I'm spotting brownish/ red discharge.

Hello, I'm 6 weeks and 5 days but I'm spotting a red/ brownish discharge. I hope I'm not having a miscarriage.

As long as it doesn't turn into bright red blood that's heavy like a period and there are no clots, you're likely fine. Brown blood is usually old blood.

I had a similar red/brown discharge at about the same 6wk mark. I called my Obgyn and they got me in right away to be sure all was well. I would recommend calling to report this- doesn't hurt to be sure!!! Everything was ok in  my experience but better to be on the safe side

Got to your doctor as soon as possible. Any chance you know you're blood type? RH Negative and you would need a WinRo© Or Rogam© injection.

Just make sure that it's not more than 3 or 4 pads within an hour. If it's spotting, I spotted at 7 weeks and my cervix was closed. So, it was old blood. It's always good to follow up with your doctor just in case though.

That is normal. It happened with my sister and my doctor warned me about it i just never had it. Its most likely old blood from your last period. Dont get to worried

Yeah its normal its most likely old blood like the previous user said. I didnt spot at all during these 7 weeks but if your going through more than 3 pads per hour you should just go to the doctor and have it checked out. And please do not use any tampons they create to much friction when you pull them out and can give you a really bad infection.

Its normal and sonetimes the doctor will say they see some blood but its just the blood that is dryied up inside you. But if the blood is real heavy you need to see a doctor asap.

I have a doctor's appointment on February 1st. So hopefully I can make it until then. When I noticed it I immediately took a bath/ shower. And it went away. But I'll most definitely tell my doctor when I see her.
