brown spotting

[getagoldtoof]

Hi I'm 6 weeks pregnant and have had brown spotting for 6 days now. It startrd off after having sex just brown tinged cm and then two days later was dark brown almost black blood. It has only been when I wiped, but today a splodge came out in my knickers when I ran for the bus. Sorry for gruesome descriptions.

Going to epu tomorrow. Don't think there's any hope.

I am feeling very blue. Don't know what to do. Had to tell my boss today so I could get time off work, and that has made it feel so real. I feel so sad and up and down all the time.

I have been taking the clearblue digital tests and they have gone up to 3+, it's just giving me hope. I can't carry on like this!

If it's a mc, do they normally take this long to get going? It's torturous.

I'm sorry for melodrama - I had a mc in july and it's all a bit overwhelming.

Don't give up hope just yet, I had very much similar experience and she's 30 now!! With all my other pregnancies I had some bleeding but the miscarriages had cramping pain also. So although this could be a mc, it could a healthy pregnancy "bedding" in x good luck X ps you might need a transvaginal scan if you are only 6 weeks to get a definite picture x

hi get
from my own experience its hard to judge. I have had bleeding with my successful pregnancy as well as with mc.
At this stage there is not much to do but wait. The epu will be able to give you a much better idea after scans.

Really hope it all goes well for you tomorrow.

I also had this nasty brown slime he's 14 now. And my mum had it with me

No advice, just sending love and hugs

Thank you. Hugs is what I need. And I need to know either way. So nervous about epu. I'll be sat outside waiting for it to open in the morning.

And yes - brown slime is exactly what it is! It's horrible. I wish I knew why it was happening, maybe low progesterone or something.

I had brown spotting at 8 weeks and it turned out just to be old implantation blood that had got stuck somewhere. 20 weeks now and no probs since (touch wood).
Good luck. Going to epu is no fun but hopefully they will be able to reassure you.

I had brown spotting with a Normal preg who is now my son! Word of warning, your pg is very early, so even if they don't see a heartbeat make sure they give you a second scan in a week. I was told it was a failed preg which was bollocks. Second scan showed all was normal. I know others who have had the same experience.

Brown blood is usually old blood, so as long as you do not get any bright red blood I would be hopeful still.
I hope it goes well tomorrow at EPU, I will be thinking of you x

It's an awful feeling seeing blood, particularly if you have MC before. I've had it go both ways, bled in first trim with both my boys but have also had it as the start of a MC. I really hope you get good news tomorrow.

Epu visit went swimmingly. They saw the sac had grown really well, and there was a yolk sac as expected. That is all in line with my dates, alyhough not exactly in line with lmp. Will keep fingers crossed the bleedimg stops, although I don't know when you can start feeling excited about pregnancy? It's all so confusing. Anyway, today I'm happy, that's the main thing. Thanks for the reassurance XX

hope it goes smoothly from now on. I think first trimester after a prev MC is really tough. If some support would help you get through it there's a nice pregnancy after MC thread on the pregnancy board where everyone will understand your anxieties.

good news get hopefully it settles down and the next months fly in.
