On and off spotting red and brown blood in 5th week.

I've been spotting on and off since implantation. I've been pregnant one before by IVF. This time it was a happy accident lol. I'm trying not to be stressed and relax but everytime i think its over the spotting starts again. My doc gave me an injection and a pill that i take twice a day to help fixate the pregnancy. He said its all that can be done. Even now the spotting continues....  Did anyone else have or is also having this problem.

Btw I'm 31.  Have an 10 month old. And can only deliver via c section.

I'm 23 yes old , I have the same problem
Before telling my doctor and confairm my pregnency I thought it was the period , but then when it was off I did the test and I was pregn.
When I told my doctor she said its normal unless its large amount, it may means miscarriage
Its just the baby trying to implant himself -herself in the wall of your vagaina
And I'm not taking any pills beside the folic acid

It could me a hematoma to be honest with you. I'm 6ish - 7 weeks along, and I went to the ER for bleeding, I was told "it could be a moscarriage. You'll have to wait. I went for a follow up, and they found a small SCH and that's what all my bleeding is from. And i only bled for about 3-4 hours and I've been spotting brown since then. Baby #2 is fine with a great heart beat. I understand being paranoid, I had a miscarriage 2 years before my son. But #2 is perfectly fine. I'll just be spotting for a few more weeks hopefully as long as my tear hasn't gotten bigger!

I am only 25. Had a miscarriage in June and this one seems to be perfect. Even had an ultrasound at 7 weeks and everything is fine. I have been spotting ofd an off for the last couple weeks. Im 8 1/2 weeks now. My ob has reassured mw several times cuz I'm a bit paranoid after losing my last one. Spotting is completely normal as long as its not heavier than a normal period and severe cramping doesn't accompany it.
