Slightly brown discharge at 5 weeks

by anjelique, Jan 26, 2005 12:00AM
Hi guys its me again. The women's centert hat I went to would not give me the blood test and told me to come back two weeks after I have missed my cycle. Technically I am five weeks at present. I am going to the doctor on saturday but my concern is this. Yesterday my discharg was a slight brown tint. It did it slightly  and I mean slightly today when I wiped after using the restroom. Is that normal? It looks like discharge from the very end of your cycle. It doesn't look close to blood at all i am just curious if anyone else has experienced this? Thanks in advance guys.

For some people this is perfectly normal and for others it's trouble. I wish I could tell you for sure. You will have to be seen by a doctor and have an u/s to tell for sure. Good luck, I hope you have a great pregnancy.

A friend of mine had brown blood in the early trimester of her pregnancy with blood clots and her baby was born fine with no problems.  It scared her to death.  Sometimes the blood is implantation bleeding or old blood.  Usually old blood has a brown tint to it.  Go to this web-site for additional encouragement.  I wish you well on your pregnancy.

I had the same problem 2 weeks ago at 5w2d.  I called my dr. and they said that my progesterone was low at 8 and it should be over 20.  They gave me a supplement and I went in for U/S at 6w3d and the baby is fine, we saw the heartbeat.  I am now 7w3d and am still so worried about everything. Good luck to you.

My MD told me brown blood is usually old blood that has not made its way out yet; ie you are probably not actively bleeding anymore, which is good.

I'm just 8 weeks and have had brown spotting for 10 days. My doc says not to worry but I still do. Mine has changed from brown to red & back to brown again, it comes and goes but seems to be at the nd of the day. Maybe its being busy and lifting my other child around! I can sympathise coz I can't think about much else and keep going to the loo to check ever hour. I haven't had any cramping pains have you?

I am 5 weeks pregnant and I have brown discharge with mild cramps on and off.  I just want to know if that is possible sign of misscarage.  This is my first pregnancy and I thought I would not be able to have kids so this is very exciting for me.

rather be safe than sorry... any sign of "red" blood, especially in the first 10 weeks, go have it checked immediately. its a 50/50. could be nothing...could be a m/c... have it checked!...
