Brown Spotting an Cramping

[DS2]

I was wondering how many women go on with a normal pregnancy after spotting and cramping? I'm 5 weeks 2 days pregnant, this is my third pregnancy and I lost the last 2. I'm super scared to see spotting, it's super light and my cramping as gotten better since last nite. I'm also taking prometrium and I was wondering if the cramping is due to that. I know that pill has some orange color so some of the spotting color is from that, but I think that spotting is more brown then orange. I have called my Dr to let her know but I have not heard back from her yet. Any advise will be great.

brown spotting was from old blood like lorane1046 said.  You shoud not worry unless it turns red and come with clot.
I also lost twice and with the third one I got cramp and spot.  My son just turned 8 month old yesterday.  Enjoy your pg.

Oh by the way my RE told me the spotting was from old blood from the  uterus that was being expelled as it stretched:)

I had light brown spotting my first trimester and went on to have two happy & healthy twins! So good luck and hope all goes well:)
