Constant brown spotting/discharge

[LA1986]

Hi everyone!

I am about 5.5 weeks pregnant (via IVF and taking Cyclogest - Progesterone) and since my positive test, I have been getting brown spotting more or less every day. Last year I miscarried at 6 weeks and it was the same thing but it was more reddish in colour and had some tissue along with it whereas this time I don't.

I would've been on my period now so is this related to that?

Is this normal? I'm trying to keep positive but also really scared! I have my scan on the 23rd May so it's a long wait till I find out if everything is ok.

Thank you!!!

Are you on the Jan 2020 ante natal club group? If so I'd recommend as I've just joined and there are a few of us with the same symptoms

I'm very similar to you-mc dec and had brown reddish spotting. This time around I have brown tinged mucus when I wipe. I went to my EPU yesterday and they scanned. All ok for now (6 weeks exactly) and the midwife said 80% of pregnant women experience exactly this and mostly first trimester from 5 weeks.

But I was the same as you and frantic. Can you go earlier-perhaps when you're just over 6 weeks just for some peace of mind?

Thank you AstroKate, just needed some kinds of reassurance. I think it will help if I were to try and get an early scan in to see if I can find out whats happening.

I will also join the Jan2020 antenal group to keep an eye out on progress!
