Am I overthinking it?

Question

So I have a history of PCOS and my husband and I have been trying to conceive for about 3 and a half years. Last week we had our first ever positive pregnancy tests (and a I’ve been testing every other day or so and line has been getting darker/ still there/ not faint lines any more). Today I am estimated at 5 weeks 1 day and I’ve been having some intermittent cramping (not doubled over or anything) and some brown spotting. Is this normal? Should I be worried?

Answer

I’ve met women with healthy babies who had the same symptoms as you during pregnancy. I would still contact your OB, though, just so they can do the necessary testing ASAP in case you need progesterone or anything!

And I just spotted brown yesterday. It stopped already. I am hopeful because  I did spot with my first too and she was healthy as can be
