17pdo still spotting - help!

HJ82 · 11/10/2018 12:15

Hopefully someone will reply to me! I'm now 17dpo and I can't get apt with dr for weeks so they don't know I'm PG. I'm still spotting brown. Not much. But some intermittent. I realise this is common but I'm worried my progesterone is low and it could cause MC. Can anyone offer advise?
I spot every cycle BTW at least 4 days before AF. I still feel like AF is coming! Did clear blue digital and saying still pregnant 2-3 weeks. So HCG levels must be ok...

Where do you live? I would call your midwife or the early pregnancy unit to get checked out. Hope your ok can be a worrying time xx

I called my gp but they won't help me. Maybe I should call nhs helpline. I'm in London. I don't want to go to emergency if this is a very common thing. It's very early on and don't want to make a big deal. I know many women spot. I certainly don't have a midwife and no one knows I'm even pregnant as I'm only 3 weeks. Could implantation spotting last 4 days? I've had it since 13dpo. Only a tiny bit but still enough to worry as we've been trying for years and this is the first time I've ever been PG

How many days are you passed ovulation now? remember to add on 2 weeks, so at 13dpo means you are 4weeks. Have you made a booking app the midwife yet? What did the gp tell you to do? I had an early mc last month just over 4 weeks they took bloods then took more blood 2 days later but my hgc levels dropped so knew I was going to mc.

Sorry to hear that 😔 I can't even get an apt with my gp, let alone a midwife! I'm 17dpo so almost 3 weeks since fertilisation. My last cycle was 33 days as I had ivf the month before. So if I'm still on that pattern my period would actually be due tomorrow. It's all a bit confusing as my cycle isn't it's usual 28 days. Anyway, I am worried the spotting could lead to AF but clear blue test this morning says 2-3 weeks! So hcg seems to be on track... I'm just concerned my progesterone could be low and this causing spotting, which could ultimately cause a MC. Maybe I should just go to early pregnancy clinic walk-in at hospital to get checked. No harm in that.

You could go to the walk in, you are better to get check, I called out of hours when I started to bleed and they told me to go to a and e I felt so stupid going for that but they were lovely. Hope you get seen soon to put your mind at ease. I’m sure all will be ok xxx
