Tw.. spotting support thread

In pregnancy spotting can be normal, but also very scary, this thread is a safe space to talk about spotting, get advice and offer support to our fellow mommies !

I’ve been spotting daily since before I got a positive test. I actually thought it was spotting at the beginning of my period. It just ended up being so light that I took a test and shockingly it came back positive. When I called the doctor they said it was really common in the beginning but I can’t help but feel super nervous every time I go to the bathroom. Tests have been getting very dark so that’s nice to see but I’m just feeling like I can’t get excited yet.

I have been spotting brown on and off for one week. It’s crazy. The dr said it’s normal unless I see dark red blood.

sarahhhec · May 2019

I’m 5w2d today and I’ve been spotting brown for 9 days. It’s super minimal, it’s only there when I wipe, nothing on my underwear or in the toilet and I probably never would have noticed it but I had a miscarriage at 12 weeks four years ago so I’m super nervous about everything. I told my doctor about it and she didn’t seem the least bit concerned, so I’m hoping everything is okay. I have my first ultrasound on the 31st. Fingers crossed for a healthy baby!

alex_19 · May 2019

@sarahhec that sounds exactly like me, too. However I have been wearing panty liners. It’s so nerve wracking! We have our appt on the 31st as well! Fingers crossed it will all be fine!

Have you ladies had your progesterone checked? Heard sometimes its a sign of low progesterone

sarahhhec · May 2019

@alex_19 Thinking of you! Fingers crossed for both of us!!

@mommystuebs I don’t think so. I had full bloodwork done on Monday though.. would progesterone have been included in that or do I need to request that?

marebear15 · May 2019

@sarahhhec - I've seen some where it is included, and some where it's not. Do you have access to your results?

sarahhhec · May 2019

@marebear15 I did it at LifeLabs but they didn’t give me the number to check them online. I’m going to go there tomorrow and get it. All my bloodwork should be back by then, but my doctor would call me anyways if anything was low... but if I don’t notice it on there I’m definitely going to talk to her about it.

alex_19 · May 2019

When I called the OB and told them about the spotting they were just like oh yeah that's normal and didn't mention anything about getting bloodwork. I have read that it can be that progesterone is low so I hope that isn't the case. I'm going on almost 3 weeks of spotting now, has stayed the same the entire time. I keep waiting for something to change.

Spotting can be normal but especially having insurance, getting tests done never hurt. And youre the one paying your doctor. Never be scared to ask for reassurance. Honestly though i feel like youre just one of the mama's who spot.

shell142020 · May 2019

Is spotting still if you see blood when you wipe but it isn’t in a liner?

marebear15 · May 2019

Just started spotting this morning, exactly like last time, right about 5 weeks too. I'm afraid this is the beginning of the end.

kbrown2385 · May 2019

@marebear15 😔 oh no. I’m keeping my fx for
you. Have you gotten anymore betas?

hanshotfirst77 · May 2019

@marebear15 Oh no, fx for you. Did they ever test your progesterone again?

ruby696 · May 2019

*lurking*

@marebear15 FX so hard that everything is fine. Sending hugs.

peppyj9 · May 2019

@marebear15 oh no! 😥 FX that it is just normal spotting and everything is ok. ❤

EmilyE13 · May 2019

@marebear15 I’m thinking of you and hoping everything is ok and you can be reassured soon.

b_1029 · May 2019

*lurking* @marebear15 hoping so hard that this spotting is harmless. FX for you ❤️

mokay19 · May 2019

I started bleeding yesterday. My doctor had me go to the ER. The doctor said my cervix is closed and we saw the baby, however, I’m still having cramping and bleeding so I’m expecting the worst tomorrow at my 7 week scan. Unfortunately, DH is going out of town tomorrow for work. My mom is going to come up and help with DD while I’m at my appt and to help with whatever happens.
Yesterday and today have been rough and I’m terrified for tomorrow.

kbrown2385 · May 2019

@mokay19 that is so scary. I’ll be thinking of you tomorrow. Keeping my fx everything is ok.

peppyj9 · May 2019

@mokay19 FX everything is OK. I'm glad your mom is able to come up in lieu of YH. Hang in there! ❤

hanshotfirst77 · May 2019

@mokay19 I hope everything is ok. I’m glad you’re mom can be with you. Fx for you!

MollySm · May 2019

@mokay19 - FX everything is okay! I had a bunch of gushing blood with my second, it lasted until well into the second tri. My daughter was completely fine in there, but I was so convinced every time it happened I was miscarrying (especially as it was my pregnancy after my miscarriage). It is so scary, I know. But it is possible for things to be okay. I am glad your mom is going with you. ((hugs))

laurenmicheley · May 2019

@shell142020 Yes, spotting is light bleeding when you wipe or on your liner. It’s common in pregnancy, but would advise you to call your OB to be sure.

@marebear15 @mokay19 FX so hard for you both. I hope this week brings only good news for you. 🤞

EmilyE13 · May 2019

@mokay19 FX that you have good news tomorrow at your scan and the bleeding clears up. I’m so glad your mom will be around to help out. I’m sorry you’re going through this!

alex_19 · May 2019

@marebear15 @mokay19 FX for both of you. I’m sorry you are going through this!

Xstatic3333 · May 2019

@marebear15 and @mokay19 I’m so sorry you’re both going through this. Sending positive thoughts to both of you that all will be ok.

valerie4786 · May 2019

@marebear15 and @mokay19, gosh that is nerve wracking! Hoping for the best for you two and sending positive vibes to you both!

A few hours into the morning, I remembered that my sister had bought some natural progesterone cream for her normal cycle, so I asked if I could borrow it. I slathered it on like sunscreen because I figured a pregnant woman can't really have too much, plus cream is a lot less potent than suppositories. A few hours later the spotting stopped.

I haven't had any betas or my progesterone checked since I was 12 and 13dpo, which has been 1.5 weeks, almost 2 weeks ago. I'm calling my doctor to get my progesterone rechecked and he'll probably want me to come in for a quick ultrasound too. I'm only 5w2d, so probably won't be able to see the heartbeat, but I might be able to see the gestational sac and fetal pole. Calling as soon as the office opens.

peppyj9 · May 2019

@marebear15 so glad to hear the spotting stopped! FX everything is OK and you get good news from your doctor. Thinking of you. ❤

kbrown2385 · May 2019

@marebear15 so glad you got the spotting to stop. Hopefully you can get into the dr today!

kbrown2385 · May 2019

@marebear15 so glad you got the spotting to stop. Hopefully you can get into the dr today!

persnickity · May 2019

@marebear15 glad the spotting stopped. Keep us posted about the progesterone levels!
