Burning Cramps and a Little Spotting
I am 5 weeks +5 days pregnant and am jumping at every little symptom. The "good" news is that my breasts have been bigger and are in constant discomfort since before week 4, so that symptom has stayed consistent. I ended up getting several bras without underwire and that has helped ease the pain.
What concerns me is my other symptoms. I have had infrequent spotting in my CM for the last 2 weeks, but it had been beige in color and it only appeared when I wipe, never on my underwear. That seems normal.
On Tuesday, though when I peed after waking up, there was a very small amount of pink blood with my CM when I wiped and then a second time 40 minutes later when I peed and wiped again. Nothing more appeared again for a portion of the day. Toward mid afternoon, I had about 1:4 tsp of light brown discharge in my CM, then nothing further Tuesday.
I called my OB who sent me for a blood test, and my HCG read 2710 which they said was good. I go back again tomorrow morning for a 2nd test and they will compare the two numbers.
Yesterday I had no spotting or CM when wiping all day.
Last night when I got home from work around 5:30, I had been feeling a burning cramping sensation in the car and when I peed and wiped, there was about 1/4-1/2 tsp light red blood mixed with CM. There looked to be a darker strand of blood in it, too. The burning cramps did not subside until I was comfy in bed (at 7:45 - I am exhausted lately!).
First pee this morning, when I wiped there was about 1/2 tsp of dark brown mixed with my CM.
I am having trouble staying calm about all the changes in my body and the discharge. I have decided that calling the doctor about every little thing will not help me because if I am going to miscarry, there is nothing they or I can do about it. I keep hearing a mix of good and bad stories where spotting is involved. I am hoping someone can give me some positive thoughts regarding my symptoms. I am of course worried, but until Dec 5th when I have my 8 week appointment and first ultrasound, all I can do is breathe.
