If spotting and nothing to be alarmed about, how long is ok? I just started spotting on Tuesday. Monday we had sex and wasnt spotting before. Ive miscarried in the past with no spotting. I have two girls. Another thing, i was tired in the beginning and now not really now and dont have a appetite and really never did. I dont have morning sickeness too. Didnt have it with my girls. Its like now what?My blood is brown and today it looks like i should be wearing a pad but a thin one. The other days i just wiped blood off when urinating.

Not to scare you but I was four weeks pregnant and started with some slight spotting but it eventually got worse, I went to the doctor and got it checked out and I was having a miscarriage. I would say make an appointment with your doctor and see how it goes. My heart goes out to, I know how it feels to feel so unsure of everything and scared to death that it might not last. The only way I was able to cope with it was not to get my hopes up at all until after I went to the doctor and second please do yourself a favor and don't google anything too much, you'll go insane with worrying. Just trust your instincts and see the doctor! But there is no remedy out there for the constant pacing and worrying until then Sad The best of luck to you

Dont take this the wrong way but doctors say its ok when its not. I was told i was ok at 12 weeks , the baby didnt grow past 6 and ended up miscarrying after they told me that i should be fine

Spotting At 5weeks
I did have a miscarraige after all. I figured it was going to happen on Thursday. Friday night i started cramping really bad worse than a period. I couldnt sleep either until i took two tylenol when i should have done it earlier. Finally at about 5am i feel asleep. Saturday night everything passed as i went to the toilet. Im ok now. Better that it happened now than later. I miscarried at 17 weeks and two months later had a blighted ovum at about 4weeks. I think this one was the same too. Noticed the changes around the 4th week too. Everything is fine. Im going in for my checkup next week. We have two girls 9 and 3yrs old. Am i trying again? Yes because if i didnt after the miscarraige and blighted ovum my 3 year old wouldnt be with us today. Eventually it gets better and you heal. You have to realize that it happens even to those that think it will never happen to them. This time when i go to the doctor im going to ask for 1mg of Folic acid. It helped with my 3 year old. The nurse told me to take this prescription for 3 months and after that try for a baby. I did and everything turned out fine. Maybe if i had done it in the beginning this wouldnt have happened but who knows. If anyone plans on getting pregnant again request it from the doctor,doesnt hurt. Prenatal vitamins only have 800mg of it. Folic acid, a B vitamin, helps prevent birth defects of the brain and spinal.
