Spotting During Pregnancy

[Dolce2008]

Hello everyone, Im currently 8 and a half weeks pregnant, I have had two previous miscarriages over four years ago i was in a bad relationship at the time and miscarried and ended up having to D and Cs with no answer as to why i miscarried, Now im in a great relationship for over three years and so excited to be expecting but terrified im gonna miscarry again. I have PCOs and gallbadder disease with no stones currently, was going for surgery to have gallbladder removed when found out i was pregnant, I was seeing my gyno from weeks 3 through 7 watching hcg levels, had a ultrasound on the tenth of november and saw and heard the heartbeat:) current hcg level is 129,794. the problem is i have been spotting brown and pink constantly since i found out i was pregnant, no one can give me a answer as to why im spotting like this and im so worried, i started seeing my ob on monday and they are checking pogesterone levels and we should know the results soon, havent told any family yet due to fear of miscarriage so feeling very alone in all this. having some slight queasyness on and off and lower back pain and slight cramps nothing painful just worrisome the cramps were really bad in the beginning of pregnancy but have calmed down now to more like twinges and also experiencing sometimes gas like pains, im just so worrried and looking for anyone who has been through this spottind carziness, i dont have another appointment for three weeks and im scared there wont be a heartbeat anymore and im making my self sick with worry and doctor told me there is nothing they can do till next appointment cause im only 8 weeks along. Can anyone help

Well I ended up in the er again last night but not for the pregnancy this time, i have a upper respitory infection and a virus on top of the uti and being pregnant, work wont let me leave to go home cause im a loan agent and this is our busy time thank goodness im pff tommorrow for thanksgiving. The spotting had been really really light the last few days although today i notice its a little more only when i wipe though im wondering if the coughing isnt messing with my irritated cervix hopefully thats all it is, i havent really been feeling pregnant the last few days except for light light cramps and nipple soreness hopefully the baby is still okay and this cough and stuff is whats making feel not pregnant, Ive called my dr several times but they say the same thing cant do anything till dec 14th, there really isnt any other ob options here in my town which ***** so i guess im waiting it out till the red bleeding starts or the 14th I just cant allow my self to get my hopes up even though my boyfriend thinks everything is fine with the baby thats what he keeps telling me but we will see i never made it this far into my two miscarriages so we will see ill keep u updated

THey should of done an US! HCG levels do not mean much wtihout a repeat done later to see if they are falling or rising. With that said plaes do not get discouraged though. I bleed throughout all my pregnancies except this one. I have had two mc out of 7. This time they found a subchorionic hemorage at 5 weeks 2 days. It has dissolved now though and I am doing fine. Lots do not go away till 20 weeks though. You bleed till they are gone or it just disolves into your body. Cramoinga can be from your growing uterus. I would call your dr and say you want an us an dwill not stop calling till you get one that you ahve been through to much and emotionally need to see how things are and see the heartbeat etc. My dr would not do this and I got a new one and they had me come back in two weeks and said to walk in any time I was bleeding or cramping real bad. SO all you need is an understanding dr!!!! You have been through so much and you need to know that some of your fears can be just the fears from before and masking your intuition for htis one. If it is your cervix and it is not open then do not worry! THer eis so much blood flow to that area. I am worried that you are working though! Sitting up to much pulls blood to that area and so does pelvic activity such as lifting and tugging and sex. You should be on bes rest till the bleeding stops and when it starts you should go back to bed rest! Even for cramps! That is waht I ahve always been told. Besides if you have had 2 mc before you are high risk and should take no chances. I know you might need the money but you can get assistance if it is for a medical reason. Let us know who you are! Get that US! Go to another er and say you are cramping an d bleeding! US mean more then the blood tests at this point remember!!!!! Not to scare you but to tell the dr that and INSIST for your emotional state. You need it!

Well late late Saturday night i started getting severe lower back pain and couldn't take it anymore so this morning I went to the E.R they did urine and blood test and hcg levels still look good and they also did a pelvic exam that showed my cervix is still closed but i do have a little cervical erosion or irritation, and i also have a bladder infection so they gave me something call macrobid kinda of scared to take it though, still not feeling very hopeful about the pregnancy, i wish they would have done a ultrasound im so scared of a missed miscarriage but i guess its a wait and see type of game just so stressful

I'm so sorry....It's not over yet though. My baby stopped growing at 5 weeks but I didn't miscarry until 9 weeks. We only had the initial u/s done and there wasn't a h/b. He thought I was just not as far along as I knew I was. I had no idea anything was wrong until that day.  When I was 15 I had stage 4 cervical dysplasia and I also have only one good tube plus I have bad endometriosis..I was never supposed to be able to have kids..now I have 3 beautiful Children..so either way don't give up!! Let me know what happens. *hugs*

Well to anyone still checking this post my spotting has started back up again along with the cramping and low back pain which is really bad. im haoping its just bad gas pains as im really bloated but i dont believe im gonna be so luckey, im gonna try to make it through the next two and a half hours of work then if things get worse im going to the emergency room tonight, if its not to bad i guess ill just go hame and wait for heavy bleeding to start or my next doctors appointment, I not feeling hopeful at all now that the spotting has started again, Im thinking about just giving up on ever having kids no docotrs want to do any testing seeming how im only 21 they just keep telling mt to keep trying but its just to heartbreaking i think.. Guess we will see what happens

[Dolce2008]

Thanks im kind of preparing myself for the worse just in case, Hopefully everything turns out okay for you. How far along were u when u had ur miscarriage had u heard the heartbeat yet

[steph9803]

Even when I had my m/c last year I didn't bleed at all until that day. Then it got worse by the hour. I know it's going to be a hard 3 weeks for you..I have to wait 2 to see if I'm having another missed m/c myself. I'm here if you need anyone to talk to.

[Dolce2008]

Thanks for all Your comments the spotting has almost stopped now except for a small bit of brown this morning but not alot at all, but im terrified it will came back with a vengence:(. although im not really spotting anymore im still having the occasional light cramps and lower back pain not sure if maybe its from my bad posture or falling asleep in a recliner alot lol. hopefully thats all it is but still very worried about it the next three weeks are gonna be pure torture :(

I'm currently 8wks pregnant. I have had light spotting here and there. I noticed it happens after being intimate. Had my ultrasound and everything is fine. They say your cervix is more tender and it just maybe from your cervix. Just try to relax and enjoy your pregnancy. It is out of your hands and worrying is not healthy for you. I"m sure everything is fine. Happy and healthy 9 months ahead.

My sister has spotting throughout the majority of her pregnancies and everything turns out fine! Good luck sweetie!

Spotting during early pregnancy is quite common and nothing to worry about on its own. If you want confirmation that the pregnancy is currently ok, then you should have your hormone levels checked via blood test. You have 2 tests 3-4 days apart and see if your hormone levels are increasing. If they drop at all then you would know that you are beginning to miscarry.

I wouldn't worry though, from what you said it all sounds fine.

Have a happy healthy 9 months!

Try not to worry, i know it's hard.  I have been having the same sort of thing, I am nearly 6 weeks pregnant and I too have PCOS, we have been trying for the last 9yrs after a miscarriage in 2000 and finally I'm pregnant! I have been so worried about loosing this baby and have been on websites everyday trying to make sense of why I have been spotting, please look at my pregnancy tracker and journal notes to see if our symptoms are similar.
