Very very light spotting - should I worry?

I'm about 6 weeks gone. Still haven't had a mw appointment- waiting on them.
I had a teeny bit of light brown spotting around the time af was due. I had a very very small amount of very light brown last night and this morning.

Should I worry?
I have a vague memory of a bit of spotting last time and gp saying not to worry if it wasn't red.

WWYD?

I would call your GP TBH. It may be nothing, but it might not be. I'd want to get checked out. At 6 weeks, you should be able to get an EPU referral for bleeding (some won't see you before 6 weeks as they can't scan you before then anyway).

It could be an implantation bleed. It's not uncommon to spot early on. If you're sure of your dates I wouldn't be too concerned.

A few weeks down the line and if you get more than a tiny bit of spotting or any pain - then you should worry about ectopics / miscarriage.

I phoned gp who is sorting out the paper work for me to go to EPU. Can't go today as they do a drop in clinic 9-11 so will have to wait till Monday.
Am meant to be starting back at work after school on Monday so will see how weekend goes. If it's going to go wrong then there's nothing can be done :(

Good. It's a great way to put your mind at rest. Good luck.
