5 week pregnant and spotting for days

Hi everyone,
I'm currently 5+2 and have been spotting for about 3 days. Everytime I've wiped there's either red or brown blood. Not a lot, it's literally just spotting. I'm just a little worried about it as I didn't have any kind of bleeding or spotting at all with my first pregnancy.
I spotted about a week before I was due on, as well as a few days before. And now I've been spotting for 3 days straight.
The early pregnancy unit won't see me until I'm at least 6 weeks which is Sunday. I've had light cramps, but no other pregnancy symptoms at all. I'm definitely pregnant and must have taken at least 15 pregnancy tests including 2 digital.
Anyone else experienced spotting for days at a time and ended up with a happy healthy pregnancy? The stress probably isn't helping me or the baby, but I just can't help it. Thanks

I had on and off spotting between weeks 4-6 and it was the worst experience after 2 previous miscarriages. I even one morning had around an hour of red blood with clots in and was just convinced it was the end. At 7 weeks I got to see a healthy little baby with a heart beat and was told no cause could be identified for the bleeding I’m now 9+4 and still extremely anxious but hoping everything is okay! Stay positive and I hope everything works out for you xx

@Anonymouslyposting1996 Hi - Im going through similar to you! so just know you are not alone. I found out I was pregnant with a digital 5 days before my period was even due because i was having extreme boob pain and headaches! i was so surprised it came up on a digital so early. period was due Friday and i started spotting on Saturday evening, and then cramping a little and then more slight pink today. I'd only be around 4 and a half weeks now I think so a little behind you. The Friday i did a normal dye and there was a faint cross, then i did a digital on Saturday morning and it still said 1-2 weeks. I find it so hard knowing we have no medical or professional support in this first 6 weeks. I know they can't see anything on scans this early but I still think there needs to be support for women in this situation. Advice, Reassurance etc.

How are you today? x
