Bleeding - update
Im getting very worried now as i had what i thought was implantation bleeding last week (im 6 weeks today). It was brown and just spotting and lasted on and off for 3 days. I have had a browny discharge since then. Last night the brown bleeding started again but heavier and so i have made a docs appt for later today. I have no pain and no red blood, do you think this wil be ok?
Its my first pregnancy so im really unsure of why this would be happening, i know brown blood is old blood but it seems strange i would be losing this much. I am testing a very strong BFP still but i know this would stay like this anyway. Would an early external scan show up this early (as i don't want an internal as fear it may cause more problems).
Thanks for any replies xxx

You would definitely need an internal scan this early on - an external wouldn't show anything as the foetus is too far down in the pelvis. I had the same problem as you with this pg (I'm now 21 weeks), and had 2 internal scans at 5 and 7 weeks. The internal scans do not cause any damage and will not cause or 'speed up' a miscarriage, so my advice would be to go straight to your Early Pregnancy Unit (you can phone them direct to get in if your GP won't refer you) and get one done - it's obviously invasive for you, but won't cause any harm to lo.
Good luck!

Can you imagine how worried I was. I too had bleeding. But very dark red with clots. And that turned out to be fine. So try not to stress too much. Though I know you would anyway. But wait till you hear something before getting too worked up.
Dont forget to let us know!!!!

hope all goes ok for you and be sure to keep us posted.xxxx
Its so horrible not knowing but im going to TRY and stay positive until then as no pain and no red blood so could be worse.
Ill let you know how it goes on wednesday xxx
stay positive i know how it feels to wait, i had to wait 2days but i thought if the blood turns red then il start to panic
This early pregnancy stuff is so worrying (im sure it is whether you have bleeding or not). The fact that i have never had any pg symtoms doesn't help either but i guess ill find out one way or the other soon xx
I didn't have the early pregnancies worries as I didn't know I was pregnant until after 12 weeks however I can empathise with you because due to a MC 3 years ago I have been little miss paranoid the whole way through!
Anyway I really just want to say please try & think positively & i'm sure everything will be OK. As you don't seem to have any red 'fresh' blood this is probably your body getting rid of the waste as such so your LO can lie in comfort!
All the best,
Lauren (32wks) xx
