Is this the start of a miscarriage?

[RD15]

Evening all,

I’m currently 5weeks and 5 days pregnant. I spotted brown from 9DPO until the day after my AF would have been due and then it stopped. I got my BFP at 12DPO. The spotting stopped completely for a week and now it’s back. I’m on to day 4 of spotting- it’s mainly pale brown but now pinkish brown (sorry for the TMI).
I know there’s nothing that can be done either way, I guess I just wanted to talk or hear some experiences.
Thanks in advance xx

@RD15 I hope so. Fingers crossed it was just a one off. Did you have on off spotting during your first pregnancy?

Yeah I did. I think it stopped after about 18 weeks but it was on and off until then xxx

Every healthy pregnancy has a cyst, you can't stay pregnant in the first trimester without it. It comes from the follicle you ovulated from and provides the hormones needed until the placenta takes over in th second trimester. So it's nothing to worry about unless you have severe pain.

Would they have told me if baby wasn't measuring right at early pregnancy scan? As they never said exactly how many weeks I was just said I was around 5 that's earlier than I thought I was but they were happy to let me go and let me continue pregnancy as normal with the usual appointments and no follow ups with epu x

Not had anything when I wiped since last week however just has some now so worried all over again was only abit so don't want to phone the epu yet but why can't it just stop 😫 x

Hey there. If it’s just brown discharge again, then I would try not to worry. Obviously if it escalates or becomes red then I would phone the EPU. It keeps happening to me also, and I just try and tell myself that whatever happens, it’s out of our hands and we have no control over it. Worrying ourselves to death isn’t going to change the outcome (although I know first hand how hard it is not to). Try and distract yourself and just take each day as it comes xxx

It was literally once had nothing since no cramps etc so I'm trying not to work myself up over it can't wait to get to bloody 12 weeks then my head might stop hurting from the constant worrying lol xx

That sounds ok to me. I know what you mean. Do you have any follow up scans? Try not to worry xxx

I don't have scan now till 12 week one so a while away yet. I'll try not to sure I'll be back on here at some point fretting about something or other lol xx

Don’t be daft! If you feel like you need to seek reassurance, then please do. That’s what we’re here for. However, try to stay away from Dr Google! 😉 xx

Haha I definitely need to stay away from google! I've diagnosed myself with so many things over years 😂xx

Hi everyone just wanted to check in and see how you are getting on? I'm 11+5 now and the bleeding has stopped. 12 week scan soon!

My bleeding has stopped touch wood so far turns out I had an infection so went on antibiotics so think that could have been the cause for my spotting. 12 week scan 2 week today it's dragging hope everyone else is ok
