I'm still spotting.

LindsayM · February 2011

So, I had that light flow for three days that I thought was my period, then on the day it ended and I was only spotting is when I got a positive HPT. It's been 4 days and I'm still spotting. It's really light, brown, and seems to be getting a little less and less each day. I stayed off of my feet for most of the day yesterday & today and am drinking lots of water.

It just has me a little upset and worried. I'm trying to be positive and happy..

Also, we're postponing traveling back home one more day, we'll leave tomorrow. I just don't feel like 5+ hours in a car right now.

And that concludes my emotional, hormonal pity party. Just needed to get that out somewhere. On a better note, I'm going to go take a nap. Hope you girls are having a good weekend!

I hope it stops soon! I've heard spotting is normal though.

It could be a the implantation blood just coming out slowly, but I would call your OB when you get back home, just to be safe. I hope it stops soon.

Rest up and call your doctor just to be sure. I hope it stops!

I spotted all of week 6 and 7 and I know it's nerve wracking, but as long as it's brown it's totally normal! I actually didn't even call my doc Embarrassed

Hang in there.

I hope the spotting stops soon to give you some peace of mind! I had spotting right before my BFP and at 7 and 11 weeks with Ryan and everything turned out fine!

Ditto wildcat, I've always heard if its brown blood it usually fine. I would be worrying too I'm sure, even though I know its common. I hope it stops soon!

Don't feel shy about calling your OB when you're concerned. If I were in your situation, I would call (and I did, when I was in your situation). It could very well be nothing, but it could be something and I thought that it was better to know -- and have my OB know -- what's going on. When I called, it was also brown blood. I got an ultrasound, which was really cool! And if I hadn't called, I wouldn't have known what was going on. I hope it's nothing!

Thanks so much for the support, everyone! Especially those of you who did have spotting, too - it eases my fears a bit to know people have had the same thing with no problems.

I had a nap.. and now am feeling a bit better.

Glad you are feeling a little better. i've had a little brown spotting in week 6 and yesterday. It was so minor I didn't worry about it. I will mention it to my OB tomorrow at my appt. I know some spotting is normal and brown is usually nothing. In your case I would call your doctor when you get home just to be on the safe side.

try not to worry too much linds!!! i had spotting...like bright red at 6 weeks. I was hysterical. i called my dr. and she said that as long as i don't have severe cramping, and as long as im not soaking through a pad per hour, that it's fine. I was like, "WHAT??? A PAD PER HOUR??? YEAH, I'LL CALL IF I'M BLEEDING THAT MUCH!" and i think that's when a 'patient is high strung' note may have got added to my chart lol

i hope that makes you feel a little better...after i was done freaking out and thought about what she said, it really set my mind at ease. As you get further along, you'll have all sorts of cramps and pains and weird feelings, but my dr. just keeps telling me, as long as it's not severe, has me doubled over, then i'm fine.

hang in there girl Big Smile

ps. i also took a pregnancy test once a week for like 8 weeks after i got the positive one lol

I hope everything is ok Linds. Try to take it easy and not stress yourself out too much.

LindsayM · February 2011

Thanks so much for the reassuring words, everyone! I'm still seem to be spotting less and less everyday and my temp is still up, so I'm starting to feel better about things!

So glad your feeling better. I've been reading a pregnancy book I picked up last week and the author said she spotted almost her entire pregnacy.
