess. This is my first pregnancy so of course I freaked out. Has this happened to anyone else?

If you're already 6 weeks pregnant than for them to tell you it's implantation bleeding doesn't really make sense, IMO. The baby implanted two weeks ago. If you get implantation bleeding, it's usually a day or two before a positive pregnancy test. It is normal to get a small amount of spotting through out the first tri. It's called breakthrough bleeding and it's usually brown. Glad everything looked good in your bloodwork and ultrasounds though! That's great news

That's exactly what I thought. It gave me a little peace of mind knowing my hormone counts are high and all, but I'm still spotting a little. Hopefully it goes away.

Spotting can be normal but it wasn't implantation bleeding at 6 weeks. That seems weird they'd tell you that.

Maybe they meant it was old implantation blood? That's odd! Never heard of that before at 6 weeks. Glad everything else looks good!

They said the same thing to me when I went to the ER last week. I just nodded my head and rolled my eyes. No way would implantation spotting happen at 6 weeks and it most def wouldn't be red.

Did everything work out ok for you too?

So far. I have had 3 scans that all have had a baby and HB. Still bleeding though.

I have another tomorrow so we will see where we are at then. FX for you!

Good luck! Hopefully everything goes well tomorrow!

I have bled on and off from 5 weeks to 7 weeks. They told me I had a subchorionic hematoma and to rest whenever I spotted. 8 weeks now and haven't had spotting.

So I never had the "implantation" bleeding- I am currently 5+4 and this morning after using the restroom I noticed some bloody mucus on the TP. I've used the restroom since then and haven't had anymore? Is it normal? This is my first pregnancy and I don't want to rush to the ER for every little thing.

@amandariggen It seems pretty normal especially if it was only once. Some will say to call your doc, others might say to just mention if at next appt.

@PumpkinTi ok- I'll keep an eye on it and if things change I'll make a call. I haven't had my first appointment yet and they can't see me until July 24.

@amandariggen I'm 5 wks right now and have experienced the same thing. I called my doc just to see what she thought I should do since it will be 3 wks until I see her. She basically said that there's no prevention of mc, obviously we know that, but to rest my mind I could come in and get my levels tested today and Wednesday and see if they increase. Idk if I'm going to since I no other symptoms accompany it. I will be calling if I have a consistent amount of spotting or cramping/pain. I'm a pretty level headed person, I'm also a registered nurse and am going to school for DNP, but this scared me and made me very anxious, something I don't feel often. Good luck, keep us posted.
