Just looking for experiences, hand hold, anything. I'm about 10.5 weeks. I've been spotting constantly for 4 weeks. It's really varied, sometimes pink mucus and barely any of it. Sometimes brown mucusy discharge. Sometimes a patch of brown blood in my underwear. It's not been bright red, although today looked more pinky red again. I notice it most after a bm or being sick. I've only had patches in my underwear miminally. I'm worried sick to say the last. I've had 2 scans, both ok and no reason for bleeding? but that was nearly 2 and half weeks ago. I have another scan on monday. Has anyone gone through spotting for this long? I just want to know what's going on. No one has checked my cervix, which I thought they would. I'm a mess currently, I've cried on and off all day. I keep thinking this is probably a missed miscarriage failing to start. I just wanted to hear experiences as everyone I've spoken to has only had spotting for a few days.

@Moandy I'm in almost the same situation. 3 week of constant spotting brown, pink and then bright red. Only when I wipe. Then today had quite a few clots but then bleeding seems to have calmed down a lot. I also had a scan a week ok and couldn't see a reason for the bleeding. Which has stressed me even more now that there's more blood. Currently 8+4. Completely agree with everything you're saying. I rang Epu today and they just said to wait a week and take another test. So stressful. Sorry to hear you're in the same situation x

@Moandy and @charpley162, so sorry to hear that you’re going through this. I’ve been through it too twice, with different outcomes both times.
The first time I had spotting start at around 6 weeks, mainly pink discharge after a bm, never bright red but every single day. Had a couple of scans at epu and my cervix examined and could see no reason at all for the bleeding.
After another scan at 11 weeks where all looked well, the bleeding suddenly got heavier a few days later - no pain but bright red and more like start of a period, and after waiting a couple of days for another scan at the epu I found out I had had a mmc, with baby stopping growing on the day my bleeding got heavier.
We were devastated and desperate to try again - fell pregnant pretty much as soon as we could start trying and spotting started again but literally a couple of days after my positive test this time so at about 4 weeks. Although a scan at about 6 weeks showed a heartbeat, I just assumed it was all over, so went for some scans between 6 and 12 weeks but was just expecting bad news every time. Baby kept growing though, and this time the spotting started to slow down by about 16 weeks, and stopped completely at around 20 weeks. He’s now a happy, healthy 10 month old - had growth scans after 24 weeks but all was well and he was born on his due date.
So it can have a happy ending, even if it goes on for week and weeks. I really hope it goes well for both of you - I know how it feels, I was obsessed with checking my knickers and the toilet roll right up until he was here, and it was such an anxious time, but you will get there. x

@MrsM134 yeh I feel like that, constantly checking myself in the toilet. So sorry to hear what you have been through. I have had two losses this year, but they have been nothing like this. Which is why I'm so confused. It feels like I've had a light period for 3 weeks. I suppose it's just a waiting game x
