Just looking for some reassurance

Hey everyone! I had a miscarriage in February :( but am pregnant again woohoo! I am trying so hard to have faith and not be nervous but it’s so hard not to. I had blood work draw which showed I was 5 weeks and progesterone was 10.34. My HCG was great though. My doctor put me on 200 mg of progesterone and I noticed I am having some tan/ light brown spotting. Is anyone else experiencing this? I am about 6 weeks now. 

Re: Just looking for some reassurance

  • I should be about 5.5 weeks and have had on and off spotting for the last week. It’s definitely scary and freaks me out but my doctor says it’s normal. I have another week until my first U/S and the wait is rough, but I’m trying to stay in a positive headspace. Have had a few losses and hoping this one sticks! 
    Good luck to you! Hoping we both have healthy babies in March.

  • I've heard that progesterone suppositories can cause irritation to the cervix and may cause spotting. I had some light spotting the last time I was on progesterone

    This isn’t related to progesterone but spotting in general- I had brown spotting for a week straight last week (and even passed a small blood clot/ tissue) after finally getting in for an ultrasound to check if everything’s okay- the doc said I have a very sensitive cervix prone to bleeding/spotting- which is true for me as sometimes even after sex I spot. I was soo relieved. But everything was generally fine!

    I bawled my eyes out when I saw that blood clot because I thought for sure that was bad news… but it’s not always what it seems! I hope it’s something similar for you as well! I know how stressful it is to see that spotting and I hope everything goes smoothly for you 🤞🏽 
  • Thank you so much that makes me feel a lot better ❤️ so glad everything was okay for you:)
  • I haven’t experienced spotting yet, but I do feel cramps here and there. And those cause a lot of anxiety. I had a miscarriage last month and I was late again this month. So I took a test and it came back positive! Hope all of your pregnancies are going well!
