spotting and 8 wks pregnant
I' m 8 wks pregnant and would like to know why I have seen dark brown on my underwear. Is this something to be worried about because I am.
Thank you for putting my mind at rest. I've seen a doctor and has been given endometrin to use. I've been bleeding for the past five days and passed out small blood clots to eventually one that's 3-4 inches long! I'm hoping that it wasn't a miscarriage because this is my 3rd pregnancy and it's the first time I'm seeing this. I'm going to see my doctor and hopefully things willl be okay. I'll keep u posted and thanks very much for your help.

Hello,
After 8 weeks of pregnancy, this spotting can be due to hormonal imbalance or corpus luteum defect (the corpus luteum secretes the hormones for sustaining pregnancy till 12 weeks after which placenta takes over). In corpus luteum defects, there is increased brownish spotting and if this is the cause then you may need progesterone supplements till 12 weeks of pregnancy.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
