Default Spotting!!!! OH NO!!

I just went to do my evening shot and then used the bathroom and noticed that I'm spotting. I spotted a little last week but it was SO faint and then it stopped. Sorry in Advance for TMI but its a little bit heavier than before, still brownish but definitely more than before but still not a full flow. I dont feel crampy or anything. I've never naturally miscarried before so I wouldnt even know what to expect. My first loss was deteced via U/S and the 2nd as well. I never bled or spotted and had a D&C both times.

I really hope this is not something bad. I know some people mentioned that they spot during their pregnancies. I hope its nothing serious. I also hope I dont sound delusional either. I mean I've really stayed so realistic this past week but I'm just starting to get excited and now this.......

Please PLEASE pray for my bean !!!!!

I will definietly pray for you! I spotted with all 3 of my pregnancy's, so hopefully it's nothing. I also had 2 m/c's and they always told me that the brownish spotting is usually nothing, it's the bright red you need to worry about. I hope everything is ok and like I said, you'll be in my prayers!

Just as additional support, I spotted with my PG too.

It's very, very common and actually not a bad sign at all!

I agree, spotting is very common. And don't worry, I don't think there's such a thing as TMI with us. We've all BTDT at some point in time, right? Also, are you doing any suppositories? Sometimes w/supp's just the insertion process is enough to cause spotting, even minor bleeding. I'm just glad to here there's no more spotting for you!

Oh you poor thing - I feel your stress! But sounds like all is perfectly normal! I can't offer any advice just well wishes! That little bean is a fighter and probably just pushing the junk out of his way to get more comfy for a long stay!

Renee,

The same thing happened to me, right after my first beta I started spotting, nurse said not to worry, sure enough my next beta more than doubled, so try not to worry because they say it is very common to spot with an IVF baby and now look I'm 27 weeks.

Well ladies, the brown spotting turned to pink and now red, not bright red, more brownish red and much more than before. I'm not crampy and I dont feel any pain, I just feel like my period just started. Once I saw red, I knew it was bad. I'm going to do my shots this morning and call RE in a little bit. I guess I'll hold out hope until then............
