Is spotting normal after a vaginal ultrasound? Posted: 11-17-07 18:26pm
So yesterday I posted in the Pregnancy
Community Chat about my ultrasound, and
that by it I am 5 weeks and 3 days. I had
the vaginal ultrasound last night at about
4:30. A few hours ago I went to the
bathroom and there was a spot of pinkish,
brownish dishcharge on my underwear....it
was kinda mixed and some looked like
normal dishcharge. I then only saw very
light brown when I wiped and havent seen
any since then....I called my doctor and
she said just watch for heavier bleeding
or cramping, but im trying to not freak
out.
Did anyone have this around 5 weeks??
Could this be caused by the vaginal
ultrasound I had done??
My doctor is going to order another
ultrasound in a week or so to see if there
is a heartbeat...(Im PRAYING there is)

it was most likely caused by the
ultrasound
as long as its not red blood. remember red
blood is bad blood.

It is very common to spot after the
vaginal ultrasound or after having sex too
in early pregnancy because the cervix is
so sensitive. As long as it's pink or
brown and stops after a day or 2 and
doesn't increase in amount, everything
should be fine.

Yea I called my doctor and she is going to
order another ultrasound this coming week,
so we can try and see the ultrasound.
I only had it the one time when I peed and
wiped...and havent had any since then, so
im feeling much better about it, but I was
really scared when it happened.

Yea it just feels like its taking forever
But the the only time I really think about
it is on the weekends or at night,
otherwise im busy with school and work, so
that helps a lot.

It was most likely from the ultrasound but
still keep an eye on wether there is any
more and if you notice cramping call your
doctor right away, even if in the end it
might not be something its better to know
than stress about it
But the the only time I really think about
it is on the weekends or at night,
otherwise im busy with school and work, so
that helps a lot.
