Hi all,

I’m sorry to post the TMI pic but I’ve been the toilet twice today and had some light brown blood on the tissue. I’m so worried.

I’m 5 weeks and 3 days so only early. Can anyone help?

thank you 🩷🩷

I feel a bit like you in the sense that I was hoping I’d see a bit more. However I was just under 6 weeks as I’m 5 weeks and 6 days today. All I keep thinking is did I imagine things she said, like did she really say she could see the yolk, or did she really say my linings thick. I’m overthinking everything and doubting myself incase I’ve heard her wrong 🤣 it’s such a worrying time. Fingers crossed when we go for our next scans we hear a heartbeat 🥺🤞 xxx

Either of those two things she told you is great news and completely normal for the week you are in, so try to stay calm!
We have no choice but to wait. Plus, I read that there can always be a difference of a few days in what shows up on the scan. The most important thing right now is that neither of us is bleeding anymore 🤞❤️
