TMI picture! 6 wk pregnant spotting?

Hi all. TMI PICTURE below
About 2 days ago I had some light brown mixed in with my normal discharge. Yesterday I had lots of watery clear discharge two times I thought I had weed my self because there was so much.

Today upon waking up I went to the toilet and saw some very pale light brown discharge in the toilet and slightly yellow when wiping? Is this normal?

I can't help but worry 😞

Brown spotting is usually old blood leaving the body so nothing to worry about.
It's when it's bright red it would be considered a new bleed and something to be looked at.

Hi - I had what turned out to be implementation bleeding in my first pregnancy, it was more blood than that (felt enough like the beginning of a period for me to think I had miscarried). At 6/7w they can do a scan and check for gestational sac etc., so if you’re concerned and have the money for private, I’d say do that. I did, and found it very reassuring at the time (12w scan can feel like a long way off) and the pregnancy was perfectly fine

I agree with @Luluem ! I had bleeding like this that was just old blood leaving, I even had some clots and it was fine. I've got a scan booked in this Saturday AND next Saturday just to check everything's fine, also had a scan at 6 weeks with NHS but the upcoming scans are private. It's so difficult after a loss to worry but have as many scans as you need just for the reassurance! 💛

Thank you so much for your replies! ❤️

I have a scan booked for next Tuesday, but I'm feeling really anxious. I've continued to have some of this discharge watery yellow/brown upon wiping and I just keep reading stories about blighted ovum and bad things and I think I'm scaring myself by reading everything. 😞 xxx

Not after sex as haven't had that for around a week now, but I'd say for a good few days on and off I've had this discharge now its like watery and just a stain of very light brown / yellow ( this was today's) how long did yours last when you had it? ❤️ xx

A few days but it did go a bright red at one point. How's it going now?

I'm happy to see your update. That's exactly the same colour of spotting/ bleeding I've had recently. It lasted about a week from 5.4-6.3. I'm now 7.1 and have a scan tomorrow. Haven't had any spotting for almost a week so fingers crossed!
I'm old and have had a MMC before so this is my last chance now. We shall see what tomorrow brings!

@PaperSheet any update on your scan? How did it go? Fingers crossed everything went well for you! I'm 10 weeks 1 day now and saw little baby on the scan a few days ago! Here's a pic!
