Bleeding! Need advise

Hi there ladies.
Apologies in advance if I am very direct.

So I am currently six weeks pregnant.
Last week after my partner and I had sex I started to bleed a little and it was a bright red at first and turned into a darker read, it was very little and stopped almost immediately. No pain at all, went to the doctor and he said not to worry.

Today being the 16th I went to the toilet and noticed brown spotting/discharge.
Still no pain and my pregnancy symptoms still quite strong.
This is my second pregnancy I have one child already but I have had three miscarries in the past. Should I be worried?

So happy to hear everything's ok!  They told me Tuesday they didn't do any blood at previous visit because I was considered high risk because of the bleeding (did not tell me, I'm assuming so I wouldn't stress) I don't know if you we're offered the gender blood test but it's covered on most insurances and can be taken as early as 10 weeks, it's from a site called mynatura.com, I'm tracking my results so I'll know what I'm having next week. Check it out ladies! I have a 10 year age difference and SO much has changed! So many new advances I had no clue about! Good luck to everyone!

Hey, I'm almost 13 weeks, I found out around 8 weeks, went to the hospital bc of bleeding, all they did was check for a heart rate told me if it got worse come back. I bled dark blood & a little bit clear discharge , daily for almost 3 weeks, my Dr I just seen Tuesday said as long as it's dark, it's ok . I had sex and it was bight red , Dr told me not to have sex until I stopped bleeding. I've had 3 pregnancies (this is the 4th) and 1 child. I did some research everything says dark blood is ok just not for long periods of time. If you think it's too much blood light or dark go to the hospital , better safe than sorry,  prayers going your way

I'm experiencing the same thing but when I went for my first appointment the doctor diagnosed me with a cervical polyp and that's what's causing my constant spotting he sent me for an ultrasound and the baby's heartbeat is strong  at that time I was measuring 6 weeks and 5 days today make 7 weeks I'm still worried about having a miscarriage but at least I know what's causing my bleeding for sure
Hey ladies, thank you so much for responding to me! I have an ultrasound today at 2.30pm and I have had more bloods done he said he isn't to worrird but wants to make sure. But I will definitely let you know how I go
