Ongoing Brown Discharge

Hi all,

I'm just writing to see if anyone has experienced ongoing Brown Discharge throughout early pregnancy and everything was fine? I had a MC at the start of June and I am 6 weeks pregnant today. I'm so incredibly anxious as since 4 weeks I've had discharge and twice there has been bright red blood, but only when I wipe. The brown discharge was pretty much the same as last time but maybe lighter, the odd "stringy bit", but there's something there every time I wipe.

I spoke to my doctor who said, like last pregnancy, some women just bleed which I totally get and sent me for some blood tests as I was too early to scan. At 5+2 my levels were 1130 and I am currently waiting for my results back from yesterday's blood test to see if they have increased as they should be doing so.

I have had no cramps - the odd twinge and both sides of my tummy - and no real pregnancy symptoms - the odd time my boobs hurt - and I feel completely different to last time. My SIL said she didn't have any real symptoms for all 4 of her pregnancies which gives me a little hope.

I just feel so down about it all and don't want to get too excited in case it happens again. I am hoping for the best but expecting the worst. My husband says although it's similar to last time, we will never know if the bleeding/discharge related to the MC and he's right in a way. Looking back I was quite poorly and drained last pregnancy and feel so much better.

Just need to do know this can be common and have the outcome we really hope for.

Thanks for reading and appreciate any comments back xx

Hi I can not rewlly give any insight I am afraid, I just didn't want to read and run. I had brown discharge from 5 weeks with my last pregnancy and like you kept being told it was fine. I had a missed miscarrage at 11.5 weeks picked up at my 13 week scan. That pregnancy turned out to be a partial mole.
I am currently pregnant 6+1 and slowly loosing my mind. I have barley any symptoms apart from needing a wee more and feel fine. I had mild backache last week and have convinced myself something is wrong.... so overall feel you anxiety and stress. Sending you massive positive vibes as like your husband says, you don't know anything is wrong Flowers

@xyloto I had this throughout my first trimester. And luckily everything has been fine for me (currently 32 weeks preg). Even though it sends you into an absolute panic sometimes it can just be completely normal. I remember it happening to me and I just kept thinking the worst!

To put my mind at ease I did go for an early scan because I couldn't wait until 12 weeks

@SassyPants87 thank you. I am going for a scan on Saturday morning so fingers crossed. I have had red bleeding today so don’t know what to think. My HCG levels have increased but not as much as they hoped. Just keeping hoping and praying everything will be ok Sad xx
