Spotting for 5 days....Doctor says not to worry???

I have been spotting dark brown blood.  I called the doctor twice and she says that as long as there is no pain or heavy bright red blood not to worry.  My first ultrasound is this coming Monday.  The wait is agony.  I am feeling tired and morning sickness but the spotting still concerns me.  I have thyroid disease (and stay on top of my meds and levels) and also suffer from fibroids.   I will feel so much better when I can see the ultrasound.  Has anyone else experienced spotting for several days??

  • A little further on for both of my boys - around 13 weeks I had some pretty good bleeding but they were both fine.

    I had some heavy brown bleeding with my daughter at 12w and everything was fine. Brown is always better than red!

  • I just experienced this light yellowish brown with mucus, she told me totally fine, as long as we don't have cramps and red it is ok. My visit is this Thursday I don't know how I am able to wait for 2 more days!!!! But I am feeling alright so I hope everything is alright down there
  • I had spotting for a week, starting at 5 1/2 weeks, and the doctor told me the same thing. Try to hang in there! It's the worst, but as long as your not heavily bleeding, you're *probably ok!

    *obviously I'm not a doctor. ;)

    MommyTee80, I have had brownish/pink/sometimes a little red spotting for the past three days. I panicked and called my doctor and he saw me. Everything was absolutely fine! My doctor told me that a little spotting is normal for some women, they don't always know where it is from, but it happens (said it could be breakthrough bleeding, agitation from previous exam, or even uterus stretching are among the possibilities) . They told me refrain from having "fun" with my DH until my next ultrasound and to lay low on exercise, but other than that, the little peanut is still growing. I hope this gives you some piece of mind :).
  • I did with my first and he's fine! I did a little with this one around when my period was due, but not as much
