    Meh, I didn’t want to be the first one here, but I went to the bathroom this morning and there was some blood when I wiped. Spotting I guess? But definitely there. Reminds me of the beginning of a period before the full flow starts :/ I’m hoping it’s nothing, but who knows. My insurance hasn’t kicked in yet so I can’t even call to ask for betas. So I’ll just wait and see. No cramping and still feeling nauseous. 

    I’m worried because it’s supposed to be my first day back at work and I have a physical job. I don’t want to push myself and I don’t want to start full-on bleeding while I’m there. So idk what to do :( my test yesterday was still positive but I know it would pick up any HCG even if it was going down or not doubling. Hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.

    @virtaur big hugs! Hopefully it's nothing serious. My last pregnancy I had an SCH so tons of bleeding and spotting off and on but all was well with baby.

    @bserena thank you so much! I know statistically spotting/bleeding can be common and completely normal. But of course my brain immediately goes to “nope, it’s over” 😩 I wish I could get checked out now! But I know that probably wouldn’t give me immediate answers anyway

    @virtaur so sorry to hear this, sending you positive vibes. When does your insurance kick in?

    @chickaboom88 thank you 💕 I’m going to go to the bathroom soon and check. I put a pad on and it seems to be only when I wipe, last time I checked was brown. So I’m hoping it’s nothing. I’m waiting on my job to process insurance hopefully soon! Usually they start it on the first of the month (I had loss of coverage) so I could technically probably go in and then send the bill to insurance. But I want to make sure before I get an expensive bill. I could go to the pregnancy center in town for free but idk if I want to do that yet.

    Hi guys, so I am 5 weeks, 1 day, last night I went to ER due to serious pain in my right side and some bleeding. I had a fall earlier in the day but did not hit my stomach or sides so I was extremely worried that the stress of the fall was causing issues. My Hcg was 375 (Saturday it was 355). Today I followed up with my OB today and she did an internal ultrasound, my numbers still aren’t high enough to see anything but she did point out that there is a pocket of fluid in my uterus. She stated she thinks that pocket is leaking and that’s where my bleeding is coming from and the bleeding is why she feels it may be a pocket of blood. She decided to not only test my HCG levels today but my progesterone levels too because that will help determine if this is an ectopic pregnancy. Has anyone else experienced this? I posted a few days ago about bleeding and it has been going on since Monday the 28th. I’m trying to stay as calm as possible but I have never experienced this with my other two successful pregnancies. I think I need guidance and any possible things this could be.

    @catem07 thank you for asking! I’m doing better today. No spotting 🤞🏻And I worked so that’s a plus. A bit of cramping but it felt like usual first tri cramps. I’m just nervous because I don’t get period cramps after having my son; so I’m like, will I even notice if something is wrong? I’m trying to schedule my first appt I hope it’s not too far out!

    I had what seemed like a decent amount of brown spotting and thought the worst. I called the advice nurse and she thinks myself and baby are okay since it was brown and not bright red. I had a miscarriage once and any bleeding during pregnancy is traumatizing. But trying to remain positive. Based on the triage done of the advice nurse, the doctor thinks it’s okay to wait to be seen until my 8th week ultrasound. Hoping for the best! No spotting since.

    Hope everything is okay! (Maybe a pocket of old implantation bleeding?) Hopefully the appointment is soon!

    @ cdavis2418 How are you doing? I had an ectopic last year and I know it was a scary time.

    I had a lot of bleeding on Friday and was convinced it was a miscarriage. The doctor’s office was already closed, so they said I could either go to the ER or wait until Monday to get scanned. 

    I got scanned on Monday, and it turns out that the baby is fine (yay!), but I have a subchorionic hematoma. Hoping that it reabsorbs and doesn’t cause problems, but I’m definitely a bit stressed.

    I hope you are all good and your spotting has stopped. I've been spotting at different intensity for a couple weeks now, at the beginning there was a lot of cramps. Thankfully so far things have shown up positive on tests with the HCG levels going up as they should and the Drs have had me in twice (I'm not 8 weeks yet). I hoping that it keeps going that way and I am so ready to know why and if it will stop.

    Almost 13 weeks. I’ve had two experiences with bright red bleeding. Thankfully I have a dr that will bring me in to check quickly. First was during 11th week and second 4 days later. Dr says it can be abnormally normal. I’ll just get checked as needed. Placenta is low so here’s hoping it moves up and irritation stops.
