And Like I said I had the discharge for several weeks and red fresh blood and I was ok...so dont worry for now and just wait and see what HCG levels say or demand another scan for your peace of mind! I did and I felt way better after seeing my little blob with a heartbeat!!]]>

I mean....with my m/c I started spotting pink, then brown for 4 days then I had my m/c., I started spotting the tuesday morning ad m/c the friday morning.<br />But with Caden, I spoted pink, then brown for nearly 2 weeks, It got quite dark at times but still brown, had a scan at 6 weeks and saw a heartbeat and I even spotted brown after the scan.<br />So its really so hard for us to say anything...because we dont know which way it will go.<br /><br />I have everything crossed for you hun, and hope and pray that this bubba sticks for you.<span style="font-size:10px"><br /><br />Edited by CadensMum</span>]]>

So I'm puzzled. I assume my HCG is still pretty high or I wouldn't have such bad ms?<IMG src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0"></P><P>If I was gonna mc,wouldn't I have started by now given that the first spotting/discharge started Monday night? <IMG src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0"></P>]]>

Given that you have had such good hcg and a great scan I'd say chances are that this spotting is nothing to worry about.  Although, of course its probably impossible not to.<br /><br />Thinking of you and sending best wishes for your next hcg results.]]>

I have a strong, healthy baby growing inside of me. I just kept saying it until I had calmed down.<br /><br />I am thinking of you hun and I hope its just a bit of muck left over from implantation! Would definately recommend staying away from special cuddles though... its not worth the stress!]]>

The cervix is a funny thing.<br /><br />I know it's way different but I've had preventative treatment for cervical cancer (pre cancerous Lletz) and the slightest thing causes me to bleed on and off for up to a month.  Even a smear sets me off so perhaps this GP's theory of the cervix being effected could quite possibly be true.  ]]>

Was totally freaky since I've had miscarriages before I was sure it was happening again. I had a scan at 6wk2d which showed a good strong heartbeat which was reassuring but didn't really stop me worrying. I also did get a lot of reassurance from here, its amazing how common it seems to be. I was told it was from the implantation, just bubs burying in nice and deep. All you can really do is ride it out and hope for the best, hard to do I know.]]>

Harmless spotting/bleeding in early preg is not uncommon, so I found out when it happened to me.  Right from the day my AF was due, I had pink/brown spotting, which gradually turned into red blood by 8 weeks (had cramps too). Right up until 14 weeks I had regular period-like bleeding every few days with the spotting in between, and huge gushes at 9 weeks and 16 weeks - so many times thought I was going to mc.  But lots and lots of hcg tests, scans and hosp visits showed bubs was fine and not troubled by it at all! As you can see from my ticker everything turned out okay.  Apparently it happens a lot and no one knows why.  My GP's theory is that the bleeding comes from the cervix, not the uterus, and perhaps when the muscle relaxing hormone is released during pregnancy it relaxes and softens your cervix so much that when things are stretching your cervix is a bit too sensitive and the blood vessels burst, probably causing the spotting/bleeding. One of the ladies from my work had bleeding right throughout her first preg and her bub was fine. She was a great support when it was happening to me!  If there is anyone from your workplace, circle of friends, family who had it happen to them that you could talk to about it as it can really help - of course there are always the forums too <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0"> I'm sure everything will be fine Emmecat and I'm sending positive thoughts your way.....]]>

And I have a very wriggly bub in there at the mo. <br /><br />I know its hard not to stress and trust me I stressed when I saw discharge this time, even tho I had been thru worse with DD.....How ever try and relax as much as possible....Unless cramping starts you are all good. They say seeing a strong hear beat at 7-8 weeks drops the MC chances to like 5%.<br /><br />Congrats!!! and stick baby stick!<img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0"> ]]>

It may be the start of something not nice i'm sorry to say but at the same time, it's not abnormal to spot.  Hopefully your HCG levels come out ok.  Have you thought about stomping your feet to get another scan?  That's what I did when I was having early pains with this pgcy and I just couldn't wait for blood results as I was too stressed about loosing another one.  <br /><br />All the best chick.]]>

I think we're about the same EDD too as at the last scan the sonographer told me I was due 11 May instead of 15 for some reason?! <IMG src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley3.gif" border="0">]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=18300">Emmecat</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 21302<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 30 September 2008 at 9:47am<br /><br /><P>Last night , after having the *worst* ms day so far - lots of vomiting and feeling like utter crap-I went to the loo and you know how about this stage of pg we are prob all experiencing a little more, errm 'discharge' down there? <IMG src="http://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0">...wellI was kinda feeling that before I went to the loo but anyway when I got there I was horrified to see that this time instead of being a cremay colour, it was tinged with brown! <IMG src="http://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0">&nbsp;Not brown blood...it was mixed in with my cm (sorry tmi) and only a little on my panties and then a little when I wiped. No cramping oranything then or since. Just the usual twnges I get every now and then.</P><P>I called my MW and she said it could be ominous or it could be nothing and is sending out fastpost a couple of HCG forms and a referral fr a scan next week when I"ll be about 9weeks along for 'reassurance'.</P><P>I had a scan last Friday at 7 weeks and we had a nice strong heartbeat so I guess that is a good sign? </P><P>I've been checking myself frequently since last night and there's been no more spotting either on my panties or when I wipe (sorry tmi), although I still have the usual cm which seems to be gettinga little creamier and slightly heavier- although no smell or anything (sorry- so embarassing!) <IMG src="http://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0"></P><P>My questions are- is it normal to spot briefly around this time of pg? And why? DP and I haven't had special cuddles since I found out I was pg, so it's not that. I guess if I wasn't pg, my period would've been due around this time, give a day or so...could that be it?</P><P>Or is this a likely sign of an impending&nbsp;missed mc or a 'regular' mc? <IMG src="http://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0">&nbsp;I'm paranoid after last time and the bloody time before that too! I thought once we had a heartbeat it as more likely than not that this pg would be fine.....<IMG src="http://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0">&nbsp;</P><P>Also, this morning I'm feeling quite a bit better ms wise- still nauseous but was able to eat my toast without spewing (although had a couple of retches during it&nbsp;yuck)...and now I think my bbs feel less sore too! And I'm focusing all my attention on the twinges in my lower abs...although they're absolutely not cramps and certainly nothing like mc cramps. Just occasionally and prob no more than normal I guess lol</P><P>Any advice? I'm resting up today adn will just wait for the forms from my MW but I guess I just wanted to know if this is likely the end of this pg or just something that happens sometimes?</P><P>TIA <IMG src="http://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0"></P>]]>
