I’m 5w4d and started spotting a bit today. Light pink/brownish at times. I put a liner on so I could keep an eye on it. I know it’s normal usually, just curious how many others here have experienced it?

I had quite a bit of spotting/ light bleeding with my son in the beginning but he was perfectly healthy!

I’m going through this now and just spiraling after a blighted ovum in July. I didn’t experience this with my son last pregnancy so I just go into the worst case scenario- I’m 6 weeks today - keep me posted on everything and sorry I’m not much help but at least know what you’re going through!

@awisnie42789,
no thank you so much for sharing! That’s exactly why I made this post, just for everyone to share their experiences maybe so we don’t spiral as much? I’m the Queen of spiralling! �� Keep me posted with you as well!

@smcrae09,
I’m right there with you! I’ve taken so many easy home tests today and while they are still dark and positive not as dark as it was Tuesday but then idk if my hcg is high that it won’t read right anymore �� my us isn’t until the 13th but if it’s still brown discharge by Monday I am going to ask for more labs I think - I’ll keep you posted sending you positive thoughts and prayers ����

I had spotting with my first daughter around 6 weeks. I found out I had a small subcorionic hemorrhage. She’s a healthy 3 year old now!

@OAT1997,
oh that’s great! I’ve read a lot about people’s experience with that, from what I can tell they’re common enough! Thanks so much!

I have been experiencing this too. And even one instance with some bright red and a lot, but only spotting after that. So it’s really hard to know what to think! I have heard so many stories about it being okay, and so many not so encouraging stories too, so it’s hard to know what to think. I know it can be normal, and my home test was still strong positive today, but we will just have to wait and see! I’d love to know how things go for you! I am remaining hopefully with you!

@annegirl1421,
thank you! Sending positivity your way too! I’m spotting a little heavier now but still light pink in colour. I don’t have my first ultrasound until February 5th so a while to go still. Hoping it subsides soon so my anxiety can chill!

I had very intense light pink spotting one wipe on last Tuesday. Then it was very light for the next 2 days. I had an ultrasound today and this is what I got!!! With a heart rate of 122. Such a tiny heart was so amazing to see

I spotted most of the last 4 weeks with 3 little bleeding episodes. Have had two ultrasounds the most recent on Monday at 6w4d and had a baby with a strong heartbeat measuring on track. Found 2 SCH that look like they’re healing but also saw what the doctor called “old blood”. Next ultrasound late next week to see how things are progressing. My doctor wasn’t worried much about the bleeding but combined with a “not totally perfect” gestational sac shape I’m in “moderate risk” category.

I spotted quite a bit with my first pregnancy, even had some small clots. Very worrisome but everything turned out fine. I spotted around 6 weeks with this pregnancy too, a smaller amount and it was brown but yes, while alarming, it can be very normal.

I’m 8w today and had a little spotting today, but I had an US on Tuesday and was told there was a little blood present on the US, so to not worry if I had any spotting. So try not to worry too much, it’s very common!
