I had some brown spotting yesterday and today it is slightly more pink. Is a little bit normal? When do I worry?

I had some brown spotting yesterday and today it is slightly more pink. Is a little bit normal? When do I worry? How far along are you? Any cramping? getzystark just had this and everything was fine. She went ahead and had a reassurance ultrasound because she was around 6.5 weeks at the time. They never found a source, so it was probably just from implantation bleeding or just overdoing it. I’ve heard you should only worry if the bleeding becomes heavy and/or is accompanied by painful cramping, but you’re going to worry anyway. Hugs!!

Hugs! FX that it's nothing. Like Risscaboobs said, my OB told me that unless you were cramping and having heavy bleeding, that it shouldn't be cause for alarm. Can you call your OB and talk to one of the nurses for reassurance?

Hugs, I had this last week. Even knowing it happens to a lot of people, it's still scary. Generally it's heavier flow with cramping you need to worry about. Depending on how far along you are if say call your OB if it will give you peace of mind. I hope it stops soon.

Sending calming vibes to you. I’ve heard from friends this is quite common. I’m sure you’ll be worried, but try and wait for your dr’s thoughts before you assume the worst. Hugs.

{{Hugs}} to you, I hope the spotting has passed. Brown is fine, it is old blood. Bright red would be of concern, as well as flow. FX it is nothing.

So sorry you are going through this bc I am too. It is such a mind fuck and totally sucks! I had both brown and light pink spotting with my son and he was perfectly fine. That being said I totally get the fear bc I was freaking out this morning.
I ended up calling my dr and had my first set of blood work done today. After my loss in May I felt I needed this information to understand if things were going wrong this time too.

I had spotting with red/pink last week + cramping. Lasted about 24 h and just went away. When I called, they said to drink lots of water and get some rest. They'd be concerned if it got worse or the bleeding became severe (like a pad in an hour). For me, it resolved by the next day - hope yours does too! No fun.

Sorry to hear you’re freaking out, I would be too. Hope it has stopped/stops soon and you are able to put your mind at ease.

Spotting, while common, is scary. I called my OB because I had cramping too and mine was red. I got sent for some blood work and discovered my progesterone was low, so they put me on a supplement. When my blood work showed my HCG levels weren’t rising fast enough, they took me in for an ultrasound. So far everything is fine and heartbeat is strong. So definitely call if you are worried, but it doesn’t mean horrible things by itself.

Thank you all for checking on me. I am still showing some brown spotting, no cramping. If I still have it the next few days I will call the Dr. but my boobs are still killing me and the dreams are still effed up so I think I am good 🙄 Love first tri! I will keep you all updated if anything does or does not happen

Everything crossed for a nice, high number!
How far along are you? Could you possibly see about an ultrasound?

Risscaboobs I believe I am about 8 weeks but I am not really sure The Drs office called last night with pre-lim results from the first draw and they scheduled an ultrasound for Monday because my numbers were so high.

I am updating for those following: I got my numbers back from the second draw. They went up but they didn’t double. Nurse wasn’t too nervous about it. Ultrasound showed something and *maybe* a flicker of a heartbeat but my dates are WAY off. They are showing me at about 5 weeks and 5 days but I got my first positive test on Sept 15. I am still spotting and left with more questions then answers at this point. I go again next week for a follow up ultrasound.

meggos, I'm sorry that today's US was not exactly what you had hoped for. My dates were wonky with my son and I had spotting. I ended up measuring almost a week behind where I thought I should be and he came the day before his due date. I hope the week flies by for you and your next ultrasound is more conclusive.
