Brown Discharge -__-

This brown discharge is going to stress me out I tell you! Even though my doctor told me not to worry just as long as it's not bright red... I still find it hard to not worry EVERY time I see it! It comes and goes and sometimes varies from from medium brown to light brown, to light tan, then back to normal throughout the day!

I had a my first appt (due to two ER visits the week prior) on Tuesday at 6 weeks 6 days. Ges sac, yolk sac, fetal pole and heartbeat was seen! (: When I had a scan at the ER at 5 weeks 4 days, only the ges sac & yolk sac was seen. No fetal pole or heartbeat. Which I'm reading is normal due to being so early. My HCG was 16609 at my first ER visit. I had to go back 3 days later to get my HCG rechecked & it was 38321. I'm not really sure what my HCG levels are currently. I go back in 4 weeks for all the blood work and stuff.

I'm just trying to remain calm and get through this 1st trimester. My doctor also said the brown discharge is possibly coming from a small hematoma that was seen next to the ges sac from my ER scan. But again, he assured me that everything would be fine. And that once a heartbeat is seen, the chances of a miscarriage goes down to less than 3%. Uhhh, I'm just trying to hang in there!

I have brown discharge as well and the dr gave progesterone and ordered bed rest.  However he said that as long as it's brown it should be ok

I'm currently having the same. I have had brown discharge now for 9 days. Usually it's just dark brown when I wipe. A couple times it has been reddish brown and just a little heavier but still not a lot. It has been freaking me out like crazy. I don't got to my ob until oct 7th.

Ohh gosh yes. I'm 7w 3d and I previously miscarried on Aug. 5th and this pregnancy I'm spotting brown since a few days ago. It freaked me out for two days straight until I gave in and called my ob office. They said with MUCH positive assurance that everything is fine and normal. I felt a lot better after that, though every time I see or feel the spotting, it always shocks me somehow ! Lol I just want to get to the second trimester already. I want my baby here and safe!
