Light pink discharge/spotting after transvaginal ultrasound

Hello everyone! I am currently 5W1D and had a transvaginal ultrasound yesterday (I am high risk which is why the early scan). They found what they believe to be the gestational sac and I go back in another week to follow up with another one. This afternoon, about 24 hours, after the ultrasound I started to have some very light pink discharge/spotting when wiping after the bathroom. It’s not a lot but definitely noticeable. I know that everything at this stage is a waiting game but have any of you had similar experiences with this happening? I had the same discharge about 4 days ago that lasted a few hours and the doctor wasn’t concerned. I’m sure it’s normal, but the unknown is scary so if anybody has had a similar experience I’d love to hear it. Thanks!

    Your cervix is very sensitive right now - and a transvaginal ultrasound probe isn’t gentle! The spotting is likely linked to the probe and your sensitive cervix.

    Expect it, also if you have sex. Your cervix is very sensitive and when irritated, it can cause spotting.
