Take it easy (as in rest!) and are you taking progesterone? I would ask for it tomorrow before you get your results, just to be safe. It won't harm anything.

The best of luck to you, I am sure you will be fine!  I hope when these children are born and get older they realize all the heartache they put us through, but most importantly how much we wanted them LOL!  I started a journal the last time I was preg before I lost that one at 14 wks, and again with this last one...and you know what, I plan on keep writing in it until one day he/she can read how much we loved them!

Try to relax and see what the dr. says.  Tomorrow you can post about how you worried for nothing :)

Hi there,
hoping this helps ease your mind too...I actually started bleeding at 9-11 weeks prego. Bright red, and it seemed like a lot. I was at work when it started and actually went to the emergency room. The dr.'s didn't really seemed too concerned since I was only 9 weeks along-there was nothing to do but "wait and see". It was the strangest thing, but then the bleeding stopped by the next day. Emily's 7 and a half yrs old now. Things like that are enough to worry us moms like crazy, but can often turn out to be nothing in the end! I wish you the best! "try not to worry" ;)

I am so sorry and I know how hard this is.  I started spotting on Tues. at 5 wks and 1 day, and was worried sick eventhough I knew this could be normal.  It went away, then last night spotted a little darker and a little more, then I really saw it.  We went to the ER last night and in my case it was a blighted ovum, meaning the baby wasn't even there, just the sac.  If I had got my #'s done it would have showed everything was going well since the hormones were still rising.
I AM NOT saying this is what is happening to you!  I am just now realizing that as common as it is, I knew something was going wrong.  I still have no cramping and barely really bled except for that time when I wiped.  The only reason I am telling you this is that as hard as it is for me to accept right now, I am glad I ended up finding out.  If I hadn't have gone to the dr. and my spotting stopped now I would be thinking I was still preg and waiting for my next dr.s appointment in a couple of weeks.
After a long night of crying I have realized it is better to know now so early then later.
PLEASE realize that this can be TOTALLY NORMAL, but for your piece of mind, you can go to the dr and see what they say.
I really hope the best for you and just hope and pray that you are fine...I just know EXACTLEY your fear right now...I posted all week about my spotting and was right in your shoes.  Good luck and please keep us posted as I will be thinking of you!

I'd still call in the a.m. to let them know so if the doctor wants to see you, he/she can squeeze you in rather than tell him/her/the office when you go in for your hcg draw...maybe you'll get a bonus ultrasound!  Good luck!

your numbers will go up.  look up on the internet how common it is for women to spot with brown discharge in early pregnancy, just like everything4reason said, it is old blood.

I had red bleeding and cramps at 9 weeks followed by 1 week of brown discharge, and am curently still pregnant and 25 weeks tomorrow. Brown is old blood, just try not to get to stressed out about it (as if that's possible) and think happy thoughts
