Im 20 year old. I've had 2 miscarriages one in Sept 05, and one is May 07. I am now pregnant again. im 6 weeks and 2 days. im scared out of my mind!!! i began spotting at the begining of the week (so i was extreamly nervous) I asked my doctor what to do and he said there is nothing i can do but relax. so i've been trying to take it easy.. now im bleeding alot its not bright red or anything its kind of weird. its a lot of clear discharge with dark pink inside. and it doesnt go on my pad its mostly when i wipe my self. but its a significant amount. Oh my Doctor also but me on Crinone8% progesterone gel 2 days ago, to try to keep the baby stay in me. they also did an ultra sound 2 days ago and the sac was there but no heart beat. its strange because when i had my past miscarraiges i didnt have cramps or anything i just went to the bathroom and everything poured out. no pain or anything. and they were both around 6-7 weeks. now i've been spotting for a week now and its been getting heavier and i have a little cramps every once in a while. so i dont know if im having another miscarraige or not. please help!! I am so scared can anyone give me some advice or has this happend to anyone.

Unfortunately, there's not much to do except see the doctor. Has your doctor done betas to be sure they are doubling properly?

You may have just been early at your ultrasound (could have ovulated later than you thought or implanted late and not be as far along which could cause you to see less in the ultrasound than you were expecting). Is your doctor doing another u/s around 7 weeks to check if there's been growth and progress (a heartbeat, a fetal pole, etc)?

I do know progesterone suppositories can cause some spotting too.

I did have pink/brown spotting mostly when I wiped, occasionally a few drops on a pantyliner throughout the first trimester (until 13 weeks) and am at 39 weeks now. I wasn't on progesterone, doc just said some women have a sensitive cervix in early pregnancy. In my case, the spotting never did get heavier, would go away after a day or so (once I was beyond 5 weeks) and then return a few days later.

Did you call the doctor? It sounds like you should call and go in to get checked. Some cramping in early pregnancy (like period cramps) can be completely normal, but it sounds like with your history, you should get checked out.

Unfortunately Ive gone through the same bleeding no cramping and both ended up in misscarriage now I am pregnant and spotting and as you terrified...I feel for you and hope all works out .Both misscarriages were at 6 weeks . Did you have a D&C after your misscarriages ? I didnt with the first but the second I demanded it cause if your body doesnt flush it all out you will have issues that is what my Dr said .Good luck

Depends
Depends on the individual I had a lil spotting in the begining at 6 weeks all the way up through my 12th week and everything went really well. Every womans body is unique, what happens to some might not necessarily happen for others. Basically you just have to leave it up to time. And remember if you do have a miscarriage it was meant for a reason.

After a miscarriage due to the D&C, you should be able to fall preggers easily, a D&C cleans out your body.
