Spotting at 5 weeks

blthorne8 · February 2020

I am roughly 5 weeks pregnant by first day of last period (Jan 13th) I've taken several pregnancy tests and all positive. Just scheduled my first ultrasound for March 16th. Yesterday starting in the AM occasionally when I peed (I drink lots of water and going more frequent) I was noticing pinkish tinge on toilet paper. About 4 times out of the dozens I went today. It wasn't consistent and wasn't reaching my undies. I have read a lot this is common but since my appointment is a ways away just looking for reassurance. No pain but moderate cramping. Similar to ovulation cramps, even more mild than period. This morning during my first void I had brown discharge like at the beginning or end of a period. In November I had a D&E (dilation and evacuation) because I lost my daughter at 19 weeks due to Turner Syndrome. I am not likely to miscarry since this was just a chromosomal abnormality. Guess I am mostly scared since I am bouncing back from a loss. I do have a 3 year old son and never had any spotting with him so I personally have no frame of reference.

I’m so sorry for your loss. There are a lot of things that can cause bleeding so the best thing you can do is get in touch with your OB.

Please take a moment to read through our board organization thread and introduce yourself on the introductions thread if you haven’t already. We generally try to stay away from one off posts because it clutters the board and everything generally fits into already existing posts. We do have a bleeding/spotting support thread that you can check out and feel free to jump in on other
