experiencing brown discharge 6wks pregnant

[realmom]

In Oct. 2005 I had a miscarriage ending in a D&C.  I first experienced brown discharge. I am 6 weeks along now and I am having brown discharge again! I am cramping a little but its very mild.  I am so scared it will end up in a miscarriage again!! I contacted my dr. and she is having me do a hormone level check and will do an US if the levels are high enough.  I just wondered if anyone has had a similar experience??

I had a m/c last may and got pregnant again in december.  i spotted at 7 weeks this time around after sex.  From what I understand this is a really sensitive time and you can experience some spotting.  Relax and try to take it easy.  I rested for 3 days straight and didnt do anything too crazy for two weeks.  I am now just about 16 weeks!!!!  Best wishes, I will be thinking of you.

With my last PG, I had spotting due to a subchorionic bleed in my uterus. I was told to refrain from sex, heavy lifting, excercise or anything thayt may put strain on my body. Hopefully the spotting will go away and you will go on to have a healthy 9 months. Good luck and sticky baby dust to you*******************

I am currently 7 weeks and exerienced brown spotting for about 8 days in a row around 4-5 weeks. My doctor, books, and medhelp friends said that it can be perfectly normal. As long as it remains closer to brown and not bright red, without cramping. I know this can be a stressful time, but just remember to try and relax. If you are relaxing, eating healthy and all-in-all taking care of yourself then you just have to trust that that is all you can do. Enjoy the day!

I had a M/C last Oct also.I got pg again in Dec and at 6-7 1/2 weeks I was spotting brown off and on.My Dr started me on Progesterone and my spotting stopped completely.You might just want to have your Progesterone checked just in case. Now I am 13w and doing great.I wish you and your lil peanut the very best!

That is exactly what is happening to me right now. I had a m/c about 6 months ago at about 5 wks. I am 6 wks now and am really scared that the same thing is going to happen again. Last week I thought I had my period but it acted a lot like it did when i had a m/c, so I decided to go to the doctor. They did the blood test and confirmed that I was pg. Now this week i have had a brown discharge for the last four days - it's not much, just when wiping - but after what happened last time, I'm afraid it might happen again... and i can't get back in to see my doctor for 2 more weeks. Any advice?

Guys please help, i need some advice!!!

I had the same thing happen to me just in January at 7 weeks.  I called my doctor's nurse and she said if you just had sex it is probably from that, your cervix is very sensitive at this time.  So it continued for a week...the brown spotting of blood (no red blood).  I called back for reassurance one week later.  She again said I don't think I would worry brown blood is old blood, but if you want to come in and have an u/s to see the heartbeat you can.  I said it would ease my mind.  So I went in and sure enough the heart was not beating.  I had been having a miscarriage for a week!  They classified it as a missed miscarriage.  I guess it means maybe my cervix was not opening enough to really let the blood out.  I hope this is not what is happening to you, but I would go in and have tests done asap.  Good luck to you, I know it is scary!

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knows anything about what i'm going through now. i had a m/c about a year ago and finally got pregnant -  i am about 7 weeks and went to the dr. two days ago. my u/s seemed to look ok - we were not able to hear the heartbeat yet, but the dr. did point out an early heartbeat on the u/s. i was a little worried b/c during my last pregnancy we were able to hear heartbeat at this time, but then heartbeat got slower and baby didn't grow so i was told prob. going to m/c. this time though the dr. did say e/t looks ok. i am also on progesterone this time around to help the pregnancy along. but once dr. took a look at blood work saw that progesterone looking good, but hcg levels went down (i think was s/t like 1600 week before and now 1300). he said looks like i'm going to m/c again. has this ever happened to anyone and they had a healthy pregnancy and baby - levels went up again or s/t or does anyone know anything about this. i'm very nervous and the dr. isn't very hopeful and says nothing for me to do. please advise. thanks.

I just found this website and I love it!  THank-you all for helping me out with your experience!  I went to the dr.she did the levels (around 16,000) and she did an u/s she said she could see a yolk sac.  I am actually in the middle of my fifth week.  Everything I have read says heavy bleeding and severe cramping when you miscarry, so I have another question can you pass tissue without heavy bleeding and cramping?  I passed something in the toilet tonight but no cramping no bleeding?? it looked like tissue so fished it out?  I am so confused with this pregnancy and still scared!  but I have controlled my stress level!  and I decided that what will be will be!  but it doesn't make it any easier when you children are praying every night for 3 million babies to come to our house!!  THats hard!Thanks again to you all for your advice!  it has truly helped me!

[realmom]

Its really difficult when you have been trying for a long time to have a baby and then go through a miscarriage and then possibly another!  I am there right now!  I decided that I am not going to go in to the dr. until my first ob app.on the 5th of april!  I don't know what is going on in there but everything i've read about a misscarriage is heavy bleeding and severe cramping.  so i am just going to try not to worry myself over something that I cannot control!  I will be devastated of coarse b/c this would be our second miscarriage in a row.  I am getting older and my children are 4 and 6  and I didn't ever want that big of gap between them!  so it makes it so hard for me!  Hang in there!  I know how you are feeling!  I want this baby more than anything in the world right now!  Maybe God has other plans for me right now??

Hello Everyone, I just found out i am pregnant without even a clue. We've been trying to conceive for about 1.5 yrs now. I was actually going to have some fertility testing done at the hospital, when low and behold, the preop nurse said i couldn't have the Hsg procedure done b/c my pregnancy test was very positive. I couldn't believe the news b/c i had what i thought was a full normal red period and that slowed to a finish with a brown tint. (this was day 7 of my cycle) on Fri.when all this occurred.  They drew blood and my hcg level was 460, but progesterone was 7.5. The doc says the progesterone was a little low and i'm now taking prometrium. The problem is i'm wiping dark brown everytime i go to the bathroom. I repeated the HCG today and it was 778. My question is "Is it ok to have this spotting as long as the hcg continues to rise?" Also, i had a pap smear right before i ovulated this cycle, could the pap have affected my cervix? I'm just really scared b/c i never experienced any spotting at all w/ my son 5yrs ago. My husband is so excited, but i won't let myself be happy b/c i'm so scared that something is wrong!  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi.... i am experiencing what yesterday was pinkish discharge and didnt continue, but today have started getting discharge with a brownish tinge to it, am I m/c.  I am 5-6 weeks, I had an US last night which showed what would be classed normal but i have to wait a week or so to do another because they couldn't see the heartbeat.  is this because it's early to see?   There are so many different cases being mentioned, I hope I fall into one of the categories that came out on the better side.  However, I am very scared, I have miscarried twice since having my son 21 months old.  Worried now, because I don't want too many years between my children.

Hello everyone. Pls help me. Im 12 weeks pregnant. Last week I went to the ER for abdominal pains and they gave me a pelvic exam and well they said everything was fine. Well low and behold 4 hrs after getting home I started to bleed, not soaking thru pads but it was bright red then it was a lil clotting. Now it a week later and im not bleeding  but everytime I wipe its brown. I contacted my doctor all week long and he said that the baby was fine from the ultrasound that i had and i even got pics  yippe...the heart beat was 152 which is good. He tells me if im going to miscarry there is nothing he could do and he also said because im in my 12 week it is highly unlikely. As anyone gone thru this ? I dont know what to do and im soooooo nervous

Hello! Hi, I'm nineteen years old and just found out that I'm expecting a little one in about eight months.  I'm over the intial shock and the excitment is starting to take over, but I do have a concern.  I went to the emergency room about three days ago because when I wiped I noticed a brownish/pinkish discharge, and my first OB oppiontment isn't until the 18th.  Well they said if I wasn't soaking maxi pads then don't worry about it. It went away but now it's back, and this time it was just whitish pink discharge. I don't have any idea what it is and I'm really worried. Should I be?

Hi guys,

I am 5wk/3d pregnant with our 1st; I don't feel any kind of irritation, no cramps/blotting or morning sickness like most people says.  I am not feeling that tired either, I get hungry often, and don't like to eat much sweets stuff.  Last two days I noticed very very tiny spot of light brown discharge on my panties....probably happens once a day.  My nurse told me I am perfectly ok.  My Progestrone level is low, so I am on Prometrium 200mg.  Is it normal not to feel any kind of discomfort?  I am very tensed ! :(

I am 4w6d.  I was on clomid and had an IUI.  On day 13 dpo my hcg was 163 and my progesterone was 55.  On day 15 dpo my hcg was 484 and my progesterone was 85.  On the evening of day 14 past ovulation (April 18) I started to spot pink, then one episode of red and finally, brown discharge.  It improves when I rest, but when I am moving around it is very slight...more when I wipe and only three times did it slightly appear on my panty liner.  I had a miscarriage last year at 11 weeks - Turner's Syndrome and I just do not know what to make of the brown spotting (had no spotting last year).  The nurse at the doctor's office said that it can be perfectly normal and the only thing to go on at this point is the climbing hcg levels.  I go back Monday for a repeat.  I also track my temps and they have remained >98 degrees.  Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

One more thing does my progesterone seem oddly high at this point?

Hi,  I am experiancing exactly what you are.  I had a miscarry a few months ago that resulted in a DNC.  Now that I am prego again, I have had spotting and brown discharge and cramping.  I am only 7 weeks so I am a little scared.  My hormone levels are going up nicley though.  My last miscarry was at exactly 3 months so I have a few more months of concern.  I know what you are going through.  Good luck

Hi, I had mc in Feb and am pregnant again. I am supposed to be  wks, but had u/s done at 5w5d and there was nothing in my uterus. I also started spotting brown that day and have been spotting for 8 days now. I went three times for my HCG levels to be checked and they are doubling appropriately.  Have to go for another u/s on Monday. Doctor thinks i am not as far along as I think.  Before she got the blood results back, she told me it was most likely a mc, but small possiblity of being ectopic. She said my HCG levels were too low to see anything but by Mon should be high enough to see what is going on.
This happen to anyone else?

Hello, Everyone, I have been reading some of your stories and from what I have seen, being pregnant is a journey that could drive one nuts and happy at the same time.

I am 31 and I recently found out I was pregnant. I feel the HAPPIEST woman on earth. But my dream was crushed. The first week I had found out I was pregnant; I started spotting brown/redish blood. It lasted for about 5 days, I went to the ER and the doctor performed a pelvic exam and drew my blood so he came back telling me I was only 2-3 wks pregnant. I then continued to spot for that week, he ordered more hormone test and the numbers kept rising. It wasn’t until I went to my first pre-natal visit that I started to panic. I told the doctor what had happened and she sent me for an ultrasound. The ultrasound came back and they told me that there was no indication that I was pregnant. At this point my heart just dropped. They said I had a miscarriage. I had a blood test done on the Saturday of the previous week. The ultrasound was performed on Monday of the following week. The nurse didn't have the results of my blood test when she gave me the ultrasound diagnostic. Supposedly the ultrasound was performed too early. I then went to my family practitioner and he said that the test ran on the Saturday before, had doubled, that there was no way I could miscarriage. This happened on Monday and I tell you I feel so devastated because I don't know what to believe. According to the lasts test ran I am still pregnant. Please write me back if any of you have heard of a similar case.

This is my first time posting to the internet. I am currently 2 months pregnant. I had my first prenatal visit on May 8th. Everything was fine. The same day that I returned home from the doctor I noticed a brown discharge. I then started to experience reddish blood with tiny blood clots. My doctor thinks this is happeneing because this is around the time I would normally have my period. Has anyone else experienced this/

A week ago I had 3days of bleeding but it was very light and it was brown.  On the 4th day I bled a ton.  So, for 2 days I was bleeding very very heavy.  About 5 days after that,  my discharge began to have a pinkish brown tint to it. It has been doing that for 4 days now. I took 2 pregnancy tests on the 3rd day of bleeding brown blood and it came out negative.  Anyone have any ideas of what could be going on?
