UPDATED BELOW TW: Spotting, No Answers and Worried... Any thoughts?

Last Tuesday, I was 11w6d and around 7:30pm I went to the washroom and had pink spotting. It was only when I wiped and not even in my underwear, but an alarming amount. After that one trip, it went away except for very residual amounts when wiping.

I called my midwives, and the on call midwife told me she wasn't concerned unless it got heavier/didn't go away/turned red instead of pink or brown. She told me to relax and keep an eye on it.

The next day, at 12w exactly, I had the same thing happen at night again. Around 7pm maybe a little earlier or later, I went to the washroom and this time had brown spotting.

Once again, it was only the one time that night with residual after.

On Thursday morning, I got up and around 7:30am I had one spot of brown when I was wiping. Then little bit of residual during the day. No spotting at night. It seemed like it was going away.

Friday, all day I had nothing until around 6:30pm I went to the washroom and there was actual red spotting when I wiped and there was also blood in the toilet. Not a lot by any means, but more than the size of a quarter.

I immediately called my midwives again, and the midwife on call told me that because it's still light bleeding/spotting, I don't need to go get checked out-- only if I was soaking through a pad in 2 hours. She specified not a panty liner a pad. However, she told me because it had been since Tuesday, if I was uncomfortable or having cramping I could also go get checked out at the emergency room at our local hospital that has the pregnancy clinics.

I was going to hold out because she told me it still wasn't very concerning, because it was small amounts, but seeing the bright red got my anxiety way too high. I went to the washroom a second time after speaking with her and it was more red blood, so we decided to go to the emergency room.

I was triaged immediately, they took blood during triage, and I was through registration and taken a second waiting room quickly. We waited about 2 hours before we saw the doctor.

He told me they got my blood results back and things were looking promising there: my hcg was 43,000 and my hemoglobin was 140.

The next step he told me was to send me to the Early pregnancy Assessment Clinic, which would be the next day (Saturday morning). They set my appointment for 10:30am, told me I would have ultrasound and an appointment with the OB-GYN after. They gave me a pamphlet that told me to be prepared to be in the hospital for about 3 hours.

We went home to sleep and come back because it was late, and headed straight back in the morning. At registration, they told me I'd have ultrasound and then go upstairs for my appointment.

Then, when I saw the ultrasound tech, she told me she can't give me any results (of course), and that when we were done she would call the OB, and they might just send me home and tell me to follow up with the midwives. I didn't get that because why would I have an urgent weekend appointment just to not be given any answers?

So she did the ultrasound, called the doctor and they sent me home. I'm frustrated now because my midwives are closed until Tuesday, so why did I even bother with coming in on a Saturday? And why did everyone else tell me I DID have an appointment with the OB?

I've got no answers to why I'm bleeding, no one will tell me if I am or am not miscarrying, and they just want me to keep waiting?

I am still spotting today, and it's Sunday now-- I had a little drop this morning when I went to the washroom. I just want to know if we should be prepared for the worst, or if there's hope for this pregnancy. I was so excited to hit 12 weeks and be past the major miscarriage risk and instead I'm stuck here in limbo with no idea what's happening to me or my baby.

Has anyone ever had something like this happen? Every have spotting on and off for this long, at this stage?

Ever be refused an appointment for your results after a situation like this? And have to wait until your regular provider is available?

Any words of wisdom, any advice, or even just good wishes at this point would all be helpful. I'm so stressed and sad and confused and I just want to know what's going on. I can't find anything anywhere about anyone else going through something specifically like this. I'm just hoping someone can provide some insight. 😭

Update: I had my screening ultrasound today for down syndrome etc, and it looks like we are in the clear. Baby is growing well, the ultrasound tech told me everything was looking good, she showed me baby moving and putting their arms up in front of their face. ❤
