Brown Spotting.....How long before Miscarriage?

[jess81play]

I just started having brown spotting.  It started 2 night's ago.  I only see it when I wipe (sometimes).  And it's only there maybe twice a day.  Just a very small small amount.  Since I already have a 60% chance of miscarriage I'm for sure this is the brown spotting before the marjor bleeding that comes along with a miscarriage.  I was wondering how long will I spot (only a few times a day) before the real stuff happens?  This waiting is driving me crazy.  I keep going to the bathroom to check to see if I see red.  Other than the few brown spots I am fine but I know I will miscarriage soon.  If anyone who has went through this that had brown spotting before, when will the red come?

It doesn't necessarily mean your going to have a m/c, so i hope that's the case.  But when I m/c'd, I had brown spotting for 5 days, then one day of nothing, then the next day was full on bleeding and cramping.  I also had mild cramping for about 3 weeks prior (didn't even know I ws pregnant until going to the ER for the bleeding and cramping).  My spotting was also a small amount, just wore a pantiliner.  Then 2 days after the bleeding and cramping started I passed the fetal tissue.  I went to the ER the day after the bleeding and cramping started, because the day it started was Christmas and I really didn't know if this was just a heavy period or what.  But at the ER they took my hcg levels and did an u/s. So that might be an option for you if it gets to that point.

Wit my mc...i spotted for 2-3 days....then had full on bleeding.

With my second pregnancy, which was full term.....i also had spotting for 2 days....and then it stopped and I went on to give birth 9 mo later.

hang in there....there is still HOPE!!

Thanks ladies!!  Just all signs for me so not sound good.  I am hoping maybe it just weird spotting and I go to my ultrasound next Thursday and see everything is fine!  That would be great!  I am just scared to death of a miscarriage.  I had one about 9 years ago.  I woke up in the middle of the night from cramps and bleeding.  Had a horrible time at the ER, ended up with a D & C.  It was scary and I don't want to go through it again.  Thanks again ladies!!

How do you know that you have a 60% chance of a miscarriage?

I had a miscarriage last summer and it all started with bad cramps and some spotting and a few hours later the bleeding started. and it continued for 3 days until I passed all of it.  With INTENSE cramping.  You don't always need to have a D&C, I had a natural miscarraige and that was much easier to heal than a D&C.  My periods returned like clockwork afterwards.

However, the spotting doesn't mean that you will have a miscarriage, I spotted a little bit with this pregnancy one night and it has been great so far.
I hope that this is just old blood and that you don't have a mc

Thank again ladies!!  

Mumita ~ My doctor told me she belives I have a 60 % chance of a miscarriage.  She said when she is pretty positive a patient is going to miscarry she will say 90%.  At least she didn't tell me that!!  My spotting has stopped.  I saw a little on my tissue only 3 times.  Hopefully everything will be great!!  Thanks!!
