Hey ladies! I am 5 weeks and yesterday I had a little bit of brown discharge and today I had a bit more. It's strange, yesterday was like brown tinged ewcm and today it is like brown paste. Not a ton, just a bit in my undies, wouldn't put a pad on or anything. Starting to get a bit freaked out, I called my doctors office yesterday and spoke to a nurse, she said it was probably old IB since I never had any spotting before but then today there was more then yesterday. Anyone else had this?
I had a small pocket of blood aka hematoma at 6 wk 5 days on U/S...and my bambina is just fine! :)
I had bleeding with all 3 of my boys like that...
I had low progesterone & they gave me a pill to take. I'd just stay on top of it with the doctor's office so they run some labs.
I honestly don't think you have anything major to worry about...especially since the blood is dark :)
Good luck, CVD and congrats on the BFP!! :)
Yeah I don't think you have anything to worry about either. I know exactly what you're having, I had a lot of that streaked with mucous with DS3, FREAKED me out because I was so worried about incompetent cervix (I went early with DS1 and DS2). Anyways, if it's brown like that it's old blood or the cervix getting a bit irritated, but as long as it doesn't turn bright red it's fine.
So no worries, as long as it doesn't change to crimson or turn into AF-like flow, it's normal. But you can always ask for them to check your hcg/progesterone levels if you're really concerned.
I don't think it's anything to worry about; I had brown discharge like that with all 3 of my children.
same for me its really common and all my boys were fine. Watch out for red blood and/or heavy cramping though
Good to know ladies. I havent had any cramping or crazy pains! I had no spotting at all with DS so this is new to me eek! Thanks <3!!
I had no spotting at all with DS1, but had a little bit with DS2 early on. Mine was pinkish-red though, and the doctor's office had me come in right away (it ended up being a SCH, so nothing to worry about - it resolved on its own weeks later). However, I do remember them asking me on the phone if the blood was pink/red or brown. It seemed as though it wouldn't be a problem or anything to worry about if it's brown (as PP's have said - brown means old blood and not really anything to be alarmed about).
Either way, take it easy and don't lift anything heavy. If it turns to red and/or you start having very heavy cramping, I'd say call your doc and insist on being seen. Otherwise, try not to worry (I know, easier said than done!) ;)
I had the same exact thing for the past 2-3 days. I was on my feet all day last Friday at an amusement park, so I think that may have been what caused it. It was a dark tan, then lightened up the next couple days, and very minimal, so I am not worrying about it. I did have real spotting with my other 2, but it was a few days after DTD and my OB said I had a very vascular Cervix. I'm sure it's fine, just go in if it turns into real blood.
I had it again this morning. SO WEIRD it comes at the same time each day lol, mid morning around 10am 3 days in a row but never again for the rest of the day! My DS gets needles tomorrow so I will ask my doctor when I see her! So strange though
