brown blood normal??

I am about 5 1/2 weeks along. I just found out I was pregnant this past Wednesday. I had spotted brown blood about a week ago for about 4 days (it did have some red too) and I thought it was my period but it was lighter than normal and didn't really have cramping. On Thursday I started to spot brown again but only when I wipe. There are occasional small clots. Has anyone ever had this happen and everything be okay? I am really worried because we had a miscarriage/ ectopic pregnancy back in Oct.

Dr just called and told me that my numbers were not rising how they were suppose to and that I could expect to start miscarrying within a few days. That makes 2 miscarriages within 6 months.

I went ahead and called the on call Dr this morning. He said pretty much the same thing all of you said, that everything was probably ok but he did put me on bed rest until I could get into my Dr for tests.

Thank you all so much! My doctor knows about the first few days but he closes his office at noon on Friday so I haven't been able to talk to him again. He put me on progesterone and is going to check my levels again on Monday. They were 170 on Wed which he said was Ok...hoping to see them in the thousands by Monday! Thank you all again...I'm trying not to stress or worry to much but its so hard!!

It's normal. That first one was probably implantation bleeding, and the second might have been leftover. As long as it's not heavy, bright! And there's no cramping, you're probably fine.

I have experienced this with all of my pregnancies unfortunately. this is my 5th pregnancy but I lost the first two. I spotted for almost 11 weeks with my first son and off and on for 8 or so weeks with my second son. I have experienced some spotting with this pregnancy also. It is terrifying and I want to tell you  not to worry but you will until you see the heartbeat the first time and then for the rest of your pregnancy until your little one is in your arms and then you will worry in a whole new way. I pray all goes well and you have a healthy pregnancy but you should also call and talk to your doc for some testing.  Good luck hun.

I'm currently 13w pregnant and early on I spotted pink and brown only when I wiped. My doctor said minor spotting is nothing to worry about as long as there is no cramping and heavy bleeding. Doc said spotting in 1st trimester is fairly common. Good luck and speak to your doc!!!
