Does spotting scare anyone else?

Question

I have been having period-like cramps on and off all day. And now have some light brown spotting and started panicking. After some reading online I feel better. Anyone else have these feelings and freak out?

Answer

I've been spotting brown blood today and it's freaked me out. I called the nurse and they ordered an HCG test, progesterone test, and an ultrasound. The ultrasound looks good with a strong heart beat and the HCG was fine but the progesterone was on the low side of normal. Waiting for a call back in the morning to talk to the doc about the progesterone to see if they think we should do anything about it. I'd call the nurse. The ultrasound help sooth my fears.

Answer

I had that in my other pregnancy and the dr told me it's ok as long isn't bright red. That brown discharge is usually old blood from implantation

Answer

How far along are you? I know that mild cramps and spotting can be caused by implantation bleeding. I had some. Also, I'm still spotting and I'm almost 8 weeks! I have an ultrasound to check everything next Friday. However they did see a bleed on my first ultrasound so they think it's that blood exiting my uterus. You could be experiencing that too! Alsooooo, mild cramping can be uterine growing pains :). But if you are worried call your doctor and they will get you in sooner to check your levels and everything. Also, if you are RH negative they might tell you to get a shot

Answer

I'm having light cramping with some brown spotting. I'm worried too. But everywhere I read says I should be worried when it's red and my cramps are painful. Even my friend who is a midwife says I shouldn't worry.

Answer

No cramps but very very light, brown spotting. Told my dr about it today she did an ultrasound everything checks out.
