light brown discharge

I am 6 weeks pregnant, and I woke up this morning with a light brown discharge, it was very little, but I was worring about if this could be a sign of a problem. Can intercourse cause this?

I am 3 weeks pregnant, and my fiance was fingering me, which caused me to bleed. I've had cramping and the next day light brown discharge. Could that mean I miscarriage?

I had the exact same thing happen when I was pregnant with my son around the same time 6-7 wks.  I paniced and went to ER & they checked me, said they had no idea what is was & I should be fine.  It never happened again & my son is now 9.  Don't worry I am sure it is nothing.

You should always consult with your ob-gyn with any unusual discharge.  This may be an early sign of miscarriage.  I had a miscarriage on 10/17/06 at 9 weeks pregnant and I started having a brownish discharge on 9/29/06, immediately went to see my Dr. and I was told I was have a threatened miscarriage.
